Custom QR Code Designs

There are some important factors to consider when designing QR codes for your business. Size, readable distance, customization, marketing tracking and device need to be considered when creating your QR code

QR Code Design Tips

• Never create a QR code smaller than 1 inch
• The more characters the more complex the code
• Add in some unique branding to your code but never cover up the corner blocks
• Viewing distance should determine how large the QR code should be printed.  The further away the code the larger the print
