QR Coded Tags – Get Customers To Your Website With One Scan

WHAT IS A QR CODE:

A QR Code or Quick Response Code, is a 2D barcode that typically leads to a website. If it doesn’t lead to a website, then it can lead to a serial number. QR Codes can be scanned with a smart phone or a 2D scanner.

WHAT TAGS CAN HAVE A QR CODE ON THEM:

Almost all our plate tags can have a QR Code laser etched onto them. For QR Codes we recommend the UV Stable Black Aluminum material because the black and white contrast is the best for reading the QR Code with a smartphone. Stainless Steel or Blue Aluminum would be the next best options. Not available on Brass. We also offer Asset Labels where you can design your own QR Coded label.

QR CODE TAG USES:

Any time you want to lead someone to a website, a QR Code is an easy way to get them there. The information on the tag can’t change once it’s made. But you can constantly update the website that the QR Code leads to. If you want to lead someone to a website to learn more about what they are looking at. Or, if you want them to go to a website to sign in and log information about the equipment they are working with. A QR Code can easily get them to the correct place without them having to type in a website name.

Some uses include, but are not limited to: Tree Tags, Asset Tags, Menu Tags, Promotional Tags, Equipment/Tool Tags, etc.

HELPFUL TIPS:

• We create the QR Code here for you, all we need is for you to send us the URLs or the number series. If you are getting 100 tags with 100 different URLs, then we will need all 100 links.
• If you are not using your own website, make sure you are using a trusted website that will never be taken down. If the website is removed, your QR Codes are now unreadable.
• If your URLs are long and you are getting a small tag, your QR Codes will be denser. This makes it harder to read with a smartphone. Consider using a 3rd party website like Bitly, or redirects, to shorten your URLS. Learn more about barcode density here.
• QR Codes with logos in the middle – At this time, the only way for our software to accommodate this is for you to make the QR Code with the logo in the middle yourself, and send it to us as a logo file. There is a layout charge for each logo file you send us. So, we would recommend doing this type of QR Code only when it is the same URL link on all the tags.
