What is a QR Code?
A QR Code is a type of barcode that instructs a user's device to open a URL or display a custom message. Any modern cell phone has a QR code reader built into the camera. Simply aim your camera at a QR code and the device should recognize the code and suggest that you open the url.

How to generate a QR Code
QR Code Sticker Ideas
Your entire sticker or fridge magnet design doesnt have to simply be a QR code, but if you want to, it's easy to order square stickers of any size and just upload your QR code generated here as the sticker artwork. You can also choose our customizer tool to place your QR code in a specific orientation or adjust the colors and text around your code.
We have seen everything from plain square QR code labels, to codes added to business card stickers, takeout menu magnets and more. Adding a small QR code to any design is a great way to engage customers to visit your website, download your app, or even call your phone number. Think of it as a scannable "bookmark" that you can define!
Waterproof QR Code Stickers
QR codes are great for outdoor marketing. A passerby can snap your code and take your information with them. Our waterproof QR code stickers brave the elements, rain or shine. They're made of heavy duty vinyl and coated with your choice of gloss, or matte finish which protects them from weather and UV light. Your QR code stickers will be fade free and look great outdoors for years to come.
QR Code Sizing
QR Codes don't have to be the focal point of your label or sticker design, but they must be large enough to print clearly for the phone to read them quickly and accurately. We recommend testing your QR code on your own device before committing to printing qr codes on custom stickers. A good rule of thumb is to make your QR code around 1/2" or larger.
