How do I use a QR code in my stickers?

Make sure your QR code is at least 2cm x 2cm when in your finished printed design. They need to be a high quality DPI (dots per inch), and it's best to make sure you have a lot of contrast between the QR code and any background colors (black on white works the best). Add your QR code to your designs, print your stickers, share them, and watch people start finding your content in a whole new way.

Using QR Codes on Custom Stickers for Your Business

We understand that your business is just as important as the high-quality stickers and labels you use. Why not elevate your sticker design with even more resources for your customers? In come the limitless possibilities of a QR code. A QR code can be simply incorporated throughout your sticker design and leads your customers to places like your social media platforms, contact information, or more details on your product, without adding additional words to your sticker.
