Best Practices for Product QR Codes
Minimum size: 10mm x 10mm (0.4" x 0.4") for reliable scanning. Go larger for better results.
Contrast: Dark code on light background. Avoid placing on busy patterns or photos.
Mobile-optimized destination: Most scans happen on phones. Ensure your landing page works perfectly on mobile.
Test on actual packaging: Materials like foil, glossy finishes, or curved surfaces can affect scanability.
Call-to-action: Add text like "Scan for Setup Video" or "Scan to Register Warranty" near the code.
