How does a product info QR Code work?

A product information QR Code gives customers instant access to everything they need after purchase. With one scan, they see the latest manuals, warranty details, or setup guides.

Because these QR Codes are dynamic, you can update manuals or specs anytime without reprints. Plus, every scan is tracked, giving you insights into usage and engagement.

Provide instant content updates

No more reprinting when specs change or errors slip through. Simply update your dynamic QR Code to push the latest manual, warranty, or compliance details. Ensure customers always see the latest version.

How to ensure your product info QR Codes deliver value

Ensure high contrast and minimum size

Ensure high contrast and minimum size

A QR Code only works if it’s scannable. Always design with dark code elements against a light background and never invert the pattern. For packaging, use at least 2 × 2 cm (300 dpi).

Place near the model or serial number

Place near the model or serial number

Customers naturally look at product serials and model identifiers during setup or support. Placing your QR Codes near these spots makes them intuitive to find and scan.

Add a clear call to action

Add a clear call to action

Always add framed text like “Scan for manual” or “Register warranty here.” Pair it with a short fallback URL in case of rare scan issues. Test your CTA with real customers and A/B test frame text for higher engagement.

Test scanability across devices

Test scanability across devices

Not all smartphone cameras or scanning apps behave the same. Always evaluate your QR Code on multiple devices (iOS, Android, mid-tier cameras). Test different lighting conditions and finishes (e.g., glossy vs. matte packaging).

Use trackable QR Codes for updates

Use trackable QR Codes for updates

Static QR Codes lock you into a single destination. Dynamic QR Codes allow you to update content anytime without reprinting. This makes your packaging future-proof and saves costly redesigns.

Offer language selection on landing pages

Offer language selection on landing pages

Products often ship globally. Ensure your landing page offers language selection or automatic redirects based on device location/language. Accessibility-friendly pages (alt-text, readable fonts) broaden usability.

Where to put product info QR Codes for easy scanning and access

Product label

Your product’s back label is where customers go for model numbers, serial codes, and certifications. Add the product info QR Code here so the path is obvious when they need technical details or warranty information.

Packaging sleeve or box exterior

The unboxing stage is the most exciting moment for customers. Placing a product info QR Code on the sleeve or box creates a gateway to instant setup guidance right before they open it.

Quick-start card inside the box

Include a printed card with a QR Code that links to product registration, warranty claims, or how-to tutorials. It's best for products with longer life cycles, such as home appliances and industrial equipment.

Service center poster or repair forms

Product landing page and receipts
