Did You Know?
QR codes were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave, a Japanese automotive company, to track vehicles during manufacturing. They named it 'Quick Response' because they wanted a code that could be decoded quickly. The patent holders chose not to exercise their patent rights, making QR codes free for everyone to use!
Pro Tips
- Use high error correction (H level) for QR codes that will be printed on textured surfaces or may get damaged
- Leave a quiet zone (white border) around your QR code - at least 4 modules wide - for reliable scanning
- Test your QR code with multiple devices before printing - different cameras and apps have varying capabilities
Common Use Cases
- Creating contactless menus for restaurants and cafes
- Sharing WiFi credentials with guests without typing passwords
- Adding QR codes to business cards linking to portfolios
- Generating event tickets with embedded verification
- Creating inventory labels with product information
Best Practices
- Always use shortened URLs in QR codes to reduce complexity and improve scan reliability
- Ensure sufficient contrast between QR code and background (black on white works best)
- Consider using a URL redirect service so you can change the destination without reprinting
