QR codes for products: put product information in a scan
Add a QR code to your product, its packaging or its label, and customers scan it to open the product page, a manual, a video or a reorder link. You can make a QR code for products for free. With a Pageloot account you can also edit the link after printing and see scans.

Where to put a QR code on a product
Put the code where customers already look at the product. Print it at least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 in), with a white border and dark colors on a light background. Test it with two phones before a print run.
Packaging and labels
Link the box, label or hang tag to the product page, the instructions or a how-to video. Add a short line next to the code, such as “Scan for setup help”, so people know what they get.
Shop windows and shelf displays
Link a window sticker or shelf card to the online store, a product catalog or a current offer. Shoppers can look at the full range or order a size that is not on the shelf.
Warranty and loyalty cards
Put a code on the card inside the box. It can open the warranty registration form, a care guide or a repeat-order page. A dynamic code lets you change the page later without reprinting the cards.
Receipts and delivery notes
Add a code to the receipt or the delivery note. It can open a review page, a how-to guide or an offer for the next order.

Which QR code type to use for product information
Pick the type by what customers should see after the scan:
- List of links
Send customers to a product page, an online store, a catalog or an offer. One code can link to several pages, for example the product page, the manual and support. Good for packaging, flyers and retail displays.
- vCard
Lets a customer save your sales rep’s or support team’s name, phone number and email with one scan. Fits business cards, trade show booths and packaging inserts. See the vCard QR code generator.
- Image gallery
Show product photos, lookbooks or color options on one page. Useful for product tags and pop-up events where customers want to see more than the box shows.
Replace a printed leaflet with a PDF: user guide, specification sheet, installation steps, care instructions or warranty terms. Make sure the file opens fast on a phone before you print. See the PDF QR code generator.

Static or dynamic QR codes for products
A static code is enough when the link will never change, for example a manual that stays online for the life of the product. Static codes never expire.
A dynamic code is worth paying for when the destination changes: a new product version, a new campaign, a replaced manual, a moved web shop. With a dynamic code you change the destination in your Pageloot account and the printed code follows, so you do not reprint packaging. It also shows scan stats: when, where and on what device, so you can see which product line or placement gets scanned.
Dynamic codes need a plan. Start with the 14-day free trial and compare plans on the pricing page. Scans are unlimited, and plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee. After a monthly or yearly plan ends, dynamic codes go inactive, so keep the plan active for as long as the printed codes are in use.

Frequently asked questions
Choose the type, for example link, PDF or video. Paste the link or upload the file, add your logo and colors, and download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF. Test it with two phones before you print it on the product or packaging.
Link to something the customer needs after buying or while choosing: the product page, a user guide, a how-to video, warranty registration or a reorder page. Do not link to your home page. Send people to the one page that answers their question.
