How to Create a QR Code for Your Business

QR codes connect the physical and digital worlds. Here's how to make one that works, where to use it, and how to keep it scannable.

A QR code turns a link, phone number or Wi-Fi password into a square barcode anyone can scan with their phone camera. For small businesses they're a cheap, powerful bridge from print to digital.

Great places to use a QR code

On a menu, linking to an online ordering page.
On packaging or receipts, linking to reviews or a how-to video.
On a business card or flyer, linking to your website or vCard.
In a shop window, linking to your opening hours or booking page.

Keep it scannable

Use good contrast — dark code on a light background scans best.
Don't print it too small; aim for at least 2 × 2 cm.
Leave a quiet margin of empty space around the code.
Always test it with a couple of phones before printing.

A generated QR code encodes your link directly, so it never expires — print it with confidence.
