How small can a QR code be?

The smallest recommended size for a QR code depends on its complexity and scanning distance. Generally, a QR code should be at least 1 x 1 cm (0.4" x 0.4") for basic ones. However, for better readability, we recommend a size of 2 x 2 cm (0.8" x 0.8") or larger is ideal, especially if it contains more data.

QR codes are a fun and practical way to make your stickers interactive. Add them directly to your design or print them on the back paper to connect people with:

Websites and online stores
Social media profiles
Menus or product information
Event tickets or schedules
Spotify playlists or music releases
App downloads
WiFi login details
Portfolios and contact cards
Video content or behind-the-scenes material
Loyalty programs or discount codes

Printing QR codes on the back paper is a great option if you want to keep the front design clean while still adding extra functionality.

Test your code before print

We can not test QR codes before printing, so the best thing is to always make sure to scan and verify yours before placing an order.

For best results:

Use high contrast between the code and background
Avoid placing QR codes on heavily textured or reflective effects
Leave some empty space around the code
Test scan it on multiple devices before uploading your artwork

A quick test now can save a lot of frustration later.
