QR Code Stickers
You supply the artwork with the code already in it, and we print it as a die-cut sticker at the size you choose. Below is what actually makes a printed code scan reliably, which is mostly about size, margin and contrast.
Minimum order: 10 stickers or $10.
What we do, and what we do not do
You supply the finished artwork with the code already in it. We print it exactly as supplied.
We do not generate codes, host or shorten links, point a code somewhere new after it is printed, or report scans. There is nothing on our side sitting between the sticker and your link.
A printed code is permanent. If the page behind it moves or the link stops working, the stickers stop working too, so point it at an address you control and intend to keep.

Four things that decide whether a printed code reads
- Size. Bigger squares are easier for a camera to resolve. A long link packs in more squares, so it needs a larger sticker than a short one does.
- Quiet margin. A code needs clear space around it, roughly the width of four of its own small squares. Artwork crowding that margin is the most common reason a printed code fails.
- Contrast. Dark code on a light background. Light-on-dark and low-contrast color pairs both give the camera less to work with, and a gradient behind the code gives it less still.
- A plain background. No photo, no pattern and no texture under the code, and nothing overlapping it. Put your logo and your wording beside the code, outside the margin.
Set the code in your design at the size you intend to print, then view the design on screen at that physical size and scan it with two different phones. A code that will not read off a bright screen at the right size is not going to read better on vinyl.
Send vector artwork if your generator offers it. An SVG or a vector PDF keeps the edge of every square crisp at any size, where a small PNG scaled up gives the camera and the cut line a soft edge to deal with.
Keep the code away from the outside edge of the sticker. The cut line follows your outline, and a code that runs right up to it loses its quiet margin if the print and the cut land a hair out of register.

Questions
QR code sticker questions
No. You supply finished artwork with the code already in it, and we print that artwork. Any QR generator will export one for you as a PNG or an SVG, and the SVG is the better file to send us because it stays sharp at any size.
Once you have it, drop it into your design at the size you want printed, leave a clear margin around it, and upload the whole thing as one file.
Not by us. Whatever is encoded in the artwork is what is printed, permanently, and we have nothing on our side sitting between the sticker and your link.
So point the code at an address you control and intend to keep. If the page behind it moves or the link stops working, the stickers stop working with it.
No. We print stickers. There is nothing in the chain on our side that could count a scan, and we do not offer scan reporting of any kind.
If you need to know, that is something your own link or your own site has to measure, and you would want it set up before you print.
Artwork review looks at your file the same way it looks at any other: resolution, size, contrast and whether the detail holds up at the size you chose. If the code looks too small or too tight in contrast for that size, we will tell you.
That is a comment on the file, not a promise about any particular phone or camera. Scan the artwork off your own screen with a couple of different phones before you upload it, and it is the simplest test there is.
Start at two inches and only go smaller if you have tested it. A code holding a short web address has fewer and larger squares and tolerates a smaller print; a long link packs in more squares, each one gets smaller, and the print has less room for error.
Also think about how far away the phone will be. A code on a table tent is read from a foot away. A code on a window read from the sidewalk needs to be much larger.
Production timing begins after your artwork is reviewed and confirmed print-ready. We'll keep you updated as your order moves through production.
If these are for a specific event, put the date in the order notes and we will tell you whether it is workable before anything prints. Pickup in Huntington takes the carrier out of the timeline.
