QR code stickers
Stickers are the fastest way to add a QR code to something that already exists: a laptop, a machine, a shop counter, a product without a code on the pack. Ordering a roll of identical stickers is cheap, which makes dynamic codes the obvious choice: print one design and repoint it whenever you need.
The sticker material decides whether it lasts a week or five years. Pick the stock for where it will live.
What to link from QR codes on stickers
Retrofit existing products
Add a manual, support or reorder link to stock that was printed without a code.
Equipment and IT assets
Asset stickers that open service history, manuals or a fault form.
Counters and tables
Payment, menu or review stickers on counters, tables and doors.
Swag and events
Branded stickers that open your app, community or social profile.
Which QR code to use
Static codes are free and need no account, but can't be changed after printing. Dynamic codes and hosted pages can be edited at any time, count every scan, and keep working on every plan, even if you cancel.
One dynamic design for the whole roll
Print once, repoint the code whenever you need. Ideal for sticker runs where reprints are the expensive part.

For a dynamic short link such as https://qrdx.dev/q/aB3dE5f at error correction Q, without the blank margin. Static Wi-Fi, vCard or long URL codes hold more data and need to be larger. Check yours with the print size calculator and the scan checker.
Placement tips
- Use vinyl with a laminate outdoors or anywhere it gets wiped; paper stickers are for indoor, short-term use.
- Clear stickers need a white underprint behind the code, or the background shows through and kills contrast.
- Round stickers work, but keep the code square inside with a margin all round.
- Before sticking over an old code, make sure nothing else depends on it, and remove the old one.
