QR code labels

Advantages of QR code labels

QR codes are machine-readable data sets that can be used to describe your product in greater detail. In practice, this makes them particularly suitable as an alternative to conventional barcodes. They save space and give you greater freedom in designing your labels.

However, QR codes have a wide range of applications. By integrating these codes into your labels, you can convey a wide range of content. The content can be freely determined by you. QR codes therefore also have a creative component.

Whether practical or creative, at labelletiquette.fr we know all about printing stickers with QR codes, and we’re happy to help you generate and implement them.

Print QR codes with labelletiquette.fr

If you’re not sure about the size, contrast or overall legibility of the code, we’ll be happy to help. Our professional artwork service includes, among other things, the creation of QR codes for you.

Thanks to digital printing, labelletiquette.fr not only produces high-quality QR code labels for you, but also offers you unbeatable flexibility. Thanks to the use of digital printing technologies, we can reproduce a different code on every label. All we need is an Excel list with the contents of each code. This makes each label personal and unique.

Personalization with QR codes

Thanks to their versatility, QR codes are ideal for personalizing your labels. To do this, we affix a special QR code to your labels, with personalized data. When customers scan this QR code, it takes them to a specific website, plays a video, provides further product information or performs a particular action.

Labels with QR codes open up additional possibilities for creative product design. Convey different contents and surprise your customers in innovative and individual ways!

Technical advice

QR codes can be printed in different sizes. What’s important is that they should be easy to read, so that they can be scanned without any problems. Although any size is theoretically possible, we recommend a minimum size of 10x10mm for the QR code alone.

There are no limits to your creativity when it comes to choosing a label material. However, we recommend that silver or transparent substrates be printed with an additional layer of opaque white to improve legibility.

If you want to play it safe, our artwork service also includes the creation of functional QR codes.

Lots of info in a small space

An undeniable advantage of QR codes is that they allow you to place a wealth of information in a small space. To do this on your own, use a QR code generator to integrate a link to your website into the code, for example. This allows your customers to find out more about you and your products at a glance, without having to print a lot of text on the label. All you have to do is integrate the generated QR code into your print file, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Wine labels

From early December 2023, QR code labels will become even more relevant and popular. With the coming into force of a new European regulation, wine producers, bottlers and distributors will be obliged to provide information on ingredients, energy values, possible allergens and nutritional values on the wine label. This information can be displayed either by means of a nutritional table on the label, or by means of an innovative electronic label, otherwise known as an e-label. These are labels equipped with a QR code. When customers scan these wine labels, they are directed to an online web page containing the corresponding product information.
