QR Type Guide

How Should You Use Catalog QR Codes?

Choose static when the encoded information will never change. Choose dynamic when you need to edit the destination after printing, track scans, pause a campaign, or keep a stable short link while the destination changes.

Best For

Campaigns where the scanner expects a focused destination and you may need analytics, design control, or a destination you can update later.

Not Best For

Cases where another QR type is more specific, such as PDF for files, vCard for contact saving, WiFi for network access, or menu QR for restaurant menus.

Before Printing

Test the final QR at real size, confirm the quiet zone, and use the size calculator when the code will appear on signs, packaging, menus, cards, or other printed material.

Types

Digitize your entire product line. Save paper and shipping costs.

Transform Your Product Catalog Into a Digital Experience

In today's fast-paced business environment, instant access to product information is crucial for closing sales. Digital product catalog QR codes bridge the gap between physical products and digital information, giving your customers immediate access to specifications, pricing, and availability.

Whether you're a retailer wanting customers to browse your full collection, a manufacturer providing technical specifications to contractors, or a wholesaler sharing pricing with distributors, a catalog QR code puts your entire product range in your customer's pocket.

No more printing thousands of catalogs that become outdated within months. With dynamic catalog QR codes, you update once and every existing QR code instantly reflects the changes. It's the modern way to share your products with the world.

Always Up-to-Date

New products? Price changes? Update your catalog PDF and all existing QR codes automatically show the latest version. No reprinting required.

Track Engagement

Know which products generate interest. Track scan analytics to understand customer behavior, peak interest times, and geographic demand.
