Why should ecommerce sellers put QR codes on packaging?

Package inserts with QR codes convert one-time marketplace buyers into direct, repeat customers. You can direct shoppers to re-order discounts, digital instruction manuals, warranty registrations, or customer review pages.

What resolution do I need for printing on stickers and flyers?

For standard offset or thermal printing, select 800px or 1600px. At 1600px, the QR code outputs crisp 300 DPI clarity suitable for small 2 cm labels or large packaging boxes.

Does this QR code expire?

No. These are static, direct-destination QR codes. Because the URL is encoded directly into the pattern without third-party redirection servers, the QR code never expires and will function as long as your destination link exists.

Are my links or images sent to a server?

No. The QR matrix and image canvas are rendered 100% inside your web browser. No data is stored or tracked.
