Before publishing

Static QR fit, privacy, and measurement

Static works for a stable product page you control. Avoid direct links to files that may be replaced by new versions.

Avoid putting serial numbers, customer identifiers, or private support tokens directly in public QR URLs.

Use UTM links by SKU, insert, label, or retail channel when privacy-safe and supported by your analytics.

Regulated product, ingredient, safety, and warranty claims should be reviewed by the product owner.

Print or screen specs

  • Use contrast checker on final package colors.
  • Leave quiet zone despite tight label layouts.
  • Prefer SVG for packaging artwork.

Accessibility note

Do not rely on QR alone for required safety, ingredient, or compliance information.
