Print it once. Change the link any time.

• A web page with the details. The event, the offer, the sign-up form or the booking page.
• Or a PDF. A brochure, a price list or a timetable, when the details fit on a page.
• A code for each flyer or place. Plans include unlimited codes, so give each print run or each street its own and compare their scans.

A typo in a printed address can’t be fixed with a pen, and offers end. With a dynamic code you fix the address or point it somewhere new in Your codes, and every copy already handed out or pinned up follows.

Changes

Change what it opens in Your codes. We check a new address or file first, usually within seconds, then every printed copy follows. You can undo a change.

Scans

Counted by day, device and city.

If you stop

Printed codes work to the end of what you paid for, and we email you 7 days before they would stop.

Short link

Never given to anyone else, so a printed code never leads to someone else’s page.

Smallest size

At least 1 inch wide in the style above. A logo or finer dots can make it bigger, so the designer and the download page work it out for your design.

Distance

People can scan a code from up to about 10 times its width away, so a flyer on a noticeboard read from 2 feet away needs a code at least 2.5 inches wide.

Contrast

Keep it dark on a light background. The designer blocks colors too light to scan in print, even when they look fine on screen, and light codes on dark backgrounds.

White margin

Every file comes with a white margin as wide as 4 of the code’s dots. Keep at least 2 of them clear: don’t crop into it or print over it.

Handed out

A flyer held in a hand is scanned up close, so the smallest size is usually enough.

Paper

Gloss can catch the light and hide the code. Matte paper is safer under bright lights.

Test print

Before you print a lot, print one copy at the real size and scan it with more than one phone, from as far away as people will be.
