You can spot QR codes almost everywhere. QR codes helped many businesses keep afloat during the pandemic, but there’s so much more to these little black and white squares – the things they can do are virtually limitless.
Simply adding a QR code to your packaging can add not only pizzaz but also enhance your consumers’ experience. I bet you’re wondering ‘what actually is a QR code?’ It’s a bit like a bar code, but instead of scanning from a cash till you can just use your phone!
Here are five nifty ways to use QR codes to give your packaging design a tech-savvy twist:
- Social media synergy: Link your QR code directly to your social media channels. A quick scan can let them snap and share your fantastic products as well as follow you. It’s a win-win, boosting your brand and giving them a way to connect with your online platforms.
- Video magic: Do you have a fantastic collaboration to show or some informative video content? Use a QR code to share exclusive, brand-focused videos – it’s a lifesaver for helping customers understand your product.
- Handy PDFs: Say goodbye to instruction manuals and wasteful brochures. QR codes let you provide quick access to info customers need, right when they open their box.
- Reviews and news: Did you tweak your product recently or add a tempting sample? A review-based QR code on your packaging allows customers to give you valuable feedback right away or simply just takes customers to your website for up-to-date offers and news.
- Style it out: In e-commerce packaging, appearance is everything. QR codes can help you inspire customers with a gallery showing them how to get creative with your products.
