QR code templates for logistics and fleets.

What to print

• 01

  Parcel and pallet labels

  A tracking code on the label shows the customer where the parcel is, without a call to the depot.

• 02

  Warehouse bins and racking

  A code on each bin links to its contents, its count history or its handling note.

• 03

  Driver cards and delivery notes

  A contact code on the driver's card and a rate-us code on the delivery note close the loop on every drop.

• 04

  Van doors

  A BOOK A JOB code on the side of a moving van, read from the next lane at the lights. Keep it large and plain.

Before you print

1. 01

   Print for the environment

   Cold, dust and scuffs wear a label. Use a durable stock, keep the code large and leave the full margin around it.

2. 02

   Large codes on vehicles

   A code on a van is scanned from a few metres away. Make it as big as the panel allows and avoid curves and rivets.

3. 03

   Do not put the whole record in the code

   A short link to a record is lighter to scan and can change. Pallet data is better kept on the page than in the code.

Questions

Should I use a barcode or a QR code on parcels?

Carriers read their own barcode; a QR code is for the customer. Use a QR code for the tracking page and keep the carrier label as it is.

Can one code serve every van?

Yes, but a separate dynamic code per van tells you which vehicles bring in jobs.

How large does a van code need to be?

As a rule, about a tenth of the distance it is read from. A code scanned from three metres wants about 30 cm of width.
