QR code templates for Christmas.

What to print

• 01

  Market stalls and signs

• 02

  Gift tags

  A code on the tag opens a message, a photo or a video that the giver recorded.

• 03

  Restaurant menus

  A festive menu behind a code on the table, with a booking link for the groups.

Before you print

1. 01

   Order cards early

   Printers get busy from November. Order cards early, and scan a printed test before the run.

2. 02

   Mind foil and glitter

   Shiny finishes scatter light and make a code unreadable. Keep the code on a matte area.

3. 03

   Switch to a thank-you page

   A dynamic code can change to a thank-you and a January offer after the holiday.

Questions

Can a gift tag open a personal video?

Yes. Point the code at a page or video you host. The code can be static if the link never changes.

Does the code scan on a shiny gift tag?

It does if the code sits on a matte area with strong contrast. Test the finished tag on a few phones.

Can the market code show the stall location?

A location code opens the map on the phone, and a link page can add the opening hours and range.
