Want to make it easy for customers to visit your website, find you on social media, or contact you directly? Adding a QR code to your product—like a business card, poster, or sticker—is a great way to do that!
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you add a QR code to your design:
- Open Vista Studio: We recommend creating your QR code directly in Vista Studio to make sure the resolution is high-quality.
- Click on "QR Codes" from the left-hand menu.
- Enter your full URL (website, contact page, etc.), then click "Add QR Code."
- Adjust your design: Once the QR code appears, resize and reposition it to fit your layout. Zoom in to check that it looks clear and sharp. You can also change the color if you like!
- Preview before you print: Use the VistaPrint preview tool to see how your design will look once printed.
- Test your QR code: Before uploading your design, scan the QR code using your smartphone to make sure it works and directs users to the correct page
Helpful Tips
- For items like flyers, postcards, business cards, or brochures, a 25x25 pixel QR code usually works well since they’re viewed up close.
- For business cards, we suggest placing the QR code on the back. This gives you more space and keeps the front clean and professional.
- Avoid placing the code near the edges of your design—it might get trimmed off during printing.
- If you already have a QR code, use a high-resolution file when uploading it. Please ensure it meets the minimum requirement of 300 DPI to get the best results.
- For best results, your QR code should be at least 31mm x 31mm (1.22 inches x 1.22 inches). Anything smaller may not scan properly.
With these tips, you'll have a clean, scannable QR code that helps customers connect with you quickly and easily!
