QR codes for events.
Posters go up weeks before the day. With a dynamic code they can sell tickets now, show the schedule during the event, and share the photos after it.
Paste your ticket or event link, then download the code for your poster.
How it works.
- 01
Pick the first destination
Usually the ticket page or the sign-up form. You can change it as the event gets closer.
- 02
Make the code and print
Download SVG or PDF for posters, flyers, banners, wristbands and badges.
- 03
Re-point it as things change
Tickets sold out? Send scans to the waiting list. Doors open? Switch to the schedule or the venue map.
Free code or dynamic code?
A free static code is enough when
the link will not change before the event ends, such as a page on your own site that you update yourself.
Free. No sign-up.
Go dynamic when
the print has to be ordered before the details are final, or when one code has several jobs over time. You also get scan counts by day, so you can see which poster run or which week of promotion worked.
Either way, the code does not expire. A dynamic code keeps redirecting on every plan, including after you downgrade or cancel. The one exception is a code disabled for phishing, malware or other abuse.
Posters, banners and badges.
- Size for the distance
- Rule of thumb: code width is about one tenth of the scanning distance. A poster read from 1 m needs a code about 10 cm wide; a stage banner needs far more.
- Use separate codes to compare
- Give posters, flyers and social posts their own dynamic codes pointing to the same page. The scan counts show which channel brought people in.
- Plan for a crowd
- Venue signal is often poor. Point codes at light pages, not large files, and print the key information as text too.
- Say what the scan does
- "Scan for tickets" beats a bare code. Change the line of text if you reprint, and re-point the code if you do not.
- Test on the real print
- Fabric banners, curved wristbands and textured paper can distort a code. Scan a sample before the full order.
