QR Codes on Banners

Banners are big, bold, and meant to be seen from across a room or street. A well-sized QR code lets people engage from that distance, turning a backdrop into an interactive touchpoint. It's ideal for trade shows, storefronts, and events where you want passersby to connect on the spot.

Tips for QR codes on banners

Make the code large, since people scan banners from several steps back
Position it at a comfortable height, not near the floor or top edge
Keep a wide quiet zone so the code stands out from busy backgrounds
Use strong contrast and avoid placing it over photos or gradients
Export SVG for clean large-format printing and verify with the Debug tool

Frequently asked questions

How large should a QR code be on a banner?

Bigger than you'd expect. Scale it to the scanning distance, roughly a tenth of that distance wide, and keep a generous blank margin around it.

What's the best height to place the code on a roll-up banner?

Around waist to chest height works best so people can reach it comfortably with a phone. Avoid placing it too high or near the floor.

Can I reuse the same banner code for multiple events?

Yes. The code is static with no expiry or scan limit, so the same banner keeps working as long as the linked page stays live.
