QR codes
QR frames and labels
Add a ‘Scan me’ frame to draw the eye.
ProBusiness
A frame wraps your QR with a call-to-action label — "SCAN ME", "MENU", or custom text. Frames materially increase scan rates because they tell people the dotted square is interactive.
When to use frames
- Storefront window decals — frame says "ORDER HERE"
- Table tents — frame says "TAP TO ORDER" or "SCAN MENU"
- Business cards — frame says "SAVE CONTACT"
- Flyers — frame says the call-to-action ("ENTER GIVEAWAY", "FREE SAMPLES")
Picking a frame
Step 1 — Open the QR designer
Pick or create a code. Open the Customize panel.
Step 2 — Toggle Frame on
Frame is hidden by default (cleaner without). Toggle it on, then pick from 4 styles:
- Banner — call-to-action below the QR with a colored bar
- Pill — rounded ribbon under the QR
- Ticket — torn-paper ticket style with rounded corners
- Modern — sans-serif minimalist
Step 3 — Customize
- Label text — what the frame says (default "SCAN ME")
- Label color — same color picker as the QR foreground
- Font — pick from 6 fonts (sans / serif / display / handwritten)
Step 4 — Test scan distance
Frames make the whole graphic bigger. If you're printing small, the QR portion stays the same size but the total real estate grows. Print a test at actual size before committing.
Use direct action verbs. "SCAN ME" is fine. "TAP HERE TO ORDER" is better. "FREE COFFEE!" is way better if free coffee is the actual offer. The label is your headline — treat it like one.
