Free QR code stickers

How it works

1. Paste your list. Copy rows from Excel or Google Sheets, with the heading row, or upload the file. Put the link or text in one column, such as Website or Product page.
2. Choose QR code and the column. Pick QR as the code type, then pick the column it comes from. Choose a sheet, such as Avery® 22806.
3. Test-scan, then print. Print one label, scan it with your phone, and check that the link opens. When it works, print the rest at the best quality your printer allows.

Sheets and code size

A QR code needs room. Pick a sheet where the code can be big enough to scan, and leave space around it:

As a rule of thumb, keep QR codes at least about ¾ inch (2 cm) wide. A smaller code can be hard for a phone to read. For the same reason, short links scan more easily than long ones.

What a QR code can hold

A QR code holds the text in its column. A web link opens in the phone's browser. A note such as "Wi-Fi: Home, password 1234" is shown as text, so it does not join a phone to a network by itself. Use QR codes for links, product pages and inventory IDs. If your system needs a number that a shop scanner reads, use barcode labels instead.

Common problems

• The code will not scan. Make the code bigger, keep a white margin, and print again at the best quality. A blurry printout is the usual cause.
• The link opens the wrong page. Check the column for typing mistakes and extra spaces. A single wrong letter sends the phone to the wrong place.
• The codes are not in the right spot. Print at 100%, turn off Fit to page, and test one sheet before you print the rest.

Ideas you can type

The AI helper changes every label at once. Try asking for:

• "Make a QR code from the Website column"
• "Put the product name above each code"
• "Make the labels where Stock is Low red"
• "Sort the labels by Shelf"
• "Add our logo in the top corner of each label, away from the code" (after you add your logo in the Design step)

Before you print

• Print sharp. Use a laser printer or your printer's best quality. Do not make the code smaller to fit.
• Leave a white margin. Keep clear space around each code, so the scanner can find the edges.
• Test-scan first. A code that looks right on the screen can still fail on paper.

Tips

• Use the same column for every label, and check that the links have no extra spaces.
• Keep one test sheet in a folder, so you can compare later prints.
• Print at 100% or Actual size, and turn off Fit to page, or the code may shrink.
• Check each link once before you print, so every code opens the right page.
