Create Your PosterAbout QR Code Posters
Posters are one of the most effective physical marketing formats, and adding a QR code makes them interactive. Instead of asking viewers to remember a URL or search for more information later, a QR code lets them take action immediately -- register for an event, visit a product page, watch a video, or download an app. The code turns a passive glance into an active engagement.
QR code posters are used by event organizers promoting conferences and concerts, retailers announcing sales, nonprofits raising awareness, schools posting event information, and businesses advertising services. They are placed in lobbies, hallways, storefronts, community boards, transit stations, and anywhere foot traffic is high.

Printing Tips
- For hallway display, print at 11 x 17 inches (tabloid). For maximum visibility, go up to 18 x 24 or 24 x 36 inches.
- Make the QR code at least 3 inches wide on posters so viewers can scan from a comfortable distance.
- Use a clear call-to-action near the code (e.g., "Scan to register" or "Scan for details") to increase scan rates.
- Mount behind glass or laminate for durability in public spaces and outdoor locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a QR code poster be?
Standard poster sizes are 11 x 17 inches (tabloid) or 18 x 24 inches. The QR code should be at least 3 inches wide on a poster so people can scan it from 5-10 feet away.
How big should the QR code be on a poster?
As a rule of thumb, the QR code should be scannable from the expected viewing distance. For hallway posters, 3-4 inches wide works well. For posters viewed from across a room, aim for 5-6 inches or larger.
