QR Code Labels
Midwest Label Supply specializes in providing high-quality serialized QR code label solutions for your next variable data printing project. Our dedicated team has developed a strong expertise in creating unique, serialized, and variable QR code labels tailored for specific ID applications. With nearly every smartphone equipped with a QR code reader, serialized QR codes offer a powerful way to link users to individualized web addresses or deep links within custom software applications. In addition to directing users to unique links, serialized QR codes allow companies to track user interactions, including who is scanning the code and where they are scanning from, thereby enhancing data collection and process digitalization.
At Midwest Label Supply, we have successfully printed serialized QR code stickers to optimize supply chains, enhance ERP systems, improve inventory control, support marketing efforts, manage data storage, and ensure regulatory compliance across various sectors, including labs, research, UDI, DI, and PI labeling. There are numerous ways to integrate serialized QR codes into ERP systems and customer interactions, offering companies new insights and capabilities. Whether you require serialized QR codes or individualized URL QR codes for interactive applications, we can provide precisely customized QR labels to meet your needs.
Variable QR Code Labels
Print custom variable QR code labels designed to fit your specific requirements. Midwest Label Supply accepts variable data (VDP) in formats such as Excel, CSV, or text files. We integrate variable QR codes into custom design files for your product, whether you need a single QR code label or multiple labels for different SKUs. Our pressure-sensitive label materials are versatile, suitable for both manual application and automated labeling systems.
QR Code Options
Bring your next QR code project to Midwest Label Supply, and we’ll help you prototype the ideal solution. For large-scale QR code applications, such as chain of custody systems, important considerations include QR code version (1-40) for determining size and appearance, QR code error correction for ensuring scanability even if the code is partially damaged, and QR code size, which depends on these factors. We also offer pre-printed, off-the-shelf pressure-sensitive QR labels for quick deployment, with the ability to link the series to data in your existing systems. Additional options include removable adhesive and weatherproof materials.
What is QR Code Serialization?
QR code serialization involves assigning a unique serial number or identifier to each label in a batch, enabling the unique identification and tracking of individual items. This process is crucial in a variety of applications. Midwest Label Supply can execute print runs of millions of serialized QR codes with each code pointing to a unique destination. Serialized QR codes are frequently used for batch or individual product tracking, connecting product events to ERP systems. Custom serialized QR labels can also be used in retail to track sales and returns, prevent fraud, and provide detailed product information to customers. Additionally, if you require non-serialized QR code stickers, we can accommodate that as well.
At Midwest Label Supply, we embrace automation whenever possible, including for QR code and data matrix serialization. Below, we provide an example of a simple script that serializes QR codes onto an Avery template. Feel free to try it out; the output is a PDF with serialized QR codes that you can use to create labels at home. For more complex serialized QR code projects, just reach out to us.
QR Code Deep Link
Variable QR code stickers can be used for deep linking into apps. Some serialization projects involve numbers or text that relate to asset tag IDs and connect to vendor CRMs or ERPs. Other serialized QR codes provide deep links that guide users to specific locations within your app, making it easier to deliver targeted user experiences for each specific use case.
Web URL Serialization
Serialization has traditionally been associated with numerical systems that count from one number to the next. However, in the digital age, serialized URLs are becoming increasingly popular for tracking data related to unique events and individualized products. Midwest Label Supply has developed software to help create serialized URLs for enhanced data tracking and process optimization.
QR Code Scan Tracking
QR codes are a versatile barcode type that can be scanned by any camera-equipped device, such as a smartphone. When used for track and trace purposes, QR codes are typically attached to items like packages or products, containing essential information about their origin, destination, and other relevant details. Scanning the serialized QR code with a QR code reader app retrieves this information, allowing real-time tracking of the item. Unique QR code stickers can also be placed on storage or inventory boxes to identify contents without opening them.
QR Code Label System
If you have a unique idea for a packaging or production logistics system that utilizes unique, serialized QR codes, Midwest Label Supply can help. We’ve developed an application called Thingaroo that specializes in complex serialized QR code production systems.
QR Code Apps
At Midwest Label Supply, our technical team is ready to assist with software applications that use variable QR code stickers. Whether you're working on a simple or complex project, we have the expertise to help.
ISO 15415 QR Codes
Midwest Label Supply prints ISO 15415 compliant QR codes. For larger projects, we can establish a digitally tracked quality control system to ensure that your QR codes are ISO compliant and regularly checked for quality.
