FAQ

What size should badge QR codes be?+

Aim for 1"–1.25" on badges for reliable scanning at arm’s length. Test with multiple phones before printing in bulk.

How do we keep schedules updated?+

Use a single short URL behind the QR that you can update during the event so the printed code never changes.

Can sponsors use QR codes effectively?+

Yes—give sponsors space for “Scan for offer” links and track scans per placement (programs, signage, booth).
