Custom QR Code Tag Printing
- QR tagging for brand ready to move beyond traditional product tags
- Ideal for retail, packaging, events, and customer engagement
- Fully personalised QR code tags with premium finishes and fast turnaround
QR tagging is a popular choice for businesses that want their product tags to do more than simply display information. A QR code tag connects your physical product to digital content, giving customers quick access to websites, product details, videos, care instructions, or promotions with a simple scan. For brands looking to replace their classic tag range with something interactive, QR code tags offer a modern and flexible alternative.
Our custom QR tag printing service helps you create tags that feel purposeful, on-brand, and easy to use. Whether applied to retail products, packaging, or promotional materials, QR tagging allows you to share more information without cluttering the tag itself. Every QR code tag we produce is fully personalised, with full control over size, shape, paper stock, and finishes.
Modern QR Tag Solutions for Forward-Thinking Brands
Switching to QR tagging makes sense for businesses that want to communicate more while keeping their presentation clean and minimal. Instead of squeezing content onto a small tag, a QR code tag directs customers straight to rich digital content such as product specifications, sustainability details, brand stories, or exclusive offers.
Ordering your custom QR tag is quick and straightforward. Using our online tag printing calculator, you can select your preferred size, perfect paper type, drill hole placement, and finishing touches, then receive instant pricing. You simply supply the QR code itself, and we take care of the printing. You bring the QR code and we’ll bring the tags!
All of the personalisation options available across our tag range apply to QR tags as well. Choose from eco-friendly, recycled, or compostable paper stocks, as well as luxury papers and premium coloured cardstocks. Tags can be printed single or double-sided, with the option to increase thickness or add painted edges for a more premium feel. Drill holes can be positioned exactly where needed, and QR tags can be supplied with string, either loose or fully applied so they’re ready to use straight out of the box.

Best Paper Types for QR Code Product Tags
QR code tags rely on crisp print quality and strong contrast to ensure reliable scanning across mobile devices, making paper choice more important than many brands realise. Smooth coated stocks can help maintain sharp detail for smaller codes, while heavier materials improve durability for retail and packaging applications.
Our guide to print finishes and paper stocks explores how different coated, uncoated, and textured materials affect clarity, durability, and print sharpness. Understanding which stocks work best for detailed artwork and QR codes can help create tags that are both functional and visually professional.

The Order Process
Place your order online using our instant price calculator, which updates your total in real time.
Reply to your Order Confirmation email by sending us your artwork or design brief.
Our design team reviews your artwork, discusses any issues with you, and sends a proof for your approval.
After approval, your prints are produced and shipped straight to you within just a few days.
Let our Design Team Work their Magic
We understand not everyone is a professional designer. You may not know your RGB from your CMYK or your bleed from your trap. That's why we have our in-house team on hand to craft the design of your dreams. All designs are individually created by our talented bunch. Yes, that's right, real people!
Do You Generate the QR Code for Me?
No - you’ll need to supply your own QR code as part of your artwork or design brief and our team will print it exactly as provided. Think of it as: you bring the QR code, we’ll bring the tags.
Will the QR Code Scan Once it’s Printed?
Yes, as long as the QR code artwork you supply is high resolution and set up correctly. We recommend testing your QR code before sending it over, and again once you receive your tags. We print QR tag designs clearly and accurately, but the code itself needs to be properly generated at your end to scan reliably.
What Size Should my QR Tag be For Easy Scanning?
That depends on how it’s being used. If your QR tag is going on clothing or product packaging, it needs to be large enough for phone cameras to scan without zooming in. If it’s for event passes or displays, you may want to scale up slightly.
Can I Have Different QR Code Tags on the Same Order?
Yes! If you need different products to link to different product or information pages, you can include multiple QR code designs within a single order. This works well for brands running seasonal campaigns or events where each QR tag leads somewhere different.
What’s the Best Material for QR Code Tags?
If your QR tags are going to be handled frequently or exposed to the elements, Nevertear is usually the go-to. It’s waterproof, tear-resistant, and holds up well in tough environments. If the tags are staying indoors or being used short-term, our entire paper catalogue is on the table.
Can QR Tags be Used for More Than Just Websites?
Definitely. QR code tags are often used to link to product care instructions, digital manuals, event check-ins, loyalty programs, video content, menus, or even social media profiles. If you’re trying to move information online without cluttering your packaging, a QR tag keeps things clean while still giving customers access to more detail.
Are QR Tags Suitable for Retail Products?
Yes, especially if you want to reduce printed information on the tag itself. Many brands use QR code tags to link to extended product information, styling guides, or sustainability details. It keeps the tag simple while still offering depth for customers who want it.
Can I Combine Branding with the QR Code?
Of Course! Most QR tags include a logo, brand colours, or a small amount of supporting text alongside the code. Just make sure there’s enough clear space around the QR code so it remains unobstructed and easy to scan.
