QR codes have become a common sight over the past few years, appearing on food packaging, business cards, brochures and even billboards! Data shows the use of QR codes has increased from 35% of customers in September 2020, to 83% in April 2021. QR codes are an effective way to direct potential customers to sign up for newsletters, immediately see product specifications and go directly to exclusive offers.

Store windows, change room mirrors and glass dividing partitions offer ideal locations for QR codes, with proximity to potential customers with smart phones.

How do QR codes work?
A QR code consists of black squares and dots which represent different pieces of information. When scanned with a smart phone, the unique pattern translates into readable data, most commonly a website address.

Can QR codes be printed onto perforated window film?
Yes! QR codes and perforated window film are widely assumed to be incompatible due to the belief that the loss of detail from the holes will impact the efficacy of the QR codes. Using Contra Vision HD Perforated Window Films has changed this!

Why should I use Contra Vision HD for QR codes?

Contra Vision HD perforated window films feature a 60/40 perforating pattern with 1mm holes which are 60% smaller in area than traditional perforated window films. This unique micro-perforation will offer the clearest and sharpest printed images including small type and detailed logos, making it the ideal choice for QR codes.

  • By choosing HD over standard one-way vision, readable QR codes can be printed down to a size of 50mm x 50mm (2”x 2”) compared to 85mm x 85mm (3” x 3”) if using standard 60/40 perf. 
  • A QR code printed on Contra Vision HD white on black can also be read from further away (typically 15%), than the same code printed on standard definition 60/40 white on black perforated window film.

This opens up opportunities for design acceptable sized QR codes to be incorporated into one-way vision window advertising making Contra Vision HD perforated window films the optimal choice!!
