Packaging has no room and the label has less. A product info code moves the manual, the spec sheet, the ingredients and the how-to video off the box and onto the customer's phone.
Try something like https://example.com/
This code is static and permanent. To change where it points after printing, .
Create a QR code that opens full product details, manuals, spec sheets or how-to videos. Free to make, and trackable so you can see which SKUs get scanned.
Generate as many QR codes as you need without an account, a trial, or a credit card. Free codes carry a small linkutm wordmark in the bottom corner; create an account to replace it with your own logo or remove it entirely.
Every code is encoded and rendered locally in JavaScript. Wi-Fi passwords, contact details, and campaign URLs are never uploaded to a server or logged anywhere.
Twelve ready-made designs pairing eight module styles with shaped finder patterns, brand colours, and gradients. Export a code that looks like it belongs on your packaging, not like a default black square.
Download a 1200px PNG for digital, a vector SVG that scales to a billboard without a single soft edge, or a print-ready PDF. Copy straight to the clipboard when you just need it in a deck.
The scanner is holding the item. Dropping them on a homepage and asking them to search for it is the fastest way to waste a scan. Point the code at the specific product page, and make sure that page opens with the answer they most likely wanted — usually setup, care, or compatibility.
One column, large type, no pop-ups, no cookie wall covering the content, and the key information above the fold. A PDF manual is not a mobile page; if all you have is a PDF, at least link to it below a short HTML summary.
Separate codes cost nothing and give you per-product scan data. When you can see that one line generates four times the manual lookups of another, you have learned something about your instructions, your packaging, or the product itself.
Manuals get revised, ingredients get reformulated, and support pages move. A dynamic code lets you repoint every unit already sitting in warehouses and homes. On anything with a shelf life longer than a few months this is not optional.
The pattern is consistent across categories: how to set it up, how to look after it, what is in it, whether it fits what they already own, and how to get a replacement part. Lead with those. Marketing copy on the other end of a product code is the most common mistake in the category — the person already bought the thing, so selling to them is answering a question they did not ask while ignoring the one they did.
Digital product passports, extended ingredient and origin disclosure, and recycling instructions are all pushing more information onto packaging than packaging can physically hold. A code that resolves to a maintained page is the practical answer, and building it now means the infrastructure exists before a requirement forces it. Keep the mandated information on a stable URL and treat that page as a record rather than a campaign asset.
Someone scanning a box has already bought or is holding the product, so the data has none of the noise of top-of-funnel traffic. Scans clustered right after delivery mean unclear setup instructions. A spike months later means a maintenance question your documentation does not answer. Regional differences point at distribution or translation gaps. This is post-purchase research you would otherwise have to pay for.
Every code on this page is free to make and never expires. The linkutm platform adds the parts a printed code cannot do on its own — editing the destination, and counting the scans.
A dynamic QR code keeps the same printed pattern while you change where it points, and shows you every scan — when, where, and on what device.
Make a free QR code for a PDF. Host the file, paste its link, and download a PNG, SVG, or print-ready code for brochures, manuals, and price lists.
Create a QR code that plays your video on scan. Works with YouTube, Vimeo and hosted files. Free, no signup, ideal for demos, packaging and print ads.
One QR code that sends iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play. Track installs by campaign instead of losing them to direct traffic.
Create a QR code for discount coupons and offers. Scan to reveal a code or claim the deal. Free to generate, and trackable so you can measure redemption.
