QR Codes That Keep Working After You Print

QR codes are everywhere for a reason: they make the jump from real life to online easy. If you run events, serve menus, hand out flyers, or use window posters, a good QR saves time and removes guesswork.

Why use QR codes now

People already know the motion: point phone, tap, done. That makes QR perfect for moments where typing a URL is annoying or impossible.

What Lynko QR can do today

  • Editable path - change the target without reprinting. Printed last week to your menu? Point it to the new menu today.
  • Scan tracking - see when each scan happens.
  • Language - we record the browser language to spot EN vs NL demand.
  • Device - phone, tablet, or desktop.
  • Browser - Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and more.
  • Operating system - iOS, Android, Windows, macOS.
  • Screen resolution - useful to check mobile friendliness.

Where it shines

  • Events - posters, badges, slides. Track scans by day and tweak signage between sessions.
  • Restaurants and cafes - menus you can update without new prints. See how many people scan your menu each day.
  • Gyms and studios - class schedules and trial offers that change weekly.
  • Retail - window cards for hours, stock info, or promos you can swap during a sale.
  • Pop-ups and markets - one QR on the table, new target per day.
  • Flyers and mailers - short campaigns with clear numbers to judge ROI.

How to set it up in Lynko

  • Create a new QR in your dashboard.
  • Set the target URL. You can change it later without touching the image.
  • Download the QR and place it in your design or print file.
  • Watch scans roll in with time, language, device, browser, OS, and screen data.

Quick print tips

  • Keep at least 2 cm on small prints. Bigger is better for posters.
  • High contrast: dark code on a light background.
  • Leave a quiet zone around the code so cameras lock fast.

Privacy and respect

We track what helps you improve the page and the print, not who a person is. Clear behavior, sensible defaults, and easy opt-outs matter to us.

Wrap-up

QR codes work best when you can update the target and see what is happening. Lynko gives you both. If you’re already in, make your first QR now. If you’re waiting for launch, subscribe and we’ll let you know when it’s open.
