How to Use QR Codes in Print Materials
Open a poster template or design a new layout in a word processor.
Insert the QR code image using Insert > Pictures or by copy-pasting it directly.
Adjust the size and placement as needed.
Print and distribute posters in visible areas, such as:
Pharmacy windows
Checkout counters
Prescription bags
Patient information handouts
For Instance: Some pharmacies attach QR code stickers to prescription bags during flu season to drive online bookings.
Tips for Effective Use
Tip: Test your QR code with a smartphone before printing to confirm it links correctly.
