How to choose the best 2D barcode for the job
Which 2D barcode is right for you?
When deciding which
type of 2D barcode will give your mobile campaign the greatest chance of
being accessed and experienced, always consider factors like the size of the code, the code's density and the type of medium (substrate) the code will be printed on.
PRINT2D offers six distinct 2D barcode formats, including brands as
mobile triggers, because each format has its' own benefits. To learn
more, please see our 2D Barcode Format Reference Chart at the bottom of this page.
