Flyer & Poster QR Code — Bridge Print and Digital Instantly
A flyer or poster QR code connects a piece of print media to a live web destination — a landing page, event registration, video, or special offer — letting you measure and update what the print piece points to. Because flyers and posters are viewed at very different distances (a handout inches from the face versus a poster across a room), sizing the code correctly for its intended viewing distance is the single biggest factor in a successful scan rate.

How to make a flyer & poster
- 1
Decide the destination: a landing page, event page, video, or offer page.
- 2
Open Scanmint, select "URL," and paste the link.
- 3
Choose high-contrast colours — dark on light — for the most reliable scanning under variable lighting.
- 4
Generate and download the SVG, which scales cleanly from a handout flyer to a large-format poster without any loss of sharpness.
- 5
Add a short call-to-action next to the code ("Scan for details" or "Scan to save 10%") so people know why to scan.

Frequently asked questions
As a rule of thumb, the code should be at least 1/10th of the expected scanning distance. A poster viewed from 2 metres away needs a code at least 20 cm across.
Yes, with Scanmint's Pro logo overlay feature and a high error-correction level. This keeps the code scannable while reinforcing your brand.
QR codes include error correction that tolerates some damage or obstruction, but a torn corner covering the position markers (the three large squares in the corners) will likely break the scan. Keep the code area intact and unobstructed.
Yes, if you use a dynamic QR code — the printed code stays the same while you update the destination link for each new event or promotion.
