QR Codes on Print Catalogs

A print catalog is beautiful but static, while your inventory and prices move every week. QR codes bridge the gap, letting readers jump from a printed page straight to a live product page or order form. Generate them free in your browser, with nothing uploaded and no account.

Generate free QR codes for your catalog

Why put a QR code on catalogs?

Connects a fixed printed page to your always-current online product details.
Lets readers buy or check stock instantly instead of copying a code by hand.
Static codes never expire, so last season's catalog still works the day someone finds it.
Per-product codes can each point to their own page, video, or how-to.
Brand every code with consistent colors and shapes across the whole catalog.
Free and private: client-side generation means no signup and no uploads.

What to link your QR code to

Place a 'Shop this item' code next to each product to open its page directly.
Add a code that loads the full online catalog or current price list.
Link to a how-to or demo video for featured or complex products.
Encode an order form or quote-request page for wholesale buyers.
Point to a size guide, spec sheet, or care instructions.
Add a vCard code on the back cover so readers can save your sales contact.

Tips for QR codes on catalogs

Size codes so they fit cleanly beside each product without crowding the layout.
Keep a consistent code style and placement across pages so readers learn the pattern.
Use enough contrast against the page background and leave a clear quiet margin.
Export SVG for the print file so codes stay crisp at the printer's resolution.
Spot-check several codes with the Debug tool before sending the catalog to print.

Frequently asked questions

Can each product have its own QR code?

Yes. Generate a separate static code per item, each pointing to that product's page. Making many codes is free and takes only seconds each.

What if a product page URL changes after printing?

Static codes have a fixed destination, so it is best to keep the landing URL stable. If it must change, set up a redirect on your site so old catalogs still resolve.

Which export format is best for a printed catalog?

SVG. It is vector-based and stays sharp at any size and resolution, making it the best choice for professional print.
