See How QR Codes Work on Banners
From trade shows and retail stores to outdoor events and conference stages, see how QR codes on banners connect people with offers, videos, forms, maps, and other online content.
Why Your Banner Needs a QR Code
A banner can get people's attention, but a QR code gives them a direct way to take the next step. Send them to a registration form, video, offer, map, website, or other online destination with a single scan. With a dynamic GetQR code, you can change the destination later without replacing banners that have already been printed or installed.
Give People a Direct Next Step
People may not want to type a long URL from a banner. A QR code gives them a direct way to register, view an offer, watch a video, visit your website, or get more information from their phone.
Update Content After the Banner Is Printed
Show dates change. Offers expire. New videos get approved. Update the destination from your GetQR dashboard, and the QR code printed on your existing banners can continue directing people to the new content.
Track QR Code Scan Activity
Review scan activity from your GetQR dashboard, including scan volume and timing. Use separate QR codes for different banners, locations, events, or creative versions when you want to compare their scan activity.
Support Both Indoor and Outdoor Deployments
Use QR codes on retractable banners, fabric displays, retail signage, event backdrops, and outdoor flags. Size the code for the expected viewing distance and use strong contrast for the lighting conditions where the banner will be displayed.

6 Practical Ways to Use QR Codes on Banners
Practical ways to connect banners with offers, forms, videos, maps, event information, and other online destinations.
Capture Leads at Events
Send attendees to a short form where they can request information, join your list, book a meeting, or ask for a follow-up after the event.
Offer Instant Discounts or Coupons
Link your banner to a mobile coupon, promotional page, or exclusive online offer that visitors can access from their phones.
Play Product or Brand Videos
Link to a product demo, brand video, customer story, or event highlight that visitors can watch directly on their phones.
Help People Find Your Booth or Location
Link the QR code to a map, booth number, location page, or directions so visitors can find your event space, store, or meeting point.
Share Event Schedules and Apps
Point the code to the full agenda, speaker list, or event app download so attendees stay informed.
Create Location-Specific QR Codes
Use separate QR codes for different cities, venues, stores, or events while keeping the overall banner design consistent.
Manage QR Codes Across Your Banner Campaigns
Create separate QR codes for different shows, booths, retail locations, or banner versions and manage them from your GetQR dashboard. Update destinations after printing without replacing the QR codes already on your banners.
Banner & Display QR Code Best Practices
Size for the Viewing Distance
Banners are often viewed from several feet away. Make the QR code large enough to scan comfortably from the distance at which people will normally view it. Test the printed code from the expected scanning distance before production.
Use Strong Contrast
Place the QR code on a clean, solid background whenever possible. Avoid busy photography, heavy textures, or gradients behind the code.
Keep the Quiet Zone Clear
Leave a clear margin around all four sides of the QR code. Keep text, logos, and other design elements away from this area so the code remains easy for phone cameras to recognize.
Prefer Vector Artwork
Provide SVG or EPS files when possible for large-format printing. Vector artwork can be scaled without becoming pixelated. A high-resolution PDF may also be suitable for many print workflows.
Test Under Real Conditions
Print a sample and scan it in lighting similar to the final environment, whether that's a bright expo hall, outdoor daylight, retail setting, or evening event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about using QR codes on banners and large displays.
Yes. Dynamic GetQR codes allow you to update the destination at any time. The printed code remains the same while new scans go to the updated page or form.
The right size depends on how far away people will be when they scan the banner. Make the QR code larger when it will be viewed from farther away, and leave enough clear space around it. Print and test a proof from the expected scanning distance before production.
Scanning performance depends on factors such as size, contrast, print quality, viewing distance, and lighting. Use strong contrast, keep the code unobstructed, and avoid glare or reflections over the QR code. Test the finished banner under the lighting conditions where it will be used.
Yes. Create separate QR codes for different cities, booths, events, locations, or banner versions and manage them from your GetQR dashboard. Each code can direct visitors to the appropriate online destination.
Place the QR code somewhere easy to see and close to a clear call to action, such as “Scan for Tickets,” “Scan for 20% Off,” or “Scan to Learn More.” Leave enough clear space around the code and consider the distance from which people will be scanning it.
Yes. You can use the same QR code across multiple banners when they should all lead to the same destination. If you want to compare scan activity between events, locations, or campaigns, use separate QR codes.
