Question

Why isn't my QR code showing up correctly on my printed cards?

Answer

When a QR code does not come out right on printed cards, the design around it is usually the culprit rather than the code alone. Color choices and the background behind the code are the most common causes.

Try this before reordering:

  • Use a dark code on a light, solid background and avoid placing it over a busy image
  • Keep clear space around the code so nothing touches its edges
  • Save the design in your account so support can look at the exact file

Contact support with the details of which QR code you are using, and the team can review your design and troubleshoot the specific issue.
