Making the Most of Your QR Code

Where to use your QR code

QR codes work anywhere customers have their phones handy. Top spots for cottage food and farmers market vendors: your booth table sign, business cards, shopping bags and packaging, Instagram bio link, and thank-you cards tucked into orders. Every touchpoint is a chance to drive repeat business.

QR code best practices

A few rules that make the difference between a scan and a miss: always test the code before printing, print at a minimum of 1 inch × 1 inch, include a short call-to-action above the code like "Order online — ready for pickup," and make sure the landing page loads fast on mobile.

Printing tips

Print QR codes in black on white — don't invert colors or print on dark backgrounds. Keep a quiet zone (white border) of at least 4 modules around the code. For bags and stickers, request a vector file from your printer since PNG files can pixelate at large sizes. Always do a test print before your full order.

Tracking scans

Want to know how effective your QR codes are? Create a free Bitly or Rebrandly link that points to your store URL, then generate a QR code for the short link. You'll see scan counts, device types, and geography in their dashboards. Pair this with Homegrown's built-in page view analytics for a complete picture.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes — completely free, no account required, and no watermarks. Generate as many QR codes as you need and download them as print-ready PNG files.
What size QR code should I use for a table sign?
For a table sign, use at least 1.5 inches × 1.5 inches when printed. The 256px download is designed for table signs at standard print resolutions. If your sign will be larger than a sheet of paper, use the Flyer size (400px) for better quality.
Can I put a QR code on my business card?
Yes. Use the Business Card size (128px) download. QR codes on business cards should be at least 0.75 inches × 0.75 inches to scan reliably. Test your printed card before ordering in bulk — hold a phone 6–8 inches away and verify it opens your store link.
What link should I use in my QR code?
Use your Homegrown store link (findhomegrown.com/vendors/your-store-name). This sends customers directly to your storefront where they can browse products and place orders. Avoid using a generic homepage link — send customers directly where you want them to buy.
Can I track how many people scan my QR code?
Basic QR codes don't have built-in analytics, but you can add tracking by using a URL shortener with analytics (like bit.ly) before pasting it into this generator. Alternatively, Homegrown's built-in analytics show how many customers visited your store page.
