MOSAQO GUIDE

Common QR Code Printing Mistakes | Mosaqo

The QR standard is rarely the root problem. More often, the code was resized after export, crowded by artwork, printed on glare or never tested with the final destination.

QUICK OVERVIEW

What this changes in practice

01

The QR code is too small

Size depends on distance, matrix density, camera and material. Print at real scale and test from the expected user position.

02

Contrast is too weak

Light modules, inverted colours, transparency and photography underneath the code reduce the scan margin.

03

The quiet zone is damaged

Keep at least four modules of empty space around the matrix. Text, borders and package edges must stay outside.

04

The file or material is wrong

A stretched PNG becomes soft and gloss introduces reflections. Use SVG or PDF and test the actual production method.

05

The destination is broken

The camera may read the matrix while the user sees an HTTP error, expired access, login or redirect loop. Test in a private mobile session.
