QR codes on product packaging you can re-point after the print run
Packaging is expensive to reprint, and a print run can sit in a warehouse for months. A dynamic QR code on the box lets you change what it opens — a launch campaign today, a how-to video next quarter, a re-order page after that — all without reprinting.
- Re-point the same printed code as your campaign changes
- Link to setup guides, manuals, or how-to videos
- Add product registration or authenticity checks
- Track scans per product or per batch
One code across a product's whole lifecycle
At launch the code can point to a promo; once the product ships it can open a setup guide; later it can drive re-orders or reviews. The artwork never changes, so you get years of use from a single print run.
Design tips for packaging codes
Keep the code at least 2 cm across, maintain quiet space around it, and test it on the final material — matte and curved surfaces scan differently than a flat screen. Because the code is dynamic, you can fix a wrong link even after the packaging is printed.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I change where a packaging QR code points after it's printed?
- Yes. A dynamic QR points to a link you control, so you can re-point it to a new page anytime — no reprint, even after the packaging is in stores.
- Can I track scans by product or batch?
- Use a separate dynamic code per SKU or batch and you'll see scan counts and locations for each, with a TNY account.
- What if I printed the wrong URL?
- As long as it's a dynamic QR, just edit the destination — the printed code starts pointing to the correct page immediately.
