Custom QR code solutions built around your project
When an off-the-shelf QR code is not enough, we can design, create and print a complete bespoke solution using your data, numbering system, destinations and operational requirements.
- Unique codes at scale
- Data-driven production
- Specialist print options
What is a bespoke QR code solution?
A bespoke QR code solution is designed around a specific operational, technical or printing requirement. It may include thousands of unique QR codes, sequential numbering, customer-supplied data, dynamic destinations, scan limits, specialist materials or integration with an existing asset, product or database system. We can help define the solution, create the codes and manufacture the finished QR code labels.
Designed for jobs where every detail matters
Some projects need more than one QR code linked to one web address. You may need every label to be different, each code to correspond with an existing record, or human-readable information printed beside the QR code.
You may also need specific materials, adhesives, sizes, numbering formats, file structures or digital destinations. Our role is to bring those requirements together into a reliable production process.
- Unique or sequential QR codes
- Variable text, numbers and identifiers
- Static or redirectable dynamic destinations
- Specialist materials, adhesives and finishes
- Data checking and production verification
A QR code solution built from the right components
We combine your data and digital requirements with the correct printed label specification.
Unique QR codes
Produce batches containing hundreds or thousands of individually unique QR codes.
Sequential numbering
Generate QR codes and matching human-readable identifiers in a controlled numerical sequence.
Variable data
Merge changing URLs, asset numbers, product references, UUIDs or other supplied data into every label.
Dynamic QR codes
Create redirectable codes that can be managed and updated after the physical labels have been printed.
Scan-controlled codes
Build solutions with scan limits, controlled access or campaign-specific rules where required.
Specialist labels
Select suitable materials, laminates, adhesives, sizes and finishes for the intended environment.
From your source data to finished QR code labels
A controlled workflow helps protect data accuracy and ensures the printed codes correspond with the correct records.
-
01
Define
We establish what each code must contain, where it will lead and how the labels will be used.
-
02
Supply
Provide your URLs, identifiers or records in an agreed spreadsheet or structured data file.
-
03
Prepare
We clean and structure the data, generate the codes and prepare the variable artwork.
-
04
Check
The code structure, sequencing, artwork and sample output are checked before full production.
-
05
Print
We manufacture the complete batch using the agreed material, adhesive and finish.
-
06
Deliver
Your finished QR codes are supplied in the most practical format for distribution and deployment.
Choose the right type of QR code for the job
Bespoke production can use one code type or combine several capabilities in a single project.
Static QR codes
Suitable when the information or destination will remain fixed for the lifetime of the printed label.
- Direct destination
- No platform required
- Suitable for permanent links
Sequential QR codes
Each QR code contains or connects with a different number in a predetermined sequence.
- Asset identification
- Matching printed numbers
- Controlled sequence
Variable-data QR codes
Every code is generated from a different row of supplied data rather than a simple numerical sequence.
- Unique URLs or records
- Multiple changing fields
- Database-led production
Dynamic QR codes
The printed code remains the same while its destination and management settings can be controlled digitally.
- Redirect after printing
- Scan analytics available
- Individual-code management
Built for real operational requirements
Bespoke QR code projects are often used where each physical label must correspond accurately with a digital record, location, item or action.
Asset identification
Link equipment and assets with maintenance records, manuals, inspection forms or digital asset systems.
Products and packaging
Connect individual items or batches with instructions, traceability data, authentication or customer content.
Facilities and compliance
Give doors, rooms, safety equipment or building components their own accessible digital records.
Logistics and inventory
Identify containers, stock, storage locations or consignments using structured and readable codes.
Events and venues
Create individual access, information, feedback or location codes across a physical venue.
Controlled campaigns
Use time-sensitive, scan-limited or individually managed codes for promotions, surveys and distribution projects.

Tell us what you are trying to identify, connect, track or manage. We can help translate the operational requirement into a practical QR-code and printing specification.
Bespoke QR code solution questions
Can every QR code in a print run be different?
Yes. Variable-data printing allows every label in a production run to contain a different QR code, number, identifier, URL or combination of printed information.
Can you create QR codes from our spreadsheet?
Yes. We can use structured spreadsheet data to generate unique QR codes and matching printed information. We will agree the required columns and format before production.
Can you produce sequential QR codes?
Yes. We can create QR codes in a controlled sequence and print the corresponding human-readable number beside or beneath each code.
Can bespoke QR codes be dynamic and redirectable?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes can be managed through Xcan.it, allowing their destinations to be changed after the physical labels have been printed and deployed.
Can QR codes have a limited number of scans?
Controlled solutions can be developed where a code or campaign has specific scan rules. The exact requirement should be discussed before the codes are created.
Can you match QR codes with asset or product numbers?
Yes. A QR code can be generated from or associated with an existing asset, product, serial or database identifier, with readable information printed on the same label.
What materials can bespoke QR codes be printed on?
Options include paper, vinyl, polyester, polycarbonate, tamper-evident materials and specialist constructions. The correct material depends on the surface, environment and expected service life.
Can you help us design the complete QR code system?
Yes. You can bring us the operational requirement rather than a finished specification. We can help define the code structure, data workflow, label format and production process.
Need a QR code solution that does not exist off the shelf?
Tell us what the codes need to do, how many you require and where they will be used. We will help you build a practical, production-ready solution.
