INFORMATION OF QR CODE

 

 

What is a QR Code?

• A QR Code, or quick response Code, is a Code that is quickly readable by a cell phone (hence the word “quick” in the name). 
• Using a combination of spacing as a type of Matrix Barcode (a 2-D Barcode), when a QR Code is scanned, it conveys a wide multitude of information. 
• QR Codes have a wide range of uses across all types of industries such as retail, marketing, and logistics.

QR Codes vs Barcodes

• While QR Codes and Barcodes are similar in practice, QR Codes contain more information because they have the ability to hold information both horizontally and vertically. 
• Barcodes only use horizontal information. 
• While Barcodes work wonderfully for situations like scanning supermarket items, QR Codes have a much higher capability of transferring information, likely what has made them increasingly popular due to their versatility.

TYPES OF QR CODES

1. QR CODE
2. BARCODE
3. MICRO QR CODE
4. IQR QR CODE
5.  FRAME QR
   

  

 MICRO QR CODE

• QR Codes found even further uses through the development of micro QR Codes, or Codes that small enough to fit on smaller items so they don’t take up space. 
• However, they do have the limitation that they hold less information than regular QR Codes. 

 

 

IQR QR CODE

• In contrast to the square shape of a typical QR Code, iQR Codes use a rectangular shape. iQR Codes can hold both smaller and larger data amounts than traditional and micro QR Codes due to this shape.

FRAME QR

Developed in 2014, FrameQR Codes were developed to allow for more creativity to the look of QR Codes. QR Code Generator offers a wide range of possibilities for this, including the color, shape, type, logo, and much more.
