QR code labels are becoming increasingly valuable across both consumer and industrial sectors. From improving workplace safety communication to streamlining equipment management, QR codes offer an efficient, cost-effective way to connect people directly to digital resources — all with a simple scan.

According to a 2024 report by Statista, over 89% of smartphone users have scanned a QR code at least once, and nearly 60% do so monthly for business or product-related purposes. This rise in smartphone adoption has made QR code labels one of the most accessible tools for conveying safety, instructional, and operational messages in real time.

A QR code label is a printed graphic that stores digital data in a scannable, square-shaped format. When scanned using a smartphone or tablet camera, it directs users to a predefined destination — such as a webpage, manual, video, document, or contact form.

• Improved compliance by linking directly to digital safety instructions or manuals
• Increased efficiency for asset tracking, maintenance records, and work instructions
• Customizable for any application: product labeling, facility signage, ID tags, equipment maintenance, and more
• Instant access to information using smartphones (no special barcode scanners required)

Whether you're managing a fleet of machines, communicating equipment hazards, or simply looking to modernize your labeling strategy, QR code labels are a proven solution.

QR codes are especially effective in industrial safety labeling. By integrating QR codes into ANSI- or ISO-style warning labels, you can link operators and employees to:

• Machine-specific operating instructions
• Lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures
• Safety data sheets (SDS)
• Inspection records
• Emergency procedures
• Regulatory documentation

This not only enhances on-site safety but also helps support compliance with OSHA and ANSI Z535 standards, helping reduce liability and ensure workers have the information they need at their fingertips.

We make it easy to create custom QR code labels tailored to your needs — whether for product safety, workplace instructions, or asset management. Our intuitive online QR code label tool guides you through the process in just a few steps.
