You can customize the layout, add cutout lines, and download your final file as a PDF or high-quality Word document.

Step 1: Choose Your QR Codes

Log in to your dashboard and navigate to the list of your QR codes. Use the checkboxes on the left side of each row to select the codes you want to print, then click Bulk Actions > Print QR Codes.

Step 3: Configure Sheet Layout

Before printing, you can perfect your layout using the Sheet Configuration panel. This allows you to tailor the output to your specific paper size and label requirements.

📐 Size & Spacing

  • Set custom Sheet Width and Height (cm)
  • Choose Layout (e.g., 4 rows × 3 columns)
  • Adjust QR Code size (up to 5.75 cm)
  • Define Page Margins

✂️ Alignment & Cutting

  • Align codes to Left, Center or Right
  • Show Cutout Lines (dashed lines for easy manual cutting)
  • Show Drag Handles for manual re-ordering

You can choose your preferred file format for downloading:

  • 📥 Download as PDF: Best for professional printers and high-resolution quality.
  • 📥 Download as Word: Great if you need to add extra text or images in Microsoft Word later.

Testing is Key

Printers can sometimes slightly shrink or shift content. After creating your PDF, print just one page first to test the scanability and physical size before printing the entire batch.

Printer Best Practices

What is the best resolution?

Always use the PDF export for printing. It preserves the vector quality of your QR codes, ensuring they are sharp even at small sizes.

How do cutout lines help?

If you are printing on standard (non-peel) paper, cutout lines give you exact dashed indicators for where to cut with scissors or a paper trimmer.
