IDGlabs Solutions  added quick response (QR) code printing capabilities to its digital label and packaging portfolio.

Consumers have come to expect a level of connectivity and intimacy with brands that is being driven primarily by social media platforms. The QR code is the next iteration of this.

QR codes are already widely used in Japan; however, they are just starting to be used in the United States.

The 2D code has a URL imbedded, and when the code is scanned, using a SmartPhone or web cam, it launches dynamic content. Shoppers can then instantly view videos, sell sheets, extended content, newsletters, recipes, coupons or Facebook pages at the point of sale.
According to Analitycs Report, more than 42 percent of SmartPhone customers have used their phone to get product information in stores.

Value and practical application of 2-D codes…

In full disclosure I am passionate about these little square nuggets, but not for the reasons you may guess. I am not saying that QR codes are going to revolutionize the future. Rather they are the link to a future that is still just out of reach for the modern day consumer and vendor. QR codes are merely a step in the right direction to enhance mobilized communication – they are the VCR to link us to the DVD. I assure you they are not a beta player. If you can integrate QR codes into your current IT and communications strategy, there is a large potential return, at a minimal investment.

Here are some advantages of using QR codes:

• Free to create and use – open sourced technology
  Scans fast
  Compact with a high error tolerance
  Data can be ANYTHING
  Hard-linked codes can connect to variable data
  An intimate targeted experience (UX)
  Already widely used in Asia – thus a capacity for global integration
  Will encourage the adoption of mobile web content and design

Applications for business use:

• Print and web integration
  Extra information
  Networking
  Geo-centric kiosks or displays
  Fine art
  Storefronts and coupons
  Educational/exhibit design
  Direct downloads
  Computer screen to phone interactions
  Data transmission
