📌 Why this matters

You can instantly bridge print and digital by embedding QR codes directly into your layouts, eliminating the need to juggle multiple applications or worry about image quality. Beyond basic linking, QR codes become powerful tracking tools when you generate unique codes for different print runs or campaigns.

This lets you measure which flyers, business cards, or magazine ads actually drive traffic to your website. Since the codes are vector-based within InDesign, they scale perfectly across any print size while maintaining scannability.
