Common Questions About QR Print Estimator
What is the best cardstock paper weight for acrylic sign holders?
100lb to 110lb Cover (270 to 300 GSM) smooth matte or linen cardstock is ideal. It slides smoothly into acrylic slots without sagging, bubbling, or wrinkling.
How big should the QR code be on a wedding table sign?
For a 5x7" table sign viewed from across a dining table (2 to 3 feet away), the QR code itself should be at least 1.5 to 2 inches (38 to 50 mm) square for instant camera focus.
How many QR signs do we need at the bar?
We recommend at least 2 signs per cocktail bar: place one at each end of the bar counter where guests wait for drinks.
Should we put QR signs in the restrooms?
Yes! Small 4x6" framed signs on restroom vanity counters are surprisingly effective because guests frequently check their phones and hair in the mirror between dances.
