The QR code is the bridge between your bottle and your e-label page. Bottles stay in cellars and on shelves for years, so Vinum treats every QR code as a permanent packaging asset — not a temporary link.

Permanent URLs

Every published label lives at a permanent address:
  • The URL never changes for the life of the label — it’s designed to keep working for 10+ years, matching the shelf life of the bottles that carry it.
  • Published labels stay online even if you cancel your plan. A QR code printed on a bottle keeps resolving. That’s our permanence promise.
  • The page opens without any login or app — a phone camera is enough.

Built for the print shop

  • Print-ready SVG — the QR code downloads as a vector file, so it stays crisp at any size, from a back label to a poster. Hand it straight to your label designer or printer.
  • High error correction — codes are generated at the highest error-correction level, tolerating roughly 30% damage. A scuffed, wine-stained, or partially varnished code still scans.
  • Print at least 2 × 2 cm where the packaging allows
  • Use strong contrast between code and background (dark code on light ground scans best)
  • Leave a quiet margin of empty space around the code
  • Avoid placing the code over texture, foil, folds, or tightly curved edges
  • Test scans from arm’s length and in dim light — like a restaurant table
Do a small proof run and scan it with several different phones before committing to a full print run. Check again after varnish or lamination — surface treatments can affect contrast.

Wording next to the code

Use neutral wording beside the mandatory e-label QR code, for example:
  • “Ingredients and nutrition”
  • “Product information”
Keep promotional language away from the compliance code. If you also want a marketing QR code (shop, story, tastings), print it as a clearly separate code.

Preflight checklist

Before the artwork goes to print:
  • The QR code resolves to the published label (not a draft)
  • The page opens without login on iOS and Android cameras
  • The page is readable on a phone without zooming
  • The languages your target markets require are available
  • The physical label still carries everything that must stay on-pack
  • The printed code scans after all finishing treatments
