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 recommendations
- 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
