QR Codes for Logistics & Supply Chain

Package Tracking

Each parcel gets a unique QR code encoding its tracking number. Customers scan to see real-time delivery status. Drivers scan at each checkpoint to update location automatically.

Warehouse Management

Label warehouse locations with QR codes. Workers scan to verify they're placing items in the correct bin. Use our batch generator to create codes for thousands of locations.

Proof of Delivery

Delivery drivers scan the package QR code at drop-off, which timestamps the delivery and captures GPS coordinates. Disputes about missing deliveries drop dramatically.

Supply Chain Provenance

Track goods from factory to consumer with QR codes at each transfer point. End customers can scan to see the complete journey of their product — increasingly important for sustainability-conscious buyers.

Fleet Management

Attach QR codes to vehicles and equipment for maintenance logging. Drivers scan to report issues or confirm pre-trip inspections.

Best Practices

• Durable labels — Shipping QR codes must survive handling, weather, and adhesive wear — use thermal-printed waterproof labels
• Error correction — Use high (H) error correction for logistics codes — damaged labels still need to scan
• Standard size — Minimum 2.5cm for handheld scanner distance; 5cm+ for conveyor belt cameras
