How to Design the Artwork for Scantrust Codes

• prepare the artwork as you normally would
• decide where on the packaging you would like place the QR-Code
  • IMPORTANT
    please ensure that the QR Code is easily accessible once the Packaging is filled/folded. QR Codes should be on a relatively flat surface without grease lines, folds, or bends. 
• create a white space of 12 x 12 mm where the QR code is supposed to go
  • NOTE
    the white space is a little larger than the Scantrust Code, to ensure that scanning apps can recognize that there is a QR Code
    
    
    Example of Artwork with WhiteSpace

• provide instructions to your printing partner to place the serialized Scantrust Codes should be horizontally and vertically centered into the white space
• commercial printers have the correct software to insert the serialized QR Codes into the white space during printing
