QR Code to send an email

Whoever scans finds their mail client already open with recipient, subject and message filled in: all that is left is to hit send.

Enter up to three colours, for example your brand’s. Each proposal places them on modules, markers, background and frame, and always clears the contrast a scanner needs.

How it works

An email QR code holds an email address and, if you like, a subject and message already written. Whoever scans it sees their mail app open with the new message filled in: all that is left is to press send. The content sits inside the code, so it is static and works without an account or expiry.

The phone uses whichever mail app is set as default. If there is none, it still shows the address to copy.

When to use it

It is useful when you want requests to arrive already sorted: a subject such as “Quote request” or “Application” tells you which material the message came from before you even read it. Catalogues, business cards, trade-show signs and product sheets are the typical places.

It works inside a company too: a sign reading “Report a fault” with the department pre-filled collects reports without anyone hunting for a form.

Before you print

Keep the pre-filled message short: the recipient should be able to finish it in seconds, and every extra word makes the code denser. A subject and the first lines are enough.

Check the address letter by letter and test the code with your own phone: a bouncing email cannot be fixed after printing. If you expect to change mailbox over time, use a QR with a link to a contact page, which is editable.

Frequently asked questions

Does this QR code work without an internet connection?
Yes. The information sits inside the code itself, so the phone reads it offline. The trade-off is that the content cannot be changed once printed.
Do QR codes expire or stop working?
No, the codes you generate never expire. If the owner deactivates a dynamic QR code, anyone scanning it sees a notice page instead of the destination.
