Printed links and QR codes during the relaunch: the forgotten construction site
Where printed links are located
- Business cards, letterhead, and invoices.
- Flyers, brochures, catalogs and posters.
- Packaging, labels and operating instructions.
- Vehicle labeling, shop windows and trade fair stands.
- Menus, table stands and posters.
The problem
Static QR codes contain the target address directly. If the address changes and there is no redirect, the code leads to nowhere – and a reprint is the only solution. For large print runs or packaging, this is expensive and time-consuming.
The solution: Separate goal and pressure
A dynamic QR code contains its own short address that redirects to your target. After the relaunch, you only change the target, while the printed code remains valid. Same-QR checks the targets of your codes every night and reports if a page is no longer accessible after the relaunch – with suggestions from your new website that you can adopt with one click.
Inventory before the relaunch
- Collect all printed materials and note the addresses contained in them.
- List static codes whose target changes – they require a server redirect.
- Use dynamic codes for new prints.
Frequently asked questions
