QR Code Print Template Generator
Generate print-ready templates with multiple QR codes for efficient printing and distribution.
Create Professional QR Code Templates for Print
Printing multiple QR codes efficiently requires careful layout planning and formatting. Our print template generator streamlines this process, allowing you to create professionally designed QR code sheets for various applications including business cards, product labels, event tickets, promotional materials, and more.
Design Tip:
When creating QR code templates, it's important to balance code density (how many codes per page) with scanability. While fitting more codes on a page reduces printing costs, each code must remain large enough to be easily scanned by standard devices. Our tool helps you find this optimal balance.

Printing & Production Best Practices
After generating your QR code template, follow these best practices to ensure optimal printing results and scanability:
Printer Selection & Settings
- Resolution: Set your printer to at least 300 DPI for optimal QR code clarity
- Print Quality: Use "High" or "Best" quality settings, especially for smaller codes
- Scaling: Print at 100% scale/actual size to maintain proper dimensions
- Paper Type: Select the appropriate paper setting for your media type (label, cardstock, etc.)
Paper & Media Selection
- Paper Finish: Matte or semi-gloss finishes reduce glare and improve scanning
- Paper Weight: Use heavier stock (28lb+) for business cards and durable applications
- White Space: Ensure backgrounds are bright white for maximum contrast
- Special Media: For label sheets, verify dimensions match your template exactly
Testing & Quality Control
- Test Print: Always print a single test page before full production runs
- Scan Testing: Test multiple QR codes across the sheet with different devices
- Lighting Conditions: Test scanability in various lighting environments
- Distance Testing: Verify scanning works at intended scanning distances
Post-Production Handling
- Cutting: Use precise cutting tools for clean edges around QR codes
- Quiet Zone: Maintain white space margins when cutting individual codes
- Protection: Consider lamination for outdoor or frequently handled codes
- Storage: Keep printed sheets flat and away from moisture or extreme heat
Compatible Label Sheet Standards
Our template generator can be configured to match these common label sheet formats:
| Label Sheet Type | Layout | Label Size | Generator Settings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avery 5160/8160 | 3 × 10 | 1" × 2.63" | Rows: 10, Columns: 3, Size: 1.0", Spacing: 0.125" |
| Avery 5195/8195 | 4 × 5 | 1.5" × 1.5" | Rows: 5, Columns: 4, Size: 1.5", Spacing: 0.125" |
| Avery 5167/8167 | 4 × 20 | 0.5" × 1.75" | Rows: 20, Columns: 4, Size: 0.5", Spacing: 0.1" |
| Avery 5293/8293 | 6 × 10 | 0.75" × 0.75" | Rows: 10, Columns: 6, Size: 0.75", Spacing: 0.125" |
Remember that while our generator creates the digital template, the final printed result depends on your printer's capabilities and settings. Always perform test prints and scanning before committing to large production runs.
Frequently Asked Questions About QR Code Print Templates
How do I create a sheet of multiple QR codes for printing?
To create a sheet of multiple QR codes: 1) Enter the URL, text, or other content for your QR code, 2) Select the number of rows and columns needed for your template, 3) Adjust the QR code size and spacing to fit your printing needs, 4) Customize colors and margins if desired, 5) Generate and download your print-ready template as a PDF or PNG file. Our template generator handles the layout automatically to ensure consistent spacing and alignment. You can create different layouts based on your specific application needs, whether for business cards, labels, or other purposes.
What are the best printing settings for QR code templates?
For optimal QR code template printing: Use at least 300 DPI resolution, select 'Actual Size' or '100%' scale in your print settings (avoid 'Fit to Page'), use high-quality or standard print mode (not draft/economy), choose matte or semi-gloss paper rather than high-gloss for better scanning, and conduct a test print first to ensure proper scaling and scanability before full production runs. If printing to label sheets, make sure to disable any printer scaling features that might alter the template dimensions. For professional printing services, provide the PDF file rather than a raster format to maintain quality.
How many QR codes can I fit on one printed page?
The number of QR codes per page depends on the minimum scannable size and your specific needs. For standard business applications (URLs, contact details), you can typically fit: 1.0" QR codes: 20-30 per letter/A4 page (5×6 or 5×4 grid), 1.5" QR codes: 12-15 per page (4×3 or 5×3 grid), or 2.0" QR codes: 8-10 per page (3×3 or 2×4 grid). Complex QR codes with more data require larger sizes and thus fewer per page. Always consider the scanning distance and environment - retail applications may need larger codes than business cards that will be viewed up close.
Can I create QR code labels or stickers with this template tool?
Yes, our QR code template generator is perfect for creating labels and stickers. The tool allows you to specify exact dimensions to match standard label sheet sizes (such as Avery templates), adjust spacing between codes to match label spacing, create the proper number of rows and columns for your label sheet, and export in high-resolution formats suitable for both home and professional printing on adhesive sheets. For best results with label sheets, perform a test print on regular paper first and hold it up to the light against your label sheet to verify alignment before printing directly on the label stock.
How do I ensure all QR codes on my template are scannable?
To ensure all QR codes on your template are scannable: 1) Set an adequate size - each QR code should be at least 0.8" (2cm) for standard scanning distances, 2) Maintain sufficient quiet zones (white space) around each code, 3) Use high contrast colors (ideally black on white), 4) Ensure minimum 300 DPI resolution for printing, 5) Test scan the codes after printing with multiple devices, and 6) For bulk production, test a sample sheet before printing large quantities. Also consider the error correction level - higher levels (H or Q) allow for better scanning reliability even if the code becomes partially damaged or obscured during handling.
