How to use the Visitor Badge QR Generator
How this QR code works
This code stores the badge details as plain text: visitor, host, company, purpose, and expiry. Anyone at reception can scan it with an ordinary phone camera and see who the visitor is here to see and how long the badge lasts. Print the same details as readable text on the badge too, so it still works if the code is damaged.
Designing a badge that front desk can trust
A badge earns trust when the expiry is impossible to miss. Put the valid-until date in large type and the host name right under the visitor name, so reception can confirm the visit with one glance. For multi-day visits, issue a fresh badge each day rather than stretching one badge across the week.
Testing before you print
Print the badge at its real size, clip it to a lanyard, and scan it at the distance a receptionist stands from a visitor. Check the text stays readable after a day of wear, and confirm the expiry date prints exactly as entered.
