Fabric Printed QR codes.

[TeeDee]

Does anyone know if QR codes work if printed onto Fabric? T-shirt type material.
I have an idea for a sideline business.


My gut feeling is no but if you don't ask , you don't know.

Thanks.

It does, it even works for a weaver working it into his pattern
HumbleBumble did just that

Any idea how one could use a program/service provider such as Tee-Springs

Create with Spring, sell on social - Spring. For creators.

Create and sell products to your fans with Spring. Creators can monetize their content and earn their fair share. Plus, it’s free.

teespring.com

And have the linked QR code entered within the uploaded design.

I've never created a QR code before,

Me neither and Andy, HumbleBumble, hasn't been on the forum for a while, and the email address I have for him is bouncing.

You might ask Tee-Springs ? they'll at least have a fair idea of the detail they need.

I did a quick google for 'create QR code' and there are dozens of free and helpful sites.
Like this one...no recommendation, it's just a random link.

You want a QR code for a product page?

Simplest manual method is use Chrome, go to the page want to link, right click and select "Create QR code for this page"
It'll then display the QR code and give you a download link for the image.

Here's one to a random dog t shirt.

Thank you - I want to upload designs to Tee-Springs with a QR code within the design so that then when scanned links to a separate web page/app.

Many thanks.

So would need to know the link (URL) before you create the product page.

If using a third party site like Tee Spring which you cannot control/predict what the eventual product link would be, then would have to use a redirect.

Similar to how URL shortening services work. The short URL takes you to a page that redirects to a page with the full unshortened URL.

Actually it appears URL shortening service Bitly now offer QR code functionality. https://bitly.com/pages/features/qr-codes
