When scanned, this opens WhatsApp directly with your number pre-filled, ready to send a message.

QR Code Best Practices

• Test before printing: Always scan your QR code with your phone before printing large quantities
• Minimum size: QR codes should be at least 2.5cm x 2.5cm when printed for reliable scanning
• Error correction: Use H (30%) if printing outdoors or in places where the QR might get partially damaged
• Contrast: Keep high contrast between QR color and background. Dark on light is most reliable.
• Add a label: Add text below the QR code saying what it does (e.g., "Scan to join Wi-Fi" or "Scan to call us")
