About & how it works
Small studio, careful codes
KitAndCode is a small studio run by Rene. Every QR code is made to order, checked by hand and scan-tested before you get the files.
Why KitAndCode
A QR code is often the first thing people touch
On a business card, a menu or a shop window, a code that matches your brand looks intentional, and people are more likely to scan something that looks like it belongs to you.
Free generators make generic codes, and some “dynamic” ones stop working when a subscription ends. KitAndCode codes are static: your link lives inside the pattern itself, so they keep working with no monthly fee.
The process
From order to print-ready files
01
Order on Etsy
Pick a code and paste the link it should open in the personalization box.
02
Send your logo
Through Etsy Messages. A transparent PNG is ideal, but JPG, SVG or PDF works too.
03
Approve your proof
You get a proof within 24–48 business hours. Ask for tweaks to color or logo size.
04
Download & print
Final PNG, SVG and PDF files arrive through Etsy, ready for any printer.
05
Scan check
Every code is tested with a phone and two QR decoders, at several sizes, before delivery.
Good to know
Static vs. dynamic codes
Static (what I make)
- The link is built into the code
- Never expires, unlimited scans
- No account, no subscription, no tracking
- The link can’t be changed after delivery
Dynamic (subscription services)
- The code points to a redirect service
- The link can be changed later
- Often needs a monthly plan
- May stop working if the plan ends
Want the best of both? Point a static code at a page you control, like your website’s menu page or a link-in-bio page, and update that page whenever you like.
Files
What the formats are for
PNG
300 dpi, high resolution. For social posts, websites, email signatures and quick prints.
SVG
Vector, so it scales to any size without blurring. For designers, sign makers and Cricut/Silhouette.
Vector and print-ready. Send it straight to a print shop or online printer.
Printing tips
- Keep the code at least about 2 cm (0.8 in.) wide.
- Keep the white margin around the code.
- Don’t put it on a dark or busy background.
- Test-print once at the real size and scan it before a big run.
