Start an email with one scan
An email QR code uses the standard mailto link. When scanned, it opens the phone’s email app with the recipient, subject line and even the message body ready — the person just taps Send. It’s an easy way to collect feedback, support requests, orders or sign-ups from printed material.
How to create an email QR code
- Enter the email address (add CC or BCC if needed).
- Write a subject such as “Feedback – Table 12” or “Order request”.
- Optionally pre-fill the message with prompts.
- Style the code and download it.
Ideas
- Restaurants and hotels: “Tell us how we did” cards.
- Products: warranty registration or support on the packaging.
- Events: “Email me the slides” on the last presentation slide.
- Real estate: “Send me details about this property” on a sign.
Tips
- Use a different subject for each place you print the code, so you know where emails come from.
- Keep the message short — long text makes the code dense.
- Test on both iPhone and Android before printing.

An email that’s ready to send
Scanning an email QR code opens the phone’s email app with the address, subject and message already filled in. The person only has to press send.
Good uses
- Support: “Scan to email us” on packaging, with the subject “Order help”.
- Feedback: on restaurant bills or hotel rooms.
- Job ads: a subject like “Application — Sales Assistant”.
- Events: “Register me” to collect sign-ups.
- Quotes: on flyers, with a body that asks for the customer’s requirements.
Tips
- Use a clear subject — it helps you sort replies and makes people more likely to send.
- Keep the message short; long text makes the code dense.
- Use a shared inbox (like info@ or support@) rather than a personal address.
- Test on a phone to check the subject and body appear correctly.
