Print QR codes that last for years
A sticker in the meter cabinet has a tough life: heat, moisture, dust. Here's how to make a QR that stays scannable - with or without your own printer.

Three ways to print
Label printer
A Brother QL or Zebra label printer with a vinyl label roll. Print on demand per property, scratch-resistant right away.
- No trimming
- Waterproof vinyl
- Ideal for individual stickers
Laser + vinyl
A regular laser printer on self-adhesive A4 vinyl sheets. Waterproof and scratch-resistant without extra laminate.
- Several per sheet
- Cut to size yourself
- Low cost per sticker
Inkjet + laminate
Only have an inkjet? Print on vinyl and always laminate - inkjet ink bleeds when exposed to moisture.
- Always laminate
- Or a protective sleeve
- Never without a layer
Suitable printers at a glance
From professional to affordable - these are the models that make labels which can handle the meter cabinet.
NoteNot recommended for the meter cabinet: DYMO LabelWriter (paper, fades) and a regular inkjet without laminate - not resistant to moisture, heat and wear.

The four rules of a scannable sticker
Size 4 - 5 cm
At least 3 x 3 cm. Bigger scans faster, even in low light.
Quiet zone
Keep a white margin around the code - never print to the edge.
Matte, not glossy
Glossy material causes reflections and failed scans.
High contrast
A dark code on a white background. No colour on colour.
Test every sticker before you stick it
Scan every sticker once with your phone before sticking it down for good. That way you catch a smudge, wrong size or damage before handover - not after.
We'll print your QR stickers
Prefer to have ready-made, weatherproof stickers shipped to you per property? We'll take care of it - all you do is stick them on.
