Make every can a little gateway
A can is held, turned and read up close. A QR code on it links to recipes, promotions or recycling in one scan.

A can has a curved metal surface and limited flat space, so a QR code must be sized and positioned to scan despite the curve and any shine from the print. Customers hold cans close and turn them while reading, which makes a well-placed code easy to catch. It is a natural spot to link to mixing ideas, ingredient sourcing, recycling info or a promotion that rewards a scan.
On cans, keep the code static, high contrast and linked to a stable destination. It will keep scanning without expiry and without scan tracking from us.
Why it works
Reads on a curved surface
Sized right and placed on the flatter zone, a code scans cleanly despite the can’s curve.
Held close while read
People turn a can in their hand, so the code is naturally at easy scanning distance.
Room for more than a label
Link to recipes, ingredient stories or serving ideas that a small can panel cannot hold.
Rewards a quick scan
Point to a promotion, prize draw or loyalty offer that turns a sip into a sign-up.

Common questions
Will this QR code expire?
No. The static QR code you create here does not expire. It keeps working as long as the website, file, contact details or other destination still exists.
