QR Codes on T-Shirts People Can Actually Scan
A printed tee turns the wearer into a moving sign, and a QR code makes the message clickable.

A t-shirt is seen on a moving person from a short distance, so a QR code printed on it can turn curiosity into a scan at events, gigs or campaigns. Fabric flexes and stretches, so the code needs to sit on a flat panel like the chest or back, printed large with strong contrast so it reads while someone stands fairly still.
On t-shirts, 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
A walking, scannable sign
Staff or fans wearing the code spread your link wherever they go.
Best on flat panels
Printed on the chest or back, the code stays flat enough to scan reliably.
Ice-breaker at events
People are curious enough to scan a shirt at a gig, expo or street campaign.
Change the link, keep the shirt
Point to a link you control so the same tee can promote a new thing later.

Common questions
What size should a chest QR code be?
Roughly 10 cm wide scans from a metre or two; smaller prints force people to lean awkwardly close.
Which printing method survives washing best?
Screen print and embroidery hold their edges through repeated washes better than thin heat transfers.
