Getting your code onto something real

Adding a Circulta code to a physical product is straightforward once you know a few basics. You'll receive files that work for both everyday printing and professional production, and the same permanent code can be used on anything from a card or mug to packaging, fabric or signage.

The main things to get right are simple: use the right file, give the code enough size and space, keep good contrast, place it somewhere easy to scan, and test one physical sample before ordering more.

Create once. Keep evolving.

Your Circulta code is designed to stay with the product. Once it has been printed, engraved or added to the surface, the code and its link remain the same.

Update the content, keep the code

You can change, replace or rearrange the content behind your Loop without creating a new QR code. The physical product stays exactly as it is while the experience behind it can continue to evolve.

Reuse the same production file

Keep the SVG file with your product artwork or production files. When you reorder the same product later, you can use the same code again. You can also download the QR files again from your Loop whenever you need them.

One permanent portal

Think of the code as a permanent doorway built into the product. What sits behind that doorway can change over time, while the printed connection stays in place.

That means you can produce once, update when needed and keep the product useful for much longer.

Getting your code onto something real

Your Circulta QR packWhen you activate a Loop, you get a PNG file, an SVG file and a permanent Circulta link. They all point to the same Loop, but each is useful in a different situation.

Size & ScanningQR codes need enough physical size for a phone camera to read them easily. The further away someone is expected to scan, the larger the code should be.

Space, Contrast & DesignA QR code needs a clear visual area around it and enough contrast to be read quickly. You can still make it part of the design, but the code itself should stay easy for a phone camera to recognise.

PlacementA good QR code placement does two things: it is easy to find, and it makes sense in the context of the product. Think about where people naturally look, hold or interact with the object.

Printing & MaterialsThe same Circulta code can work across many kinds of products, but the surface affects how easy it is to print and scan. The main things to watch are flatness, texture, contrast and finish.

Test ItA QR code that works on screen can behave differently once it is printed on a real product. A quick physical test and final production check can catch most issues before you order more.
