What is a QR Code Patch?

A QR code patch is a durable, small label made from materials such as PVC or rubber (washable patch) that displays a scannable QR code. It's stitched or caught on garments, tools, or uniforms. When scanned by a phone, it may open a website, file, release a video, or more.

Unlike printed playing cards, QR code patches are waterproof, washer-friendly, and continually equipped to scan.
