MAKE YOUR LABEL WORTH SCANNING

A small label. A useful connection.

A Hontra QR code gives someone a way to reach you at the moment they notice something.

Clear wording. Strong contrast. A safe place to scan.

THE CONTACT EXPERIENCE, EXPLAINED

Readable labels, useful placements.

Choose the right location

Place a luggage tag where a finder can see it. Put a vehicle label where it can be scanned safely. Display a property or business code beside a clear contact instruction.

Tell people why to scan

“Found this item? Contact the owner.”

“Need this car moved? Send a message.”

“Notice a problem here? Let us know.”

Clear wording makes the code useful before anyone opens it.

Make your label readable

Use strong contrast and leave clear space around the code. Avoid folds, glare and damaged surfaces. Test the printed label with a phone before relying on it.

Keep personal details off the print

The code leads to Hontra. You do not need to print your private phone number, home address or email beside it.

Use the right material

A paper label can suit an indoor item. Outdoor and frequently handled placements need material that remains readable through normal use.

Real-life example

A cyclist adds a code to a bike bag with a simple found-item message. A finder can start a conversation without searching for an owner’s number.

THE PHYSICAL LABEL MATTERS

Make the instruction as useful as the code.

A code is easier to understand when it has a reason beside it. Found this bag? Need the car moved? Notice a problem here? Keep the instruction short and specific to the item or location. You do not need to put a private address or phone number into that printed instruction.

Readability depends on the physical label. Keep strong contrast and clear space, avoid folds and glare, and use a material suitable for regular handling or outdoor placement. A readable print is more useful than an oversized decorative label.

Test it with a phone after attaching it. Consider where the person will stand and whether they can scan safely. Check handled labels occasionally for damage or wear.
