Custom QR Code Printing on Heskins Tape

Bridging the Gap Between Physical and Digital

At Heskins, innovation means finding new ways to make our tapes work harder for our customers. One of our latest and most practical solutions is custom QR code printing - a simple yet powerful way to connect your physical workspace with digital resources.

Whether used on machinery, warehouse floors, or doorways, QR-coded tape provides instant access to essential information. By combining the durability of Heskins industrial tapes with the precision of our in-house printing systems, we can create clear, long-lasting QR codes that perform reliably in demanding environments.

Why Choose QR Codes on Tape?

Traditionally, QR codes are printed on paper labels or plastic signs, which can easily peel, fade, or tear in high-traffic or industrial areas. Printing directly onto tape transforms that experience.

Key advantages include:

• Exceptional Durability: Heskins tapes are resistant to abrasion, cleaning chemicals, and heavy foot traffic.
• Versatile Application: Perfect for surfaces where standard labels won’t hold, including curved machinery panels, floors, or textured surfaces.
• Dual Functionality: The tape continues to serve its original role - whether that’s marking walkways, glowing in the dark, or improving grip - while carrying a scannable digital gateway.

This dual-purpose design adds an entirely new level of efficiency to everyday safety and maintenance operations.

Precision Printing You Can Rely On

A QR code is only useful if it scans correctly - and that depends entirely on accuracy and contrast. Heskins uses advanced digital printing systems to reproduce even the most intricate QR code patterns with exceptional clarity.

This ensures consistent readability using standard smartphones or industrial scanners, even after exposure to cleaning or wear.

For specialist materials like our glow-in-the-dark or reflective tapes, we maintain strong visual contrast so codes remain visible and functional in both bright and low-light environments. If additional protection is needed, we can apply a clear protective overlaminate, ensuring the print stays intact despite regular handling or foot traffic.

Applications for QR-Coded Tape

QR-coded tape has proven valuable in many sectors, offering convenient, contactless access to essential information. Common uses include:

• Machinery: Link directly to manuals, maintenance logs, or safety procedures.
• Floors: Mark pallet zones or storage areas in warehouses to streamline inventory tracking.
• Doors and Entry Points: Connect to booking systems, cleaning schedules, or digital access control.
• Emergency Routes: On photoluminescent tape, QR codes remain visible during power failures, linking staff to evacuation maps or emergency contact data.
• Drones and Automation: QR-coded markers can serve as scanning or landing points for drone-based logistics and inspection systems, ensuring precise location tracking and delivery verification.

Each example demonstrates how QR-coded tape can integrate seamlessly into existing operational systems, enhancing both safety and productivity.
