Email QR Code

Open a pre-filled email in one scan.

An email QR code opens the user's default mail app with the To, Subject, and Body fields pre-filled — making it easy for customers to contact you, submit enquiries, or send feedback without typing a single character.

What is a Email QR Code?

An email QR code encodes a mailto URI that opens the user's default mail client with the recipient address, subject line, and body text pre-populated. This removes the friction of typing an email address from a sign or packaging, making it ideal for enquiry forms, feedback requests, and customer support entry points.

Best practices for email qr codes

1

Pre-fill the subject line with context

A subject like 'Enquiry from [product name] packaging' tells your team immediately where the email came from. This makes triage faster and helps you measure which physical touchpoints generate the most enquiries.

2

Keep the body text short and guiding

Pre-fill a one-line prompt like 'I'm interested in...' or 'I need help with...' to guide the customer. A completely blank body increases drop-off because users don't know what to write.

3

Test on both iOS Mail and Gmail

iOS users typically open Apple Mail; Android users typically use Gmail. Both support the mailto URI standard, but test your QR code on both to ensure the pre-fill renders correctly.

4

Consider a web form as an alternative for high-volume use cases

Email QR codes require the user to have a mail app configured. For packaging on consumer products with mass distribution, a URL QR code pointing to a web contact form is more universally accessible.
