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
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.
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.
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.
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.
