The "Reprint Disaster" Scenario Every Marketer Fears

Imagine your brand orders 50,000 product packages, 500 restaurant table stands, or 10,000 event flyers featuring a free, static QR code.

Three months later:

  • The destination landing page changes or 404s.
  • The promotion ends and you want to route to a new offer.
  • A typo was found in the printed link.
