What is an engraved QR code – and why choose engraving over printing?
Unlike printed or sticker QR codes, an engraved QR code is:
- Permanent – no fading or peeling over time
- Vandal-resistant – built to last in public spaces
- Aesthetic – seamlessly integrated into your sign or plate
- Fully scannable – sharp contrast and precision lines
At Mauquoy, we use laser engraving, deep engraving, or chemical etching, depending on the material and your application.
