[#]QRcode #LaserPrinter #Labels #code

A question has arisen at work. I’m working on a bespoke app (react) that generates QR codes for conference attendee name labels. The QR encodes conference programme URL and attendees ID (as a parameter) in a single URL. We print the labels on Avery label sheets using a laser printer. In a test run most of the labels scan okay, but some don’t. I’m thinking our URL is to too long, so I’m looking at a URL short link for the conference programme to reduce the size of the overall URL, and some other tweaks.

Anyone have experience printing QR labels onto Avery-type label sheets? In particular how many characters can you encode into a given size QR, before the fidelity/error correction on an off-the-shelf laser printer label isn’t good enough?
