A jar lid has room for a name and a price. It does not have room for a full ingredient list, the fourteen allergens, a nutrition table, storage instructions and your business address. An ingredients QR code puts all of it one scan away, and lets you correct it without reprinting a single label.
Build your ingredients page
Fill it in, and it is live the moment you save.
- Build it below, no account needed
- Edit it after the label is printed
- Opens instantly on any phone camera
- 1 Build your ingredients and allergens page Fill in the form below and we host the page for you. There is no website to build and nothing to install.
- 2 Style your QR code Your colours, module and corner shapes, your logo in the middle and a scan me frame if you want one.
- 3 Download it or embed it Print-ready PNG and true vector SVG for your printer, or drop the code straight into your own artwork.
- 4 Change it whenever things change Reformulate, move supplier, change a phone number: edit the page and every code already printed follows.
What goes on the page
- Full ingredient list, in descending order of weight as the law expects.
- The fourteen allergens named in UK and EU food law, picked from a checklist so none are missed and none are misspelled.
- May contain warnings for cross contamination in a shared kitchen.
- Nutrition table with your chosen reference quantity.
- Storage and preparation, net quantity, and best before information.
- Your business name and address, which pre-packed food is required to carry.
Who this is for
Bakeries, breweries, coffee roasters, farm shops, sauce and preserve makers, meal prep businesses and anyone selling pre-packed food. It is particularly useful if you produce small batches, run seasonal recipes, or change a supplier and therefore change an ingredient.
Why a dynamic code matters here
Recipes change. Suppliers substitute. A mistake in an allergen list is not a typo, it is a recall. With a static code or printed text, a change means new artwork, a new print run and old stock that is now wrong. With a dynamic code the pattern on the label never changes, and the page behind it is corrected in under a minute.
The code stays valid for the life of the product. If you reformulate next spring, the same printed jar points at the new information.
How it works
- Build the page. Fill in the fields above. There is nothing to design.
- Get your code. Generate a QR code that points at the page, in your colours, with your logo, ready for print as PNG or vector SVG.
- Print it once. Update the page whenever the recipe, the supplier or the law changes.
Common questions
Does a QR code replace the allergen information on my label?
No, and you should not treat it as though it does. UK law still requires certain information to appear on the packaging itself, and the rules differ between pre-packed, loose and pre-packed for direct sale food. A QR code is the right home for the full detail that will not fit, and for keeping that detail current. Check your obligations with your local authority or a labelling consultant.
What if I change the recipe?
Edit the page. Everyone who scans the code from that moment on sees the new information, including people holding jars printed last year.
Does the page work without an app?
Yes. It is an ordinary web page that opens in the phone camera. There is nothing to install, no account for your customer, and it loads in well under a second on a poor connection.
