Spectrum offers printing with QR codes for instantaneous transfer of information to mobile phones

  • PRESS RELEASE

Spectrum Digital Print Solutions today announced that is now able to print QR Codes onto any printed material, allowing the rapid transfer of information to mobile phones.

In the case of business cards, this means that contact information can be immediately read and stored, ensuring that phone numbers, email addresses and other important data are held and not lost. The QR Code is a small square matrix code that can contain large amounts of information; anyone with a camera phone and freely-downloaded software can read the code and receive the information it contains.

Ramzi J. Razian, Managing Director of Spectrum said,

"In a busy world, contacts are made all the time but many are lost just as quickly. A business card containing a QR Code ensures that contact information is stored in an instant. The QR code contains all the information found on a standard business card, but can also store photographs, business logos, directions and other data. Our service, a first in the Middle East, is offered at very competitive rates and includes printing business cards, creating the codes, and providing instructions on installing the QR code reader."


"QR Codes can be customised to make them more distinctive, incorporating multiple colors and designs or logos. QR Codes can also contain links to URLs, direct customers to your website and provide additional information that is too large to be printed economically. QR codes can also be used on any printed material: postcards, t-shirts, flyers, posters and signs, including on windows. Naturally, all Spectrum polo shirts, business cards and brochures are being equipped with QR Bar Codes. We anticipate a wide take-up as more people appreciate their convenience and speed."

A recent study conducted in Japan, where QR Codes originated revealed that almost 85% of respondents had used the QR Code reading function on their mobile phone and had read codes from a wide range of media, including business cards, advertisements, flyers, newspapers and magazines, and product labels or packaging.
