Tree rings QR code generator

The strokes circle round the centre like the growth rings of a felled oak, shaded from deep chestnut to amber, on a cream panel with a faint wood grain. The rings do the work of the dots, so the code reads as a slice of timber. It is a natural fit for anything made from, or about, wood.

Printing tip

Printing on kraft or recycled card works well, but check that the paper is light enough for the dark rings to stand out clearly.

Static or dynamic: a static code never expires but its link can't change. Pick Dynamic above (free with an account) to change the link after printing and count every scan.

Questions

Can I laser-engrave the tree rings code on wood?+

Download the SVG and give it to whoever runs the laser. Engraved codes need strong contrast, so test a sample piece of the exact timber and scan it before the full batch.

Will the wood texture affect scanning?+

The grain is faint and the rings are dark on a light panel. The code uses the highest error correction level and the design is tested with real QR code readers.

Is it free to use on packaging?+

Yes. It is free for personal and commercial use, with no watermark and no sign-up. The code is static, so it never expires, but the link cannot be edited once printed.
