Print that comes alive.

A package, label, poster or sign is already in your customer's hands or sight. Adding an AR layer or a smart QR code turns it into a doorway: scan, and a 3D product appears, a video plays, or an offer unlocks. The print still looks good on its own. The scan is the bonus.

What is AR-enhanced print?

It's print or packaging with a digital layer that opens when someone scans it with a phone. The scan can start an augmented reality (AR) experience in the camera view, or open a page, video, recipe, reorder button or product guide.

Ideas that work

• Packaging. Scan a box for a 3D view, usage tips or a reorder link.
• Labels. A wine or coffee label that tells the story of where it came from.
• Signage and posters. A storefront sign that shows today's offer or opens a booking page.
• Business cards and brochures. A card that plays a short intro video.
• Events. Banners and booths that react when scanned.

What goes into it

1. Design the print first. It has to look great without any technology.
2. Plan the scan. Where the code goes, what it triggers and why anyone would bother.
3. Build the experience. A mobile-friendly page or lightweight AR, with no app download needed where possible.
4. Test on real prints. Lighting, size, distance and different phones.
5. Measure. Track scans so you know what's working.
