Hi Emily,

 

We’re trying a QR code sticker for the first time, as a low-vision accessibility area of an interpretive sign. The sign is much larger than our plaques, so there’s room for a good size QR code and url to be included as engraved text with black fill. Graffix is the vendor, they had some good suggestions and may be responsive to initial questions.

 

The photo shows the blank area designed for the sticker. It will go on top of the layers of the sign, but should be fairly weather resistant. It’s somewhat of an experiment for us, but the vendor has experience with these materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck!

Hi all,

 

We are looking for options for adding small QR code signs around our public art to help guide visitors to more information about each piece. Our current plaques are all bronze, so these would possibly need to be small, stand-alone signs near the art. I wanted to see if anyone else had done something similar, and if so, if you have images of what has been done. They need to be weather-resistant and fairly easy to install. I’m hoping to have examples of what we’re needing to provide to local signage companies for price quotes. Also open to other ways you have incorporated QR code information at art pieces.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 

Emily
