At QReateBUZZ we spend a lot of time looking at the creative ways people and companies are using QR Codes. Some are just for fun and some are used by brands for serious business marketing and development.

Below, we’ve created a list of QR Code applications we found this week. Feel free to add yours in the comments section below. We’ll try to update the lists weekly.

• Manor, Texas, a town of less than 9000 people QR Coded various points of interest - even public places, police vehicles and a new park called the Smart Park
• QR Coded Sandwiches
• QR Code Chocolate whether it worked or not we can’t say.
• University of Bath (UK) adds QR Codes to its online library catalog
• QR Code Embroidery - by machine, of course.

Slide 4: Creating a QR Code with Contact Info Embedded

1. Select ‘Contact Info’ or its equivalent in your favorite QR Code generator.
2. Enter first and last name, email, and phone number. For compatibility, it’s best to keep it to just this info even if your generator of choice offers more.
