QR codes on signs
Signs live in daylight, which favors bold, dark-on-light codes. Keep the pattern dark on a white block, even when the sign itself is dark, because some camera apps refuse light-on-dark patterns. Laminate against UV so the contrast holds through summers. One dynamic code can serve listing after listing, event after event, on the same printed board.

Dark code, white block
Print the code dark on a white block, whatever the sign's palette. Light-on-dark codes fail in some scanner apps and in low sun.
Weatherproof contrast
UV fades ink, and fade kills contrast. A laminated or UV-stable print keeps the code scannable through its second summer.
One sign, many campaigns
Re-point the code when the listing sells or the event passes. Agents run one printed rider across an entire year of properties.
Common questions
How big should a code be on a yard sign?+
Size for where people stop. A sidewalk reader at 1 meter needs 10cm; a curb reader at 3 meters needs 30cm. Drivers cannot scan at highway speed, so place signs where feet or cars pause.
My sign design is dark. Where does the code go?+
In a white box with a clear margin. The box supplies both the contrast and the quiet zone the scanner needs.
Will the code outlast the sign?+
Yes. QR Tool never deactivates codes, so the sign's material gives out before the link does.
