The box label
One QR code that opens the 3D guide
A 3 x 3.6 in label with one code. Any phone camera opens the latest approved guide in the browser, with no app.
Made to scan in a dim garage.
- Size
- 3 x 3.6 in label. Code 1.8 in wide; never under 1 in on packaging, or 0.8 in on inserts.
- Dark ink on white only, nothing behind the code. Level H error correction, and a quiet zone of four modules on every side.
- Link
- The code and the printed address use one short link to the latest approved revision.
- Test
- Scan on iPhone and Android, in dim light, before every print run.
The code never changes. Where it points does.
The code is a short link on our domain, interstellarinstructions.com/q/k3f9 on this sample. Each code is issued once and never reused.
Step 8 adds the no-stud case: the drywall anchor, drawn at actual size.

FAQ
Questions about the label
Do we have to reprint boxes when the guide changes?
No. The code points to a short link, and the short link opens whichever revision your team approved last. The printed code never changes.
Can we put the code in our own packaging design?
Yes. We send the label as print-ready artwork and the code on its own, with the size and quiet-zone rules. Test scans before each print run.
What if we stop using Interstellar Instructions?
Codes already printed keep opening a read-only text and PDF version of your last approved guide for 24 months.
Does it need an app?
No. Any phone camera opens the link in the browser.
The code on the label shown opens the sample guide for the Kerrow 3-shelf bookcase (sample brand).
