Introduction to MCS and MWL QR Code Optical Labels

We are pleased to introduce the MCS and MWL official QR Code optical labels.

The QR code or Quick Response Code, is a square two-dimensional barcodes that were first developed and was originally first used in the Japanese auto industry to scan track parts serial numbers. Similar to a barcode, a QR code stores information and data patterns that can be scanned and translated into readable information in the form of text, email addresses, phone numbers, etc. The most common way to scan QR codes is via smartphone by a QR scanning app, available in Google’s Play Store and in Apple’s App Store.
