The pbSmart Codes application provides a variety of pre-designed templates for you to create posters, signs, and flyers for your QR code marketing campaigns quickly and easily. You can also create your own design using the "Custom Template" option. Here's how it's done.

1. Log into your pbSmart Codes account and select "Create QR Code & Mobile Campaign" from the top menu or "Create new campaign" from the Quick Choices menu on the right. Select the item you would like to create - Poster, Yard Sign or Flyer, and then click "Next."

2. Under "Customizable Template" select "Custom" - the last option on the right. Four black-on-white templates will appear below the custom template buttons, representing your four options for QR Code and Headline placement. As you move your mouse over these templates, a large preview will appear on the left of your screen.

  • This preview also contains the minimum size requirements for your background image in inches and pixels.
  • If the image you plan to use already contains a headline, you will want to select one of the custom template options that does not have a headline and supporting text area.
  • You can design your custom template in any order - you may wish to upload a background image first, and then enter your headline and supporting text (if applicable) and your Call-to-Action once the image is in place.

3. Click on the Image tab to open the image upload area. You can drag an image into this window from your desktop, or you can use the Browse option to navigate to an image on your computer. When you upload an image it will also be added to your Personal Image Library. This makes it easy for you to re-use images and logos in future campaigns. Images in your Personal Image Library will also be available to use as backgrounds for your Mobile Web Page.

4. Once your image is uploaded the "Customize Image" window will open, allowing you to scale and crop your image to fit the media you have chosen. Click "Continue" when your image looks the way you want it to. You can return to this window at any time by clicking "Crop Existing Image" from the Image window.

5. When your design is finished, click "Done Editing" to proceed to the "Customize Mobile Web Page" step.

And that's all there is to it! You will have an opportunity to review and make revisions to your design from the Checkout window if you wish to make any changes before you order your printed media.
