Option | Reason to Use | How to Scan | Weakness |
Data Matrix | Great for laser etching to small metallic items as small as 8x3mm | Needs Scannable App / Scannable URL | Not super durable, depending on location |
QR Codes | Great for printing or laser etching to larger products with 12x12mm+ available surface area. | Can be scanned by mobile phone’s native camera app | Not super durable, depending on location |
NFC Tag | Offers durabilty over 2D codes which need ‘line of sight’ | Tap phone to Tag, with or without Scannable App | Need to tap phone to tag, at the right ‘sweet spot’ on the phone, ie where the NFC antenna is located |
