How an email QR code works
Scanning the code opens the phone’s email app with a new message already addressed to you - and, if you set them, a subject line and body text filled in. Nothing is sent until the person taps Send.
Use a specific subject such as "Brochure request - spring fair" so you can tell which flyer or poster each email came from.

Feedback requests on receipts and menus, 'email us for a quote' on flyers, event RSVPs, support requests on product packaging, and sign-up requests at events.
Use a distinct subject line for each flyer or location, such as 'Spring flyer - Berlin'. Every email that arrives from the code then shows where the person found it.
Yes, for anything printed. A role address such as info@ or support@ keeps working when staff change, while a personal address on thousands of flyers is hard to retire.
