QRbolt demo sites
Pretend businesses, real QR codes
These two businesses do not exist. Their codes do. We use them in product videos and live demos to show where a scan can take someone, without pointing a camera at anyone's real customers.
Creative Madness Chocolate Co.
A small chocolate maker with bars, truffles, gift boxes and hot chocolate. Its packs carry a marketing code that changes after printing, and a GS1 Digital Link that opens a page for each lot.
Creative Madness Realty
A listing agent in a made-up town. Yard signs that move to the next listing, an open-house sign-in, and a business card that saves itself to your phone.
Why build fake businesses?
A demo of a QR code is only convincing if you can scan it. Mock-ups and screenshots cannot do that. So each demo here has real pages, and every code in our videos opens one of them through a short link on a custom domain, the way a real business would set it up. Change where a code points, and the printed code follows. That is the core idea of a dynamic QR code, and it is easier to show than to explain.
What each demo shows
The chocolate maker
Packaged goods brands print wrappers months ahead, so a code that can change after printing is worth a lot. The chocolate demo also shows how a GS1 Digital Link carries the product's GTIN with its lot and best-before date, which matters as retailers prepare their tills for 2D codes. Read how the wrapper codes work, or see what QR codes do for packaged goods.
The realtor
Agents print signs, feature sheets and cards that outlive any one listing. The realty demo shows five codes that keep that print useful. Read the five codes a listing agent can use, or see QR codes for real estate.
A note on honesty
Every person, product, home, price and address on these sites is made up. The barcodes use the GS1 prefix reserved for demonstrations, phone numbers use the 555 range, and the forms are switched off. Each page says so at the top.
