QR Codes
Each notepad has an individual QR code with a product-specific URL via the BAUER GROUP URL shortener.
| Product | QR code URL | Shortlink ID |
|---|---|---|
| Notepad A5 | https://go.bauer-group.com/p-pada5 | p-pada5 |
| Notepad A6 | https://go.bauer-group.com/p-pada6 | p-pada6 |
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| URL shortener | go.bauer-group.com |

URL shortener advantage
The shortener go.bauer-group.com decouples the print product from the target URL. The redirect can be changed server-side at any time — without reprinting. Each product receives its own trackable shortlink ID.
