Frequently asked questions about QR codes
How durable are QR labels on tools?
QR labels generated in Toolero can be printed on laminated stickers that are resistant to dust, moisture and rain. They work well both in workshops and on outdoor construction sites. With a label printer or laminating film, stickers last for several years of intensive use.
What kind of printer do I need for QR labels?
A regular laser or inkjet printer is sufficient. You can print labels on self-adhesive A4 paper or use a label printer (e.g., Brother, Dymo). Toolero generates labels in print-ready formats - single labels or A4 sheets.
How many QR codes can I generate in Toolero?
QR code generation is unlimited in all plans. You can generate as many labels as you have tools in the system. Starter plan supports up to 50 tools, Business up to 150, and Enterprise has no limits.
What if a QR label gets damaged or peels off?
Simply generate and print a new label for the same tool. Tool data, rental history and all information remain unchanged in the system. The new label works identically to the previous one.
QR codes vs RFID - which is better for small businesses?
For companies with up to 500 tools, QR codes are clearly the better choice. RFID implementation costs 5,000-50,000 PLN for readers and tags, while QR codes are generated for free and scanned with a regular phone. QR provides the same benefits (identification, history, control) without hardware investment.
