QR CODE FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is each QR code unique? Or do all my labels/tags share the same QR code?

Each QR code label/tag is unique and can be assigned to a different item. That makes them easy to track, update, and delete any of them that gets shared by accident. 


How do I activate my labels and tags when I receive them?

The process if very simple and quick: attach each QR code label to an item, scan it with your smartphone camera, and activate it.

When you scan the first QR code, it will prompt you to create a free PingTag account that is included with your labels/tags, and to add your contact information.

Each subsequent QR code label/tag that you scan will be added to your account and automatically assigned your contact information.


Asset Recovery Label Placement

  • Place the asset recovery label on a clean dry area where it will not interfere with the intended function of your item. 
  • The label should be placed on the flattest possible surface.  
  • Scan the QR code with your phone to set up your account and you’re good to go!  


  • Can I order PingTag products for someone else?

    Absolutely!  You can purchase any product as a gift for someone else, and they can activate it and use it when you give it to them.
