About PRINT2D

At PRINT2D, we turn static advertising into an interactive experience. Based in Santa Monica, California, PRINT2D was built on the idea that 2D barcodes are only as relevant as the experiences to which they point.
The mobile designers and developers at PRINT2D go beyond the code - providing everything you need to successfully engage mobile consumers, interact with them and measure the results.

Designer Barcodes It's good to be different

In a "sea of same," Designer barcodes not only set you apart from the rest of the crowd, but they are also shown to increase user expectations and ultimately scan rates. PRINT2D gaurantees its Designer barcodes to look great and function across a wide range of devices and barcode readers.

Barcode ReadersNow in White Label

Delivering the best reader to the users phone is one of the most important, yet overlooked aspects of most 2D barcode strategies. PRINT2D developed the 2DGO Barcode Reader Assistant to address this initial call-to-action and it is now available in White Label.

Mobile Websites Rich, mobile experiences

A true mobile user experience is the component most often missing from most 2D barcode management solutions, and therefore, most 2D barcode strategies. PRINT2D's mobile Websites are developed for mobile "touch" devices by designers that understand mobile user behavior.

Code Validation PRINT2D Guaranteed

PRINT2D gives you confidence that your code will always function when reproduced to our functional specifications. We also offer certified integrated media printers to ensure your codes remain functional after integration.

User Metrics Measure user experience

We employ server-side metrics to track and measure each users' experience on the mobile Web. We believe that measuring the user experience is the only way to effectively analyze the success of a mobile campaign.

Mobile Support Always here to help

Great customer care is important to us. PRINT2D offers 24 hour support, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We want you to always feel comfortable knowing that if you have a question or problems, we are just a click away.

The PRINT2D Platform

Our Platform provides a seamless approach to 2D barcode advertising. We don't focus solely on the code. Rather, we deliver a turn-key solution that includes Code Management, Mobile Hosting, Mobile Streaming, Mobile Analytics and Content Management.

The most comprehensive 2D barcode platform in the world.

PRINT2D's FULLY MANAGED CODE PLATFORM

PRINT2D offers direct, yet, fully managed QR and Data Matrix Codes. These codes are "direct" because they go straight to their source and "managed" because you are always in control of where they point. Direct codes deliver users to the same location where the mobile content is being served, so the experience is faster with less chance for interruptions.

MORE CODES TO CHOOSE FROM

Factors like size, code density, and the type of medium the code will ultimately be placed on are just a few of the things we consider when choosing the best barcode format for any given campaign. We offer 5 distinct 2D barcode formats and even brands as mobile triggers.

MOBILE DEVICE DETECTION

The PRINT2D experience starts with knowing what device a user is on. We are proud to partner with PLUSH Mobile Servers in order to bring you the latest in mobile detection solutions. PLUSH MS uses proprietary technology and open source mobile indexes such as WURFL and Device Atlas® in order to "know your phone".

MOBILE CONTENT DELIVERY

Followed immediately by mobile detection, our hosted platform will deliver an experience that is customized for the device the user is on.
Considerations such as the phone's browser requirements, signal strength
and compatible media are all made in real-time to create an engaging mobile
experience that users come back to enjoy and share with friends!

MOBILE STREAMING vs. DOWNLOADS

Streaming mobile content, such as audio and video, enables PRINT2D to serve media files without forcing users to wait for the file to download. Instead of storing large files on the user's device, mobile streaming divides the content into smaller units called "packets" and "buffers" each packet to the user's device in a continuous stream. By streaming multi-media to the user instead forcing a download, the experience can start immediately without taking up valuable resources on the device itself.
PRINT2D is proud to partner with Akamai®, the world's leader in multi-media streaming services.

MOBILE ANALYTICS

Our mobile analytics engine tracks not only the scan rate, but it also measures the entire user experience. Tracking the code alone can not reveal the scope and depth of your campaigns strengths or weaknesses. When you measure the entire mobile user experience, you are able to understand how people are reacting to and interacing with your message. PRINT2D's mobile analytics cover both Passive and Active statistical data along with sorting and printing functionality that makes viewing and preparing reports a pleasure.

Visitors Statistics (Passive Device Related)

IP Address | Host | Domain Country | Platform | Device | Browser

User Experience Statistics (Active User Behavior)

Referrers & Searches | Page views | Time per page | Social shares / likes | Click-throughs | GEO tracking (city-level)

Breakdowns and Sort Lists

Breadkdowns - Hourly | Daily | Weekly | Monthly
Sort Lists (Top) - Referrers | Searches | SearchEng | Pages | IP Addresses | Hosts | Domains | Countries | Platforms | Devices | Browsers

CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Robust content management combined with mobile analytics enables you to know about and make changes to your campaign while it is live. PRINT2D offers an easy to use Content Management System that enables clients the ability to update things like mobile coupons, special events, alerts & notices, contact info, and more. Target any area of your camaign and submit modifications or changes without having to know anything about mobile development or design.
