QR Table Stand Template
A solid wedge that holds a raised QR code at a readable angle on a table, counter or shelf. Here is what the Table stand format produces, how big it comes out and how to pick settings before you download a file.
What this template makes
The Table stand format turns your code into one printed wedge. The base sits flat on the surface, and the face slopes back at about 38 degrees from the table, carrying the QR modules in 1.2 mm of relief. There are no holes, no hinges and no separate easel to assemble, so it prints as a single piece and stands up on its own.
The slope matters because a code lying flat on a table is hard to scan from a seat: the phone has to be held almost directly above it. Tilting the face toward the guest lets the camera see it without anyone leaning over.
Approximate measurements
These figures come from the generator for a short link of about 25 modules per side. Treat them as a guide, not a drawing: your own link decides the final size.
| Setting | QR width | Stand (width × depth × height) |
|---|---|---|
| Medium (2.3 mm modules) | 57.5 mm | 73.5 × 61.4 × 53 mm |
| Large (3.0 mm modules) | 75 mm | 91 × 75.2 × 63.7 mm |
| With optional raised text | unchanged | about 8 mm more depth |
Each extra four modules adds roughly 9 mm in the medium setting, so a longer link makes a visibly larger stand. Keeping the link short is the cheapest way to save plastic and print time. The "10 times the width" rule of thumb still applies: a 57.5 mm code scans comfortably from about half a metre.
Who it is for
- Cafes and restaurants that want a menu or review stand on each table; see our guide to QR table stands for restaurants.
- Market stalls and small shops that point customers to a catalogue, a price list or a payment page.
- Hosts of holiday rentals who leave a house guide on the coffee table.
- Event desks, where a stand on the registration table links to the schedule or a sign-up form.
Tips for using it
- Pick medium for tables within arm's reach and large for bars, counters or anywhere guests stand back.
- Link to an address you control, such as a short redirect, so you can change the destination later without reprinting.
- Add raised text only when the stand needs a label. It costs about 8 mm of depth.
- Use two strongly contrasting colors; two-color 3MF versus STL explains which file to choose.
- Scan a test print before printing a batch, using how to print a QR code that scans as your checklist.
- If a print will not read, start with why a QR code is not scanning.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my stand bigger than the table above shows?
The sizes in the table assume a short link of about 25 modules per side. A longer link needs more modules, and at the medium setting every extra four modules adds roughly 9 mm.
Can I change the tilt of the stand?
The template uses a fixed slope of about 38 degrees from the table. It is a compromise that keeps the face easy to read for a seated guest and the wedge stable on the surface.
How much does raised text add?
Optional raised text adds about 8 mm of depth to the stand. Leave it off if the stand has to fit a narrow shelf.
Can I put a wifi code on a table stand?
Yes, but a typical wifi code has about 33 modules, so the stand comes out roughly 18 mm wider than the 25-module sizes in the table. For a wifi code that hangs on a wall, see the wifi plaque template.
