Before putting your Flowcode on anything, make sure its design follows our best practices, including size, placement, call to action, and more!
Now, there may be an occasion to use custom or bespoke materials. This will ensure your brand is remembered, talked about and perhaps passed on. We have tested numerous materials to help you express your Flowcode confidently.
