The special bar codes you see on the back of Beadalon packaging are called QR codes, which stands for Quick Response. When scanned with a smartphone, the code will point you to a special web page with more information about the particular product you’ve chosen.

Simply hold your smart phone up to the code using a QR code reader. If your smart phone doesn't already come equipped with a reader, there are many free apps available that you can download to your iPhone, Blackberry, or Android.
