Think about the scanning distance and divide it by 10.
If you plan to add a QR code in a magazine or a flyer, it will most likely be scanned from a close distance, such as 5 inches.
In this case, the code can be 0.5 × 0.5 inches and still scan properly.
Scanning distance: The distance a QR code will be scanned from will affect how big it needs to be. The general rule is that you need to maintain a distance-to-size ratio of 10:1.
The Maltix QR formula for the Size of an in situ QR

Hoardings, Signage and Billboards
Using the formula above, lets say your Signage is 200 yards away from a pedestrian or car park or vantage point
Your QR needs to be 2 yard by 2 yards or 2 metres by 2 metres
