Print That Keeps Talking
Pep Codes turn ordinary printed merchandise into interactive experiences. Daily reveals, collectible drops, advent countdowns, story unlocks — the print stays the same, the experience evolves.
Five Experience Types, Live Today
Every Smart Merch experience runs on Peppd's live platform — no custom dev required.
Daily Reveals
A new experience unlocks every day. Recipes, tips, challenges, or messages — the product keeps engaging long after purchase.
A mug that shares a new coffee recipe every morning. A card that reveals a daily mindfulness prompt.
Collectible Drops
Each product in a series reveals exclusive content. Collectors scan to unlock what's inside — digital trading cards, art, lore, behind-the-scenes.
A limited-run print series where each piece unlocks a unique digital artwork and artist statement.
Advent & Countdown
Content unlocks day by day across a campaign period. Perfect for seasonal promotions, product launches, and loyalty programmes.
A 12-day advent box where each scan on the correct day reveals the next surprise gift or discount.
Story Unlocks
Narrative content unfolds as the holder scans. Build brand stories, product journeys, or personalised messages that reveal over time.
A branded gift box that tells the story of where each ingredient came from — one scan per chapter.
Always-On Extras
Evergreen content that's there whenever the holder scans. Care instructions, warranty registration, reorder links, or brand loyalty perks.
A clothing tag that links to a styling guide, care video, and reorder page — forever, without reprinting.
Something Else?
Have a brief that doesn't fit neatly into one of these boxes? We build custom experiences too.

We Set Up the Backend
Peppd handles the content engine, scheduling, and scan tracking. Your client provides the content — we handle everything else.
You Print as Normal
Pep Codes go on wherever QR codes would. No new equipment, no new workflow. Print it, ship it.
Your Client Gets the Data
Every scan is tracked. Your client sees who engaged, when, and on what device — a first for physical merch.
The Print Never Changes. The Experience Does.
Pep Codes are dynamic QR codes that update without reprinting. Run a campaign, swap content, fix a typo — the physical product stays exactly the same.
- Update content anytime — no reprint, no wasted stock
- Every scan is tracked (who, when, where, what device)
- Content can be time-gated, geo-gated, or scan-count controlled
- Works with any printer — Pep Codes are standard QR codes
- Clients get a dashboard with real engagement data
