How do you handle soft-touch for a trade?

Uncoated cotton stains; gloss scratches. Soft-touch laminate: wipeable, scuff-resistant, and it makes the copper read hotter by contrast.

How do you handle qr framed, not floating?

A bare QR on white reads as a shipping label. A copper-foil frame around the code, tying it to the mark.
