Magnetic QR plaques for Bedland

The project

We made these identification plaques for Bedland mattresses, combining a wooden base, a front panel carrying information and a QR code, and a magnetic fixing on the back. Our work covered staining and cutting the base, preparing and bonding the vinyl films, laser recessing and assembly.

The base was made from birch wood, which we stained and cut to size to accommodate the clear acrylic panel. A visible wooden border surrounds the graphic area, bringing together the mattress reference, QR code and the wording ‘MÁS INFO AQUÍ’.

The information was applied using vinyl printed with a mirrored image. We laminated it with a second, white vinyl film to create the background, then bonded the combined layers to the reverse of the acrylic. The graphics are therefore read from the front through the clear panel, giving an appearance similar to printed glass.

To incorporate the fixing, we laser-recessed the back of the wooden base and added a magnet during assembly. This allows the plaques to be placed on metal surfaces suitable for magnetic attachment.

The finished piece brings together identification, a QR code and a fixing. The different mattress references share a consistent format, with a contrast between the wooden border and the white background carrying the information.

The white background comes from the laminated vinyl film; the acrylic itself is clear.

The magnet sits in a laser-cut recess on the back of the wooden base.
