Seven boxes, and a way to find our kitchen
A 100-portion catering order gave us a small marketing job: turn the label paper we already had into a printable sheet with our name and Facebook QR code.
On 12 September 2026, Chloe’s Mama Kitchen had a catering order for a local Teochew business association’s Mid-Autumn gathering. It was 100 portions, packed into seven paper boxes for delivery. I wanted the people receiving the food to have an easy way to find us afterwards.
A sticker on each outer box seemed worth doing. It could carry our name and phone number, a few words about the food, and a QR code for our Facebook page. If someone liked what they ate, they could find the kitchen and follow us.
We already had pre-cut label paper. I took a photo of the packet and asked the AI agent to make something that would fit it. That detail mattered: a nice-looking design still has to land inside the stickers when it comes out of the printer.
The agent identified the paper as Avery L7165 and made a one-page A4 PDF with eight labels, each 99.1 × 67.7 mm. Seven boxes, eight stickers on a sheet. That left one spare.
The labels used Chloe’s Mama Kitchen’s branding, our contact details and a Facebook QR code. We included catering and pre-order information, along with a short line about quality ingredients and freshly made food. The Chinese wording was changed to Simplified Chinese in the final file.
The agent also checked the file. All eight QR codes decoded to our Facebook link from the rendered PDF, and the phone number and layout were checked. The file was ready to print. That check covered the digital page; alignment on a physical label sheet and scanning the printed stickers still needed a paper test.
I think this size of marketing job is worth doing for a small business. We already had an order and a reason for people to notice the food. A useful label could give someone a way to remember where it came from.
AI helped turn that thought into a file sized for the paper we had. The request included the practical details: the sheet, the contact information, where the QR code should go and what we wanted people to do.
We have a finished PDF from this job. I can’t yet say how many people scanned a sticker or followed the page because of it. That is the part we would need to come back and check.
