"QR codes can hold more information - While a barcode can represent up to 25 characters, a QR code can go up to 2500. This means you can include much more information, like the URL of a product's page on your webshop. QR codes can be smaller - a QR code can be up to 10 times smaller than a bar code and still readable. QR are less likely to be damaged than barcodes. QR codes can be read from all directions, while barcodes can only be read from one direction. QR codes are easily accessible and can be scanned by a QR code reader."
