Santa-SKU is a cool new way to label your Christmas presents using a QR code to include a secret message. This allows you to create mystery for those who love to "find their gift" early. The QR code can be set to reveal itself on a specific date, so if you want to stretch the excitement over several days it's easy!
SKU is an elf who helps Santa with his logistics of getting presents to the right place at the right time. He is also in charge of the Technology Department at the North Pole and invented the idea of the SKU encoded messages.
Santa-SKU is fun for all ages! Kids as young as 3 can quickly grasp its simple concept and adults can add a completely new twist to the gift giving process. There are no advertisements or in-app purchases to worry about and no violence whatsoever!
Santa-SKU uses standard, sheet sized labels available in most any office supply store and many large department stores. There are several sizes and shapes to choose from and if your local store is temporarily out of one type label, the project is saved for later use or it's easy to go back and change to an another shape/size.

It could not be easier! The Maker App steps you through the process allowing you to select a shape and size then pre-formats the labels into a ready to print PDF. You then just slip your sheet of labels into your printer and click print. If you have difficulty, you can forward the PDF to a friend who can print it for you using your labels. TIP: always print a test sheet on plain paper to ensure proper orientation before actually inserting the sheet of labels.
No, in fact, the Santa-SKU Reader App is free! You only pay for the ability to create labels using the Santa-SKU Maker App! You can make as many labels with special messages as you like. Make them for everyone on your gift list this season!
First get the SantaSKU app from the Apple App Store here.
Next Launch the app and click on Make. Click New Project,
Give it a Name, Recipient Name and Message. This message will be placed on each label. Prior to printing you may click
individually on the labels in preview and change each message. Click Next. Choose a label shape from the selection window.
You may choose Round 2", Square 2", Oval 1.5"x2.5", Oval 2"x3.33", Rectangular 1.25"x1.75", Rectangular 2"x4" and Rectangular 5.5"x8.5".
Once you choose a shape, pick the images to use on your labels. Choose a variety or let them all be the same if you wish. Click Next.
This will preview what your sheet will look like when printed. At this point you may tap an individual labels image and change the
recipient name or the message. When you are finished editing your recipients and messages, click the Printer icon or the Share Action icon and send the
file to a friend or maybe your office to print later. NOTE: Before printing, be sure to print a test page on plain paper and determine how to correctly orient your label
sheet in your printer. If you want to repeat the process, just tap the home icon, and repeat the process and give your next project a different name.
Projects are saved so you can come back and print the labels later or share the file with a friend via email, airdrop, text or save to the cloud.
Your labels are ready to print and affix to your packages - now the fun begins for the recipient!
Launch the SantaSKU app, click on Scan. The app will use your devices camera to scan the QR code and display and speak the message. If you chose the option to
set a reveal date for the message, it will determine if the date has arrived and if so will reveal the message but if it has not yet arrived, SKU will apologize that he can't yet show you the message
- and the suspense begins to build!
Make as many labels as you desire! There is no limit to the times you may use the app.
Not this season, Santa-SKU only works on iOS devices and is only available in the Apple App Store.
