Identify the item
Give every product, batch and packaging unit a unique, resolvable identifier — GS1 Digital Link, serialised QR or Data Matrix.
Product Passport
The passport starts at the print head.
Carry product, batch and material data in a code your customer can scan — and your regulator can follow.
A digital product passport is only as reliable as the identifier that points to it. TEC-IT generates that identifier — a GS1 Digital Link, a serialised QR, a Data Matrix — from the master data you already hold, and prints it onto the product, the pack and the pallet.
Four EU regulations, four data models, one piece of packaging.
Connect product identifiers to the data behind the passport.
ESPR brings the digital product passport. PPWR brings harmonised packaging labelling and QR-coded reusable packaging. EUDR brings plot-level geolocation and due diligence statements. CLP is being rewritten around digital labelling. Each arrives on its own timetable, each wants a machine-readable carrier, and none of them will accept a spreadsheet. The identifier layer is the part they share — get that right and each new rule becomes a data mapping, not a reprint of every label you own.
Bind the data
Link that identifier to the material, batch, origin and compliance data already held in your ERP or PIM.
Print and re-print
Roll changes out through one template library, so a new data requirement is a template update — not a relabelling project.
The passport at the print head.
DPP identifiers, data and printing as one system.
Passport-ready templates
A DPP carrier is designed once and reused across every product and market.
Identifiers checked at source
Each identifier is checked against GS1 and DPP rules before it prints.
Passport carriers on demand
Create a traceable DPP carrier for the production printer, a PDF artwork file or a connected service.

Frequently asked questions
Learn more about Digital Product Passport & EU Labeling.
Can software be "DPP compliant" today?
No, and be wary of anyone claiming otherwise. The ESPR is in force, but no product-specific delegated act has been adopted, so the data model most product groups will have to follow does not yet exist. What you can do now is get the identifier layer right — a unique, resolvable code on every item — because that part is common to every version of the rules.
Which EU product passport obligation lands first?
The battery passport, on 18 February 2027, under the Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. It is the first legally binding digital product passport in the EU and it arrives via the batteries rules, not via the ESPR.
What does PPWR require on packaging, and when?
The PPWR applies from 12 August 2026, but its harmonised labelling requirements apply from 12 August 2028 at the earliest — the date is set at 24 months after the relevant implementing acts, which have not yet been adopted. Treat 2028 as a floor rather than a fixed deadline, and note that the symbol artwork has not been published.
What does a passport-ready label actually need?
A machine-readable carrier holding a unique identifier that resolves to a live record — typically a GS1 Digital Link in a QR or Data Matrix. Because the code points at a record rather than containing all the data, the information behind it can be updated without reprinting packaging that has already shipped.
