The shift to digital

The PPWR has applied since 12 August 2026

Since 12 August 2026, manufacturers must issue an EU Declaration of Conformity (Art. 39) for each packaging type they newly place on the market — covering the requirements already applicable at that time. From February 2027, EU member states may require digital EPR labelling; where a member state requires it, only a QR code or an equivalent open, standardised technology is permitted (Article 12(9)).

PakPruvo presentation with packaging cartons and QR codes for digital EPR labelling from 12 February 2027
  • You manage your packaging data.

  • PakPruvo uses it to generate the Declaration of Conformity and the QR-linked product page.

  • From 2027, you use the same QR when your member state requires digital EPR labelling (Article 12(9)).

  • The same QR link remains; you update content after approval.

Why PakPruvo

Add compliance, keep your systems

Whether compact master data maintenance or enterprise system integration: PakPruvo adapts to your IT landscape and extends your product data with QR codes, product pages, and Declarations of Conformity, without replacing your existing systems.

Model packaging in detail

Per packaging component: materials, material shares, recyclate shares, weight in grams, and multi-layer composite structures. Start manually or via CSV; from Professional also via REST API.

Declaration of Conformity, on your terms

Create a DoC draft from product data or upload an existing PDF. Content and approval remain with you. Everything stays in the system, without a separate document repository.

Non-indexable URLs

Short, non-sequential addresses, with no public product index and no product search.

Scale with PPWR and your plan

From a lean start to REST API on the Professional plan, on the same platform for future PPWR phases; new features as EU specifications and PakPruvo capabilities become available (see roadmap).

How it works

Four steps from data source to packaging.

From the compliance cockpit to an approved QR page: review workflow, Declaration of Conformity, and bulk publishing in one end-to-end process.

1. Enter & maintain

Capture packaging components with material, weight in grams, material shares, recyclate content, and multi-layer composite structures. Manually, via CSV import, or via REST API from Professional. The data is held centrally for PPWR workflows, Declarations of Conformity, and public product pages.

2. Review

Compliance cockpit with KPIs and PPWR phase progress: missing mandatory fields and open tasks block approval. You can preview the customer-facing page at any time.

3. Approve

Optionally with dual approval: submit, review, approve, or reject. Publish multiple products ready for approval at once, including DoC generation in the same step.

4. Publish

While your contract is active, PakPruvo generates QR codes as PNG, SVG, and EPS with stable links (URL unchanged). The product page shows approved packaging information and the Declaration of Conformity. From 2027, it is the channel you will use for digital EPR labelling (Article 12(9)) when your target market requires it.

Declaration of Conformity

The Declaration of Conformity (Art. 39) in your workflow: from your data, approved by you.

PPWR Art. 39 requires manufacturers to issue an EU Declaration of Conformity for each packaging type, covering the applicable requirements. PakPruvo guides you through generation, upload, or reuse via a wizard, including versioning, the signatory's signature, and a dedicated PDF section per packaging component.

  • Generate, upload, or reuse

    The DoC wizard guides you through generation from product data, PDF upload, or copying from another product, including automatic document numbers and mandatory validation of applied standards.

  • Multilingual, signed & print-ready

    Multi-page PDF in the languages of your target markets, with the signatory's signature and a dedicated section per packaging component (PPWR Art. 39).

  • Versioned & traceable

    Drafts, issued versions, and version history; issued PDFs are kept. The printed QR code does not expire. When packaging changes after issuance, the system identifies the need for re-issuance.

  • Export for audits

    On the Professional plan as a ZIP export of relevant product and DoC documents for internal preparation or sharing after your own review, one-click export instead of searching through folders.

  • Available from the QR page

    The issued Declaration of Conformity is available for download on the public product page, together with a structured layout per packaging component.

Data governance

Full data sovereignty

All product and compliance data in one place: traceable, versioned, and tenant-isolated.

Data storage

Typical approach

Scattered across ERP, folders, and email; hard to audit.

With PakPruvo

Centralised in the tenant and archived with versioning; DoC and product pages from a single source.

Data maintenance

Typical approach

Duplicate entry in ERP and compliance silos, error-prone when changes occur.

With PakPruvo

One Workbench for master data, packaging components, and DoC, with review workflow before publication.

Access & security

Typical approach

Shared logins, weak passwords, publicly guessable product URLs.

With PakPruvo

2FA, non-guessable QR addresses, and API keys with admin control, with no public product index.

Security

Security on three levels

Protection at architecture, access, and privacy levels, without compromising transparency for end customers.

Architectural

Tenant isolation, non-sequential QR links, and no public product search. Only approved content is accessible.

Structural

Two-factor authentication, password strength hints, self-service password reset, and role-based admin access.

Privacy on product pages

No tracking or analytics cookies on public product pages. No scan tracking and no user profiles.

PPWR roadmap

Available now and on the roadmap

Mapped clearly to each PPWR phase: EPR labelling, sorting, and Declaration of Conformity are three separate requirements with different deadlines.

Since 12 August 2026, available

Declaration of Conformity (Art. 39), stable QR links during the contract term and product pages, pre-publication checks, versioned DoC archiving, QR export as PNG, SVG, and EPS.

From 12 February 2027

Digital EPR labelling (Article 12(9)): If a member state requires labelling for packaging subject to EPR obligations, from this date it must be provided exclusively via a QR code or an equivalent open, standardised technology. PakPruvo provides the QR channel.

No earlier than 12 August 2028, planned

EU sorting pictograms physically on packaging, depending on the entry into force of EU implementing acts. A digital supplement via the same QR is possible. You can already capture material composition and composite structures in PakPruvo today.

From 2029 / 2030

Reusable packaging labelling (Article 12(2)) and further recyclability requirements, progressively on the same platform. You can already capture recyclate shares per material today.

Pricing

Four plans. Fixed monthly prices.

Transparent pricing for companies of every size. Unlimited published products and QR codes from Starter upward; up to 15 published products on Micro. Drafts do not count toward the limit. Updates to existing codes remain free of charge during the contract term.

Included in every plan

Declaration of Conformity as PDF

Generate automatically or upload PDF, multilingual and print-ready

Products & QR codes per plan

No per-unit billing — capacity depends on your plan

Stable QR links during the contract term

Once printed, QR links stay stable while your contract is active; update content after approval without reprinting. Declarations of Conformity are archived with versioning.

Email support

Questions about plans, setup, and usage: support@pakpruvo.eu

Optional after contract ends: Printed QR codes stay reachable

When your main contract ends, printed QR codes normally stop leading to your product pages. With this add-on, your last published pages stay online at the same URLs, view-only, with no editing and no admin access. Cancel monthly; the price will appear here once set.

Evolves with PPWR phases

One platform. Three clear advantages.

PakPruvo does not just solve a compliance problem; it aligns production, customer experience, and legal requirements at the same time.

Simple for production teams

Seamless integration into existing workflows with minimal effort. After registration, a setup checklist guides you through profile, markets, and first product. No platform migration, no new machinery, no duplicate data entry.

Clear for end customers

Packaging information for each component and the issued Declaration of Conformity directly after scanning, with no search required, multilingual, no scan tracking and no user profiles.

Roadmap: DoC, EPR, sorting

2026: Declaration of Conformity and pre-publication checks. 2027: QR for EPR labelling (where required, Article 12(9)). 2028: sorting pictograms can be added on the same platform, without a platform migration.
