The shift to digital

12 August 2026: Requirements take effect

PakPruvo presentation with packaging cartons and QR codes for digital EPR labelling from 12 February 2027

From 12 August 2026, the PPWR requires a Declaration of Conformity for every packaging type (Art. 39). 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)).

  • 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.

Declaration of Conformity from August 2026 — QR channel for digital EPR where required

Declarations of Conformity and QR product pages based on your product data.

Incl. Declaration of Conformity (Art. 39)

PakPruvo generates QR codes, multilingual product pages, and Declarations of Conformity from your product data. Manually, via CSV import, or via REST API on Professional and Premium plans. No duplicate data entry, no public product index. Tools for the Declaration of Conformity from August 2026. The same QR can serve as the channel for digital EPR labelling where required (Art. 12(9)). Printed QR links stay stable — you update content after approval; PakPruvo continues to develop features along the PPWR phases — not legal advice (see roadmap).

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.

Fits your organisation

Manual entry and CSV import; on Professional and Premium plans, integration via REST API. Data entry adapts to your company's size, processes, and systems landscape.

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 — 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

Manage product data in the Workbench: packaging components instead of flat categories, multilingual fields centrally managed. Manually, via CSV import, or via REST API on Professional and Premium plans.

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

After approval, 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 an EU Declaration of Conformity for each packaging type. 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, only a technically necessary language cookie. 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.

From 12 August 2026, available today

Declaration of Conformity (Art. 39), stable QR links 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, plus structured material fields, depending on the entry into force of EU implementing acts. A digital supplement via the same QR is possible.

From 2029 / 2030

Reusable packaging labelling (Article 12(2)), recyclability and recycled content, progressively on the same platform.

Status: June 2026. This overview is for general information, not legal advice. Effective dates and national implementation may change; the applicable regulation text is authoritative.

Pricing

Three plans. Fixed monthly prices.

Transparent pricing for manufacturers of every size. Unlimited products and QR codes in every plan. Updates to existing codes remain free of charge.

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 — 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.
