The Advantage of a Single DPP Workflow
By now, most of us are familiar with Digital Product Passports (DPPs).
A QR code on a label that connects consumers to information about a product, including materials, origins, care instructions and compliance data.
What often gets overlooked is everything that happens before that scan.
Product data must be captured, connected to a physical identifier and maintained throughout the product lifecycle. As Digital Product Passport requirements roll out across the EU, the way this information is managed is becoming increasingly important.
The Difference Between Fragmented and Integrated Workflows
When Workflows Become Fragmented
For many brands, Digital Product Passports involve multiple suppliers, platforms and disconnected processes.
Product data sits in one system, labels are produced elsewhere and the passport itself is managed separately.
As requirements evolve, information moves between systems, ownership becomes unclear and maintaining consistency becomes more difficult.
A Connected Approach
A connected workflow brings product data, care labels and Digital Product Passports together from the start.
Product information originates at factory level, is structured through Variable Data Cloud® and linked to a unique identifier generated during care label production. The Digital Product Passport is then delivered through ShareLabel®, creating one connected workflow.
Benefits include:
- One verified source of product data
- A direct connection between the physical label and digital record
- Clear ownership across the process
- Consistent information from production to consumer scan
Looking Beyond Compliance
Compliance is only part of the opportunity.
When product data, care labels and digital experiences are connected, brands gain greater control over transparency, authenticity and consumer engagement.
As Digital Product Passports become standard across the industry, the conversation is shifting from simply having a passport to how it is managed.
