Two ways

How do you want to use your code?

You decide: download and print the finished code yourself — or have your labels professionally produced by us.

Floating QR code as a digital download asset

Download & print yourself

Create it in the editor, download it as PNG, SVG or PDF. For your own designs, letterhead or ERP labels.

  • 4 formats, print-ready at any size
  • Change content without a new code
  • Scan statistics in real time

Have it professionally printed

No printer of your own? On request, we have your QR code labels professionally produced — in print-shop quality, ready to use straight away. Simply get in touch and we'll find the right solution.

  • Professional print quality, durable materials
  • No printer or toner of your own needed
  • Individually tailored to your requirements

Print once, adapt permanently — on subscription

Strategy changes don't cost a single new box.

The QR code on your packaging contains a fixed address from our platform — not the target URL of your product. On a subscription, you can redirect at any time with a click what appears on scanning — for every package, even if it's already in transit or on the shelf.

Good to know: This ongoing content change is a subscription feature. A one-off purchase code is fixed in content after purchase (permanently scannable, but no longer changeable).

  • Adjust the destination at any time

    From redirecting to an external product page to your own compliance landing page — one click, instantly effective for all packaging already printed.

  • Content updatable without reprinting

    Allergens change, the manufacturer switches its supplier, a material code is adjusted — you update the content on the platform, and the QR code on the packaging remains valid exactly as it is.

  • Versioned audit trail

    Every content change is automatically versioned — traceably documented for market surveillance authorities and recalls.

From the factory to the consumer

One code that works across the entire supply chain

Goods receipt, warehouse, shipping, end customer — the same code, the same URL. You change the content in the editor; the labels in the supply chain stay unchanged.

Comparison: box with QR code only vs. box with QR + PPWR label

QR code only — or the whole label?

Design both yourself.

You decide what you need — and we provide both as a tool: the pure QR code for embedding in your own layout or a complete label that you build entirely from scratch in our designer — with QR code, pictograms, material code, texts, logos and address block, exactly as you wish.

  • QR code only: cost-effective if you already have your own layout — e.g. in your ERP, your print-shop template or an existing package.
  • Complete label (freely designed in the designer): you assemble it yourself in the label editor — with everything the PPWR requires. Recycling codes, shipping warning symbols, fonts and templates are built in.

💡 Important: Whichever route you take — you can download and print the result yourself or have us produce it professionally. Both routes above apply equally to the pure QR code and the complete label.

File upload module

Attach files directly to the QR code

With the file module (unlock once, use permanently) you attach real documents to your QR codes — securely hosted, accessible at any time. Two ways, one module:

A single file directly

The QR code points directly to a single file. Scan → the document opens immediately. Ideal for a data sheet, an operating manual, a certificate or a PDF that should simply sit "behind" the code.

  • PDF, image, Office document, ZIP & more
  • Content replaceable — code stays the same
  • No web space of your own needed

Multiple files on the PPWR page

On the hosted scan landing page of your QR code, you store multiple files together — technical data sheets, declarations of conformity, safety data sheets, images. End customers tap and open what they need.

  • Multiple documents per code, clearly listed
  • Perfect for mandatory PPWR documents on the packaging
  • One file library, used by any number of codes

Securely hosted on a separate sandbox subdomain — files accessible only by scanning, no direct URLs, no search engine indexing. Incl. 2 GB of storage.

Ready for the regulation

You print once. We take care of the rest.

When the material, batch or mandatory information changes, you click Save in the editor. The codes on packaging already printed remain valid — no reprint, no recall, no version chaos.
