DPP
Manage product passports
As soon as you publish a DPP, it lives on here: you manage QR codes, download print templates, update content, archive old passports and see how often each individual passport was scanned.
What you find under 'Product passports'
- Table view of all your passports with status (published, deactivated, archived), GTIN, scan counter.
- QR code download in multiple resolutions (PNG 300/600/1200 dpi, SVG, PDF).
- GS1 Digital Link: Reguly automatically creates a standard-conforming URL — compatible with scan apps and authority readers.
- Edit passport with live preview and versioning — old versions remain visible.
- Delete passport or deactivate — printed QR codes then show a maintenance or archive page.
QR-code workflow
- 1
Open passport
Click the desired passport in the list. The 'QR code' tab shows a preview and download options.
- 2
Pick resolution
For small packaging 300 dpi PNG is enough; for print sheets we recommend 600 dpi or SVG (scales lossless).
- 3
Pick format
PNG for print, SVG for layout software (Adobe Illustrator, InDesign), PDF for final artwork.
- 4
Check GS1 Digital Link
In the 'Link configuration' tab you check which URL the QR code opens. Default: https://reguly.eu/p/{GTIN}/{batch}.
- 5
Test scan
Click 'Test scan' to verify the QR code with a scanner simulation — you see the final consumer view.
- 6
Download print template
Reguly creates a print template with QR code, GTIN and minimum spacing — fits straight into your layout software.
GS1 Digital Link explained
A GS1 Digital Link is a standardised URL format that contains the GTIN of your product. It typically looks like:
https://reguly.eu/01/04012345678901
The advantage: the link works as a QR-code payload AND a barcode EAN at the same time. Authority scanners, consumer apps and older POS systems all understand it. Reguly configures this automatically — you do not need to worry about anything.
No GTIN?
Editing a passport — what changes for printed QR codes?
Most important note: The QR code stays the same — it always points at the Reguly URL with the GTIN. What changes is the content on that URL: when you update and publish the DPP, every consumer sees the new version on the next scan.
Versions are stored in a history. Auditors can review older versions on request — important when a conflict arises ('In 2024 we still had 20% recyclate, today it is 30%').
Scan statistics
When your plan includes analytics, you see per passport: how often was it scanned? from which countries? which devices? at which time of day? This data helps you assess marketing campaigns — e.g. whether a poster or magazine ad actually drives scans.
