Packaging register

LUCID is the official packaging register of the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (ZSVR). Every brand placing sales, shipping or service packaging on the German market must register and report its quantities. Foreign brands are also affected as soon as they sell into Germany.

Consequences of missing registration: sales ban and fines up to €200,000 per violation. The packaging register is mandatory, not optional.

• Onboard LUCID registration: Step-by-step wizard that walks you through the first LUCID entry.
• Capture quantities: Enter the quantity placed on the market per material and packaging type — either per product or as a total estimate.
• Create quarterly report: Reguly aggregates your quantities per quarter and creates a report.
• CSV export: Export the report as CSV — ready for manual LUCID input or automatic upload.
• Direct submission: When your LUCID credentials are stored, Reguly can submit the report directly.

When you use Reguly for the first time and have no LUCID registration yet, start with the guided onboarding under PPWR → Packaging register → Onboarding.

1. 1

   Check brand data

   Reguly uses the data from your brand profile (Master data → Brand). Make sure company name, address, tax number and contact person are correct.

2. 2

   Identify materials

   Pick which packaging materials you place on the market (glass, paper, plastic, metal, composite). Reguly suggests options based on your product master data — you only confirm or extend.

3. 3

   Open the LUCID registration link

   Reguly links you directly to the right LUCID form and shows your data side-by-side, so you can copy it 1:1. Saves searching and typos.

4. 4

   Enter the LUCID number

   Once you receive your LUCID registration number, enter it in Reguly. From then on the registration is linked and every future report uses this number automatically.

1. 1

   Open the quantities area

   In the dashboard under 'PPWR → Packaging register → Quantities'. Reguly shows all your products with packaging data and an input for the per-quarter quantity.

2. 2

   Per product or aggregated

   You can capture quantities per product (precise but more effort) or aggregated per material (easy but less precise). Reguly recommends per-product capture — it is also audit-safe.

3. 3

   Carry quantities from the previous quarter

   When little has changed, you can copy the previous-quarter values in one click and only adjust deviations.

4. 4

   Generate the quarterly report

   Click 'Create report'. Reguly aggregates the data and creates a quarterly report. Before export you get a preview with a plausibility check.

5. 5

   CSV export or direct submission

   Two options: CSV export for manual LUCID upload (safe, you control every step) or automatic submission (fast, requires stored LUCID credentials).

Before each export Reguly automatically checks:

• whether all required materials are reported,
• whether the quantity differs sharply from the previous quarter (more than ±50% → warning),
• whether totals per material match the expected order of magnitude (e.g. not 10t glass when you run a small online shop),
• whether your LUCID number is stored.
