Master data
Products
Here you manage every product you place on the market — with packaging data, materials, substances and images. Reguly uses this data in every compliance workflow: from the DOC to the DPP to quantity reporting in the packaging register.
What does a product consist of?
A product in Reguly has three layers:
- Identity: Name, category, GTIN/barcode, product image.
- Packaging: Per product one or more packaging components (e.g. PET bottle + label + cap).
- Substances: List of contained substances — important for SVHC assessment and food-contact compliance.
Step by step: create a new product
- 1
Open Products
In the dashboard under 'Master data → Products'. You see a table of every existing product with status: complete / incomplete / inactive.
- 2
New product
Click 'New product'. Reguly opens a wizard that walks you through the required fields step by step.
- 3
Fill in identity
Product name, category (Reguly suggests categories from existing products), GTIN. When you have no GTIN, you can add it later.
- 4
Create packaging components
Click 'Add component'. Per component you enter material, weight, recyclate share and supplier. Example: PET bottle 25 g, 30% recyclate, supplier 'Müller Plastics'.
- 5
Add substances
When you use SVHC-relevant or food-contact-relevant substances, enter them here. Reguly has a search index of all registered substances — you pick instead of typing manually.
- 6
Upload images
Upload product photos (at least one frontal shot, optionally detail shots). They appear in the DPP and on the brand page.
- 7
Save
Click 'Save product'. Reguly automatically checks which compliance workflows are immediately runnable for this product (e.g. 'DOC can be created').

Bulk creation via CSV
When you want to create many products at once (e.g. during the first Reguly onboarding), use the CSV import:
- 1

Click 'CSV import' → 'Template'. You receive a CSV with all columns and example rows.
- 2
Add data
Fill in your products in Excel/Google Sheets. Keep the column names unchanged.
- 3
Upload and review
Reguly validates the CSV and shows error rows. Corrected rows you can edit directly in the browser.
- 4
Import
With 'Confirm import' all products are created in one step. Reguly automatically links suppliers when the name matches.
