From the physical label to the trusted data layer
Two connected capabilities. One lifecycle architecture.
Like the strongest Auto-ID businesses, we combine deep physical identification knowledge with implementation support. Unlike a hardware-only distributor, dpplabels also builds the passport, resolver, API and lifecycle-data layer.
01 · DPP DATA SYSTEMS
Digital Product Passport Platform
Structured model, batch and item passports with configurable sections, access control, document evidence, resolver services and APIs.
02 · PHYSICAL IDENTITY
RFID, NFC & Smart Labels
Carrier selection, inlay and label engineering, encoding, readers, proof-of-concept testing and integration for automated product identification.
VENDOR-INDEPENDENT IMPLEMENTATION
Your DPP and Auto-ID partner—from readiness to rollout.
We evaluate the business process first, then select the identity, data carrier, hardware, platform and integration pattern that fit the product. The outcome is a system designed for compliance and measurable operating value.

CAPABILITY MODEL
Six pillars of the dpplabels approach
Every implementation joins governance, identity, physical carriers, data integration, testing and lifecycle operations.
Identity & Serialization
Model, batch and item identities using GTIN, serial, lot and interoperable resolver patterns.
Smart Labels & Carriers
QR, Data Matrix, NFC and RAIN RFID labels engineered for the product and environment.
Platform & API Integration
Connect ERP, PLM, PIM, MES, WMS, supplier portals, EPCIS events and DPP services.
Pilot, Testing & Rollout
Read testing, encoding validation, data-quality checks, process simulation and scale planning.
Lifecycle Support
Repair, resale, refurbishment, recycling, analytics and continuous passport updates.
DPP GRANULARITY
The three official Digital Product Passport levels
The relevant product rules define the minimum required granularity. Your operational and circularity goals determine how much additional value to build above that minimum.
Product Model DPP
One passport describes every unit within the same model or version.
- Technical specifications
- Standard material composition
- Care and repair guidance
- Certifications and documents
Product Batch DPP
A batch-level record adds production, quality and lot-specific traceability.
- Production lot and facility
- Supplier declarations
- Quality and test results
- Targeted recall evidence
Product Item DPP
A unique passport follows each serialized physical product across its lifecycle.
- GTIN plus serial identity
- Warranty and repair history
- Return, rental and resale events
- End-of-life recovery outcome
INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS
DPP and RFID systems shaped around the product
Carrier performance, data requirements and lifecycle workflows change by industry. The architecture must follow the product rather than force every product into the same template.
Textiles & Apparel
Material transparency, item-level RFID, care, repair, resale and recycling data.
Packaging & Labels
Connected packaging, serialization, authentication and consumer-accessible passports.
Retail & Logistics
Automated receiving, inventory visibility, shipment verification and returns control.
Manufacturing
Work-in-progress identification, component traceability and digital production evidence.
Batteries & Electronics
Technical data, origin, service history, safety, second-life and recovery information.
Construction Products
Product documentation, installation, maintenance, disassembly and material recovery.
CONNECTED ARCHITECTURE
DPP is not a code. It is an end-to-end information system.
A durable passport connects identity, carrier, capture infrastructure, enterprise data, resolver services and lifecycle applications.

Clear answers before your first pilot
A Digital Product Passport is a structured digital record connected to a physical product, component or material through a standardized identifier and data carrier. It can provide compliance, technical, environmental, repair and circularity information according to the applicable product rules.
No. RFID identifies the physical object and can automate event capture. The passport data is managed in platforms and connected systems. RFID, NFC, QR and Data Matrix are data-carrier options within the wider DPP architecture.
The applicable regulation determines the minimum granularity. Operational goals also matter: model-level supports static information, batch-level improves quality traceability, and item-level enables product-specific repair, warranty, rental, resale and recycling records.
Yes. A common strategy uses RAIN RFID for automated manufacturing, logistics and inventory processes, while QR gives consumers and service partners universal visual access to the same synchronized product identity.
Begin with one product family and one measurable process. Map data sources, establish identity rules, validate the carrier on the product, connect a small number of systems, and test a real lifecycle workflow such as receiving, repair or return.
