tracenza. passport · Digital Product Passport
The digital passport for your products, ready for Europe.
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces the Digital Product Passport: every product will have a digital record of its origin, materials, repairability and recycling. Those who prepare early also gain a commercial edge: with tracenza. passport we deliver a working passport on your product.
Why act now
- The required data is scattered across suppliers, production and quality: gathering it takes time.
- The data carrier (QR, NFC, RFID) has to be designed into the packaging and the product.
- The same passport can fight counterfeiting and speak to your customers.
- Deadlines will arrive category by category: better not to be caught chasing them.
Method
How we support you
- 01
Data mapping
We identify what information your category requires and where it sits today.
- 02
Choosing the data carrier
QR, NFC or RFID: based on cost, customer experience, anti-counterfeiting and warehouse processes.
- 03
Platform and integration
The passport is generated and updated from your systems, not filled in by hand.
Solutions
What we build
Cryptographic authenticity
NTAG 424 DNA NFC tags verified with authentia.: every read is checked and clones are detected.
Electronic label
For wine, ingredients and nutrition information available straight from the bottle.
Supply chain traceability
The passport grows at every step, from the production batch to delivery.
An example
The digital passport of a bottle of wine.
What someone sees when they hold their phone to the NFC tag on the bottle. The sections open just as they do on the phone; alongside, what each one contains and why it matters.
Winery, product and values are examples.

The green bar makes the difference
A printed QR code can be copied in a second. The NTAG 424 DNA NFC tag signs every read: the page opens with “Genuine product” and the read number, so the passport also proves that the bottle is the real one.
1
Product identity
GTIN, batch and serial number of the individual bottle. The address follows the GS1 Digital Link standard, so distributors’ and customs systems can read it too.
2
Electronic label, on a separate page
For wine it has been mandatory since 8 December 2023 (Regulation (EU) 2021/2117): ingredients and the nutrition table can be online, as long as the energy value and allergens stay on the physical label. The Commission’s guidelines require it to be kept apart from marketing content and not to collect data on the people who view it: that is why it opens on its own page, with no promotion and no tracking.

Origin and supply chain
The producer’s story, with verifiable dates and places: the part customers actually read, and what sets the winery apart.
4
Environment and disposal
Carbon footprint, where measured, and the environmental labelling codes for packaging required in Italy (GL 71 glass, FOR 51 cork, ALU 41 aluminium).
5
Certificates and documents
Designation of origin, technical sheets, lab analyses: updated by the producer without reprinting the label.
6
Restricted access
The ESPR regulation provides for different access levels: the public sees the record, while authorities and supply-chain operators also see sensitive data. By changing the sections, the same record works for textiles, cosmetics, leather goods or batteries.

The questions we hear most often.
Is the DPP already mandatory?
Not yet for most products: obligations come into force category by category. Preparing early lets you choose data carriers and platform without rushing.
QR or NFC: which is better?
QR costs less and works everywhere; NFC offers a better experience and, with cryptographic tags, protects against counterfeiting. They are often used together.
Who manages the passport data?
The data stays yours. We connect it to your systems and decide with you where to host it.
