No graphic design is included. This service tells you what your packaging must carry and where. It does not produce artwork, redraw logos or lay out your pack. You receive a written compliance guide that your designer or printer applies — that division is deliberate, and it is why the service costs €40 rather than a design fee.

How it works

How the guide is produced

1

Choose your market

Select the country above and order. Selling into several? Order one per market.

2

Send your packaging details

Every component with its material, plus your current artwork.

3

We prepare the guide

Component-by-component requirements, exact wording, placement rules and the registration obligations alongside.

4

Hand it to your designer

The guide is written as instructions someone can apply to artwork without needing to read the regulation.

The problem

Environmental packaging rules are national, not European. A pack that is perfectly marked for Germany may be non-compliant in France, and the French retailer will notice before the regulator does. Marketplaces increasingly check this at listing stage, which turns a labelling detail into a blocked launch.

This service gives you a single, clear answer per market: what your packaging has to carry, on which component, and in what words.

Markets covered

CountrySchemeWhat your packaging has to carry
FranceTriman + Info-TriA mandatory Triman logo and Info-Tri sorting instructions covering every packaging component, plus EPR registration and a unique identifier.
ItalyCONAI environmental labellingMaterial identification coding on each component under Decision 97/129/EC, with disposal instructions for consumer packaging.
SpainRoyal Decree 1055/2022Material identification and separate-collection information on packaging, alongside producer registration obligations.
GermanyVerpackG (Packaging Act)LUCID registration with the ZSVR and participation in a dual system. The obligation is registration-led rather than a mandated on-pack sorting logo.
BelgiumFost Plus / Green DotScheme membership and the sorting information Belgian retail expects, plus the reporting that goes with it.
PortugalPonto VerdeScheme participation and the accompanying marking and disposal information for household packaging.

What you receive

  • A component-by-component breakdown — outer carton, primary container, closure or pump, label, leaflet — and what each one needs.
  • The exact marking or logo required, and the conditions attached to using it.
  • The precise wording of any sorting or disposal statement, in the language of the market.
  • Placement and legibility requirements where the national rules specify them.
  • A note on the registration and reporting obligations that sit alongside the marking, so you do not solve the label and miss the scheme.

What we need from you

  • A list of every packaging component with its material.
  • Your current artwork or a description of what is on the pack today.
  • Whether you sell direct to consumers, through retail, or both.

What this is not

  • Not graphic design. No artwork, no logo files, no layout.
  • Not scheme registration. We tell you what registration is required; joining the scheme remains your action, though we will point you to it.
  • Not a cosmetic label review. Article 19 particulars are a separate service.

Why this is worth €40

  • It is a blocked-launch problem, not a fine problem. French marketplaces and retailers check Triman and Info-Tri before they list you.
  • The rules are genuinely national. There is no single EU answer to copy, and the guidance is mostly published in the national language.
  • Your designer needs a specification, not a regulation. We translate the requirement into instructions someone can apply to artwork.
  • Marking is only half of it. Most of these markets also require producer registration, and a correctly marked pack from an unregistered producer is still non-compliant.
No. We tell you which marking is required, at what size, with what accompanying text and on which component. Producing the artwork is your designer’s job. We deliberately do not offer graphic design, and the price reflects that.
Yes — the requirements genuinely differ per market, and a single combined answer would be wrong somewhere. Order one per country, or contact us and we will quote the set.
The guide identifies which registration or scheme membership applies and what it involves. Completing the registration is your action; we will point you to the right body.
No. Packaging rules apply to the packaging, whatever it contains. If you sell other product categories into the same markets the same guide logic applies — tell us at intake.
The UK operates its own packaging regime outside the EU framework and is not covered by this service. Contact us if you need it and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

Check the cosmetic label at the same time

Environmental marking is one set of rules on your pack. Article 19 particulars — ingredient list, PAO, nominal content, Responsible Person — are another. Reviewing both in one pass saves a print run.
