Smart packaging, Digital twins & the easy way to a Digital Product Passport
 

  • Date: 29 January 2026 | 11:30 a.m. (CET)
  • Duration: approx. 1 hour, including Q&A  

 

What you will get out of it?


Understand how you can turn your brand’s packaging into a digital touchpoint that:

  • supports your retailers, consumers & supply chains
  • makes it easier to comply with PPWR, EmpCo & EPR
  • offers you a practical route to a Digital Product Passport (DPP).

We explain how you can customise content during development and code your packaging more efficiently using laser technology.

See how the GS1 Digital Link converts 2D code into a standardised, web-enabled product URL that integrates neatly into your existing processes and can also display variable content, e.g.

  • languages (one layout for multiple translations)
  • ingredient lists (multiple recipes)
  • customer/region-specific features
  • additional text / data tailored to each market, batch or audience.

 

Find out how:

  • code can be applied in-line, without labels or ink
  • to start small, scale cleanly and avoid having to redesign with every change as your product/brand/needs evolve.
     

Who is this for?


FMCG manufacturers in the food, beverage, home & personal care, cosmetics, confectionery and related categories, in particular those responsible for:

  • Packaging development & purchasing
  • Production / Quality / Operations
  • Supply chain & logistics
  • Marketing/consumer engagement
  • Sustainability / Regulatory / Compliance
  • IT / Data / Digital

What you’ll learn:

 

  • Web-enabling your products and providing flexible content via GS1 Digital Link
  • Meeting all needs (consumers, retailers, internal) with one code for many audiences
  • How to evaluate laser coding as an enabler (cycle time, contrast, operating costs, process integration)

Agenda

 

  • Why now? 2D codes, transparency, conformity, DPP
  • GS1 Digital Link: identifiers as standardised, web-enabled URLs with updatable content
  • Digital twin & DPP MVP: entry point, data sources, scaling
  • GS1 Link laser coding: serialisation direct on packaging surface, no labels or inks

Practical preview


Our packaging example enables you to see for yourself how the code supports real-time checks (e.g. best-before date/batch/authenticity) and delivers multilingual, context-sensitive content, using an approach that integrates with production and service processes.
