When implementing the Digital Product Passport, will companies prefer to print a unique identifier on the packaging at an early stage and manage all product information purely online — or apply the code only at the final production step, enabling late-stage data like batch or expiry to also be encoded and read offline?

Hey Emely, very good question. As always the answer is: it depends. Mostly it will depend on the product category and the content of the DPP that will be published in the different delegated acts. For some products information on product level (GTIN) will be OK, for other categories the DPP has to be applied to batch or even serial level (e.g. CE).
Open is also the question where the DPP has to be applied. Is the package good enough or does it have to be applied on the product itself. Again, the delegated acts will tell us more.
Time will tell..
Hi Emely,
good question and I guess the answer is as always: it depends.
It will mostly depend on the industry and the respective delegated act. A big question is whether the DPP has to be built on a serial, batch or model level.
Also relevant is the question where the DPP has to be applied. Is the package good enough or does it have to be on the product itself? Again, it will vary depending on the delegated acts.
I guess its too soon to tell..
