Your passport is also your sales page
Publish a Digital Product Passport for each style, print the QR code on the label, and let the buyer who scans it contact you directly.
A Digital Product Passport is a compliance document. On DPPLive it is also the first thing a buyer sees when they scan your garment. The QR code on the label opens a page with your factory's name, the product's data, and a button that sends the buyer's inquiry straight to your inbox. The EU rules are the reason the passport exists; the inquiry is the reason to publish it this year rather than in 2028.
What you get
- A passport per style, with its own QR code. Add the product once, generate the code (GS1 Digital Link if you choose), print it on the label. Anyone who scans it sees the passport, with headings and buttons in 9 languages.
- Inquiries that reach you, not the brand. A buyer, agent or retailer who scans a passport can contact the manufacturer directly. The message lands in your DPPLive inbox.
- Your factory, findable. Buyers on DPPLive search for factories by product type, certifications and country. A factory with published passports appears; a factory with none does not.
- The EU registry file, ready. When the Textile Delegated Act applies, the registry submission under Regulation (EU) 2026/1778 is one click, because the identifiers were right from the first passport.
- Help with the data, in Bangla. The 20-question readiness assessment tells you which of the 83 fields you already have. Support answers in English and বাংলা within 24 hours.
How a factory starts
- Pilot, free. Pick one style. We work through all the fields with you over four weeks, and you end with a live passport you can scan in front of your buyer. No card, no contract.
- Free plan, up to 10 DPPs a month. Publish your running styles. Buyer portal, registry file, inquiries, a passport page in 9 languages. See pricing.
- Custom, when the team or the volume grows. More than 10 DPPs a month, roles for merchandising and compliance, buyer access management, carbon calculator.
What the EU actually requires, and when
ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) entered into force in July 2024. The central registry's operating rules, Regulation (EU) 2026/1778, apply since 6 August 2026. The delegated act that makes passports mandatory for textiles is expected in 2027, with obligations following in 2028–29. The brand that places the garment on the EU market is legally responsible for the passport; the factory holds most of the data. See who is responsible for the DPP and the regulation timeline.
That gap is the point. A factory that can hand its buyer a finished passport in 2026 is the factory the buyer does not have to chase for data in 2028.
Built in Dhaka, for the factory side
DPPLive is written in Dhaka by a Bangladeshi team for Bangladeshi exporters. The data model follows ESPR Article 7, the identifiers follow GS1, and the interface works on the phone a line supervisor already carries. Data stays yours: you decide which buyer sees which passport, and you can export your passports at any time.
