One ecosystem — for all of Europe.

Specialized. Experienced.
Physical & digital.

Labels, plastic cards and EU compliance — three worlds that belong together in reality. Until now, no one has connected them.

PreQ combines physical print products, digital labels and EU compliance in one ecosystem — from a single source, for all of Europe.

Most companies know this scenario: A new EU regulation comes into force. A product needs a new label — physically correct, digitally linked, legally compliant.

Then the coordination begins: lawyer for the standard interpretation. Print shop for the nameplate. IT for the QR code. Compliance consultant for the documentation.

Four providers. Four offers. Four interfaces. And in the end, none of them carries the overall risk.

Friction in almost every project

Time, money and accountability get lost.

Fragmented sourcing

Physical products, digital solutions and EU compliance come from different providers without shared logic.

Compliance uncertainty

Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, ESPR, GHS/CLP, CE — who informs, who updates? And who is liable if no one does?

Time-to-Market

A new regulation comes into force — by the time everything is coordinated, months go by. Your competitor reaches the customer first.

The nameplate stays. Everything behind it is alive.

You know the QR code on wine labels — scan, read ingredients. The principle is the same. The difference is what lies behind it.

A nameplate in metal or stainless steel is produced once — for the lifetime of the machine, at least ten years. What lies behind it is permanently up to date.

Software update

The machine receives an update. New user interface, new functions. The technician scans the QR code — and instantly has the operating manual matching the installed version. Automatically. Without delay.

Every language

The technician is standing in front of the machine — in Poland, Spain or Sweden. The operating manual appears automatically in their native language. All EU markets, one system, no extra effort.

Printed on demand

The customer wants the operating manual printed. One click in the QR code portal — PreQ prints and ships the current version, EU-wide. The manufacturer sets it up once. The system handles the rest.

One of the first ecosystems of its kind.

Your Industry — Our Specialization

Labeling obligations are industry-specific. That's why we speak your language — not the language of product catalogs.

Mechanical Engineering & Industry

MaschVO 2023/1230, CE marking, nameplates in metal and stainless steel with serial number and QR code — operating manuals, maintenance schedules and declarations of conformity digitally available, always version-current, automatically in the technician's language. Machine software update — new manual instantly available.

Food & Beverages

EU 1169/2011, allergen labeling, MHD labels, wine e-labels and DPP — EU-compliant product labels from a single source.

Transport & Logistics

Shipping labels, GS1 barcodes, QR tracking, return labels — identification and end-to-end traceability.

Retail

Product labels, price tags, plastic cards and QR code campaigns.

Pharma & Medical Devices

MDR labeling, serialization, tamper-evident labels and security stickers — MDR- and UDI-compliant.

Event Management

Access cards, RFID wristbands and plastic cards in special formats.

Chemicals & Hazardous Materials

Hazard labels, storage marking, stickers with QR code linking to safety data sheets and operating instructions — GHS/CLP- and REACH-compliant.

Cosmetics & Beauty

Premium product labels, booklet labels for ingredient lists (INCI) and decorative finishing — compliant with EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009.

Electronics

Nameplates, high-temperature labels and device marking — RoHS, WEEE and ESPR battery regulation covered.

One Ecosystem.
One Point of Contact.

One of the first ecosystems of its kind — four regulatory pillars, physical and digital, from a single source.

Physical products

Nameplates in metal and stainless steel, labels, stickers, plastic cards — tangible identification for products, packaging and machinery. Hand-picked — proven or vetted. Quality, reliability and on-time delivery are non-negotiable.

Dynamic platform

QR codes, e-labels and the platform behind them. Product data, updates and compliance information managed centrally — multilingual, version-current, automated. Not only the QR code is dynamic — the entire infrastructure behind it is alive.

EU compliance

MVO 2023/1230, ESPR/DPP, Wine E-Labels, CE marking — four regulations, one platform. Complex EU requirements become understandable, brand-ready solutions. A competence that is rare in the market.

Documentation on demand

Printed operating manuals on order — directly via the QR code, deliverable EU-wide. The manufacturer sets it up once. The end customer orders when needed. The system delivers.

Your Edge — Time Gained, Risk Reduced

While others are still coordinating, your workflows are already structured.

01

Consulting over production

Your idea is strategically guided — from sketch to implementation. Without own machinery: neutral, flexible, independent of vendor interests.

02

Platforms that scale with you

Today label configuration, tomorrow Digital Product Passport — your system grows with your requirements. No restart, no system change. Not only the QR code is dynamic — the entire structure behind it is alive.

03

Regulation as competitive advantage

Your EU requirements become understandable, brand-ready solutions — and earlier than most of your competitors.

04

The label is the beginning

The QR code opens the Digital Product Passport, shows compliance data and leads to brand content. Print is not the end — it's the entry point into one of the first ecosystems of its kind.

Your vision — shaped.

Your systems — connected.

Your complexity — translated.

Your direction — clear.

Your future — thought through.

PreQ is new — now even better.

Hand-picked — proven or vetted. Quality, reliability and on-time delivery are non-negotiable.

Where others fall short

There are print shops. There are compliance consultants. There are SaaS tools for digital product passports. And AI platforms for automation.

We have built one of the first ecosystems of its kind — with our own technology, our own platforms and our own production network. The market offers the individual pieces — the complete system comes from us.

Classic print shop

Prints physical products — but no digital labels, no compliance system, no platform behind it.

Compliance consultant

Knows the regulations — but produces nothing, generates no QR code, runs no platform.

SaaS compliance tool

Software for digital product passports — but no physical label, no own production chain.

AI platform

Automates content and data — but no production, no labels, no specific EU compliance substance.

One of the first ecosystems of its kind. Nameplate. Documentation. Compliance. One point of contact.

Four scenarios. Four problems. One solution.

Example: Mechanical engineering

From regulation to solution

Problem: EU-compliant labeling for all machines from 2027 — metal nameplate with serial number, CE documentation, QR code linking to the declaration of conformity. Software updates should automatically refresh the operating manual — in the technician's language.

Before: Four providers. Six weeks of coordination. With every software update, new manuals to print, translate and ship — weeks of delay, outdated documents in the technician's hands.

With PreQ: Stainless steel nameplate with serial number and QR code — permanent, MVO-compliant, at least ten years. Software update: new operating manual instantly behind the QR code, automatically in the technician's language. One point of contact.

Example: Packaging & DPP

From data set to product passport

Problem: ESPR mandates the Digital Product Passport — QR code, label print and EU-compliant data management system needed.

Before: Excel, external printer, separate DPP tool — three systems, every change made by hand.

With PreQ: Circularity Portal as the data layer, dynamic QR code, physical label — RegMonitor flags new obligations automatically.

Example: EU rollout

From twelve country versions to one data layer

Problem: Twelve EU markets, twelve slightly different labeling requirements — twelve sets of print data so far, maintained by hand.

Before: Every market launch a separate project. Corrections reached subsidiaries weeks later — if at all.

With PreQ: One central product database. Country-specific label data generated automatically. Standards change — all markets informed at once.

Example: Software update

Software update & documentation

Problem: A machine manufacturer regularly rolls out software updates. User interfaces change, new functions are added. The operating manual is outdated after every update — in 24 language versions.

Before: Translate, print, ship new manuals — weeks of delay. Technicians work with outdated documents. Complaints, misuse, liability risks.

With PreQ: A software update automatically triggers the updated operating manual behind the QR code. The technician scans — instantly the matching manual, automatically in their language. Always current. No paper. No delay. The MVO documentation obligation is fulfilled — automatically.

No system we know of combines a permanent nameplate, dynamic documentation and physical label in one workflow.
Our ecosystem — built for the future.

What do you want to know — and what should we tell you?

PreQ is one of the first ecosystems of its kind — it connects a permanent metal or stainless steel nameplate, the living documentation behind it and EU compliance in one system. Four regulatory pillars, physical and digital, one point of contact, from a single source, for all of Europe.

From the moment labeling, compliance and digital product data have to work together — regardless of company size.

No — and that's the advantage. No in-house machinery means: neutral, flexible, always the right partner for every requirement.

MVO 2023/1230, ESPR/DPP, EU Wine Regulation 2021/2117, GHS/CLP, CE, MDR, WEEE, RoHS, EU Cosmetics Regulation — and continuously updated via the RegMonitor.
