Digital Product Passport

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a public record of one product: what it is made of, where it was made, its environmental impact, its certifications, and how to care for it and dispose of it. People open it by scanning a QR code on the product or its label.

Product

A product is one style in your catalogue, such as “Aran cable-knit jumper”. It holds the data that is the same for every size and colour: name, category, materials, origin, supply chain, care and so on.

Variant

A variant is one version of a product that you sell, usually a size and colour combination. Each variant can have its own GTIN, SKU and weight.

Passport

A passport is the public page for one variant. A product with five variants has five passports. A product without variants has one. Your plan’s passport limit counts passports, not products. See Plans and the free trial.

GTIN

A GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is the number under a product’s barcode, issued through GS1. LUXIMA accepts GTINs of 8, 12, 13 or 14 digits and checks the check digit. A variant with a valid GTIN gets a GS1 Digital Link as its passport link. This is the standard link format for product passports, so we recommend adding GTINs where you have them.

Luxima ID

Every variant also gets a Luxima ID. A variant without a valid GTIN uses a link based on its Luxima ID instead. That link keeps working if you add a GTIN later.

QR code

Each live passport has a QR code that opens its public page. You print it on a label, a hang tag or packaging. You can download QR codes one at a time from the product editor, or for many products at once from the Passports page.

Passport status

Each passport is in one of three states: See Completeness and status.

Company defaults

Details you set once for the whole company, such as certifications, packaging and care instructions. New products start with them, so you do not enter the same data on every product. See Product defaults.
