What Enterprise DPP Tools Cost Per Year
The Challenge

The regulation doesn't care about your company size.

Mandatory

DPP is not optional. Every EU textile and apparel manufacturer must comply or lose market access. There is no exemption for small manufacturers.

Complex

The data model spans materials, supply chain actors, certifications, and lifecycle events. Getting it wrong — or late — has real consequences for market access.

Underserved

Enterprise tools start at €15,000 per year. SMEs with no compliance team and no budget have had no real option. Until now.

Step 01

The garment is manufactured.

Before any EU textile product reaches market, a Digital Product Passport must exist. Tracelia begins where the product begins.

Step 02

The label holds the truth.

Material composition, country of origin, care instructions, recyclability rating. Tracelia structures all of it to the ESPR data model automatically.

Step 03

A unique code is generated.

A QR code is assigned to the product. Every item traceable. Every audit request answerable in seconds.

Step 04

The data is always there.

Consumer scans. Regulator checks. The full passport — standardised, permanent, compliant — is always accessible.

Frequently Asked

Questions about the regulation.

Textile and apparel DPP requirements are expected to be published in 2028, with a compliance window beginning immediately after. If you sell garments or footwear in the EU market, you should be preparing now — the compliance window will not be long.

Under ESPR Article 10, a DPP must include material composition, supply chain information, repair and recycling instructions, and sustainability credentials. Tracelia structures all required fields automatically to the current data model.

Non-compliant products can be banned from EU market access. Depending on the member state, penalties may include fines and mandatory product recalls. The regulation applies to all products sold in the EU regardless of where they are manufactured.

A complete Digital Product Passport can be created in approximately 15 minutes for a new product. Subsequent passports for the same product line take significantly less time using saved templates.

No. Tracelia sends data requests to suppliers via a simple web form — they need no account and no software. You review and approve their inputs before they become part of the passport.

Our compliance team monitors ESPR delegated acts and regulatory updates continuously. When requirements change, Tracelia's data model updates automatically. Your passports remain compliant without any action on your part.
