Hello, Further to your request of 14 August regarding the shipment held under reference LOT-2026-0814, here is the documentation. Attached: the declaration of conformity for the inner pouch, the declaration for the carton, and the technical file behind each one, including the supplier sheets and the April 2026 migration report. One item is not attached and I would rather flag it than let you find it: the PFAS-free attestation for the carton varnish was requested from our supplier on 12 August and has not come back. A chase-up went out this morning, and I will forward the document on receipt, by 25 August at the latest. The extended producer responsibility registration number appears at the head of each declaration, for all three member states concerned. I remain reachable on this message for any further item. Compliance manager

The job

The EU packaging regulation has applied since 12 August 2026, with no national transposition and no size exemption. Three obligations land on day one: a declaration of conformity per packaging type, backed by a technical file; substance restrictions, including the ban on PFAS in food contact; and registration with the extended producer responsibility scheme in every member state where you sell. Producer and importer marking becomes mandatory, and online selling adds the empty-space rule. A market surveillance authority can hold a shipment and ask for the documentation within ten days. That is the deadline that hurts when no file exists. A lab produces those documents from your pasted specifications.

Under your own brand

It wears your name, not ours.

The same lab, under your name, your colours and your logo. Your customers never see ours.

Your business

Your colours, in one field.

Your logo and your favicon, on every public surface.

Your own address, on a verified domain.

On the Pro plan, and not needed to take a lab. A fully bespoke theme exists as an upgrade, hand built rather than self-serve.

Why not another web app built for your trade

Built around your business, not the average one.

What it knows, what it keeps and what it does are yours to write, and two businesses running the same idea end up with two different labs.

Its sources are not a closed list.

A vertical tool ships with the sources its vendor chose, and that is the ceiling. A lab can be pointed at the ones your business actually runs on, connected from your own accounts, and everything they bring back lands in your collections, which you own and can take with you.

A tool built for exactly your job, and only that, will go deeper at that one job. This is for the jobs nothing covers, or the ones spread across three tools today.

Questions · 6

We are six people. Is there no small-business exemption?

No. That is the peculiarity of this text and the reason it catches so many people out: it applies per type of packaging placed on the market, not per company size. A six-person brand owes the same declaration of conformity as a group, on every one of its packaging references.

My packaging supplier says they handle it.

Ask them to put it in writing, and look at what capacity they are acting in. Whoever places the packaging on the market under their own brand is not always whoever made it, and the declaration follows the obligation, not the purchase order. That is precisely the lab's first question: who is producer and who is importer on this reference.

What does an inspection actually look like?

Like a held shipment and a request for documentation within ten days. Ten days is short to write a technical file from nothing and plenty to fetch one already written. The whole difference sits there.

Do PFAS concern me if I sell cosmetics?

The ban in question covers food contact. The heavy metal limits do not stop at food. The lab does not guess your composition: it tells you which questions to put to your supplier, reference by reference, and flags the answers that are not answers.

And after 2026, is that it?

No, and that is why a living file beats a one-off document. Harmonised marking arrives in 2028, reuse and recyclability in 2030. Every new packaging reference reopens the same work. A maintained file gets updated; a PDF written in a panic gets rewritten.

Why this rather than a tool built for my trade?

A tool built for exactly brands, online sellers and small packers with no quality department and no design office, and only that, will go deeper at that one job. This lab is for the jobs no tool covers, or the ones spread across three tools today, and it runs under your name.
