EU GPSR Product Labeling Guide: Sizes, Symbols, Warnings & Languages

Detailed specifications for GPSR packaging labels: dimensions, barcode placement, multi-language warnings, and EU Responsible Person layout rules.

# EU GPSR Product Labeling Guide: Sizes, Symbols, Warnings & Languages Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 dictates strict product marking rules. A compliance document alone is not enough—the physical label on the product or packaging must be legally compliant. --- ## What Must Appear on the Physical Label? 1. **Product Identifier**: Type, batch, lot, or serial number. 2. **Manufacturer Details**: Legal trade name and physical postal address + single point of electronic contact (website or email). 3. **EU Responsible Person Details**: Legal name and physical postal address + electronic contact (for non-EU sellers). 4. **Mandatory Warnings in Local Language**: Warnings must be provided in the official language of every EU member state where the product is sold (e.g., German in Germany/Austria, French in France/Belgium). 5. **CE Mark** (if applicable under CE directives): At least 5mm in height. --- ## Label Dimensions & Print Specs - Standard sizes supported by thermal and offset printers: **3x4 cm**, **4x6 cm**, or **A4**. - Resolution: Minimum **300 DPI** to ensure barcodes and small text remain scannable and legible. **GPSRPilot Label Studio** generates ready-to-print 300 DPI PDF and PNG labels formatted to these exact statutory standards.
