We at Stensan are excited to announce a significant enhancement to our labelling services. As Germany expands its mandatory requirements for deposit container labelling, Stensan is at the forefront, ready to meet these new challenges.
Understanding the DPG System
The DPG (Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH) tare deposit system has been operational in Germany since 2005. It requires a uniform packaging labelling standard across various product categories. The system is designed to streamline recycling and environmental sustainability efforts.
Our Unique Position in the Baltic States
Stensan proudly stands as the only company in the Baltic States authorized to print labels with the DPG deposit mark. This certification is not just a mark of distinction; it's a testament to our commitment to quality and compliance with stringent European Union standards. Our ability to print DPG labels ensures we adhere to all requirements regarding color, equipment, and quality.
Implications for Exporters
For companies exporting juices, water, lemonade, beer, and other light alcoholic beverages to Germany, DPG labelling is already a mandate. However, starting from January 1, 2024, this requirement will extend to all dairy products in plastic bottles ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 liters. This change means that products without the DPG label cannot be sold in Germany.
Adapting to New Requirements
We understand the challenges our clients might face adapting to these new requirements. To avoid the wastage of existing labels, we recommend the production of new additional labels. These can be affixed over existing labels, ensuring products comply with the updated trade standards.
The DPG label printing process is intricate, requiring specific DPG inks and adherence to strict quality controls. Stensan has undergone rigorous certification processes and annual inspections to maintain this capability. Our commitment is reflected in the precision and compliance of our DPG label printing, verified through authorized manufacturer's testing equipment.
Our Growing Capabilities
We offer DPG labels in various formats, including self-adhesive, shrink sleeves, and wrap-around labels. With our state-of-the-art printing facility, we have significantly increased our capacity to produce wrap-label printing volumes.
As we embrace these new opportunities, Stensan is dedicated to providing our clients with the highest standard of labelling solutions. Our DPG label printing service is a step forward in meeting the evolving needs of our clients and contributing to global sustainability efforts.
