Digital Product Passport • Real-world example • Starter plan
Digital Product Passport example: Leather belt maker (Germany)
This showcase demonstrates how a small product owner can publish a professional Digital Product Passport (DPP) with xProduct. Martin runs a leather workshop with around 10 belt SKUs. Using the Starter plan, he creates a public DPP page for each product and links it with a scannable QR code — helping customers, retailers and compliance teams access key product information quickly.
The passport content is built from templates (up to 6 templates per product on Starter), covering topics such as materials, manufacturing, certifications, carbon footprint and care instructions.
