What a GPSR label needs
Since 13 December 2024 the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 applies to almost every non-food consumer product sold to people in the EU — in shops, on marketplaces and by direct shipping. For the label, four things matter:
- Product identification — a type, batch or serial number (Art. 9(5)).
- Manufacturer — name or registered trade mark, postal address and an electronic address such as an email or website (Art. 9(6)).
- EU responsible person — if the manufacturer is outside the EU, the name, postal and electronic address of the economic operator in the EU who is responsible for the product (Art. 16(3)).
- Warnings and safety information in a language consumers in the destination country easily understand (Art. 9(7)).
An EU importer adds its own name and contact details too (Art. 11(3)). Products with their own EU rules — toys, cosmetics, electrical equipment, textiles — must also follow those rules.
How to make your label
- Fill in the manufacturer and the EU responsible person once — the form remembers them in this browser.
- Add the product name, model and batch number.
- Pick the languages of the countries you sell to and tick the warnings that apply. Add symbols (CE, WEEE bin, 0–3 years) and a QR code if you need them.
- Choose your label size and download the PDF. Print at 100% / actual size.
Selling many SKUs? Use the CSV batch. Need the same details for your listing? Copy the Article 19 listing text under the preview.
Printing on a thermal label printer
The label PDF has exactly one label per page at the real size, so thermal printers (Zebra, Rollo, Munbyn, Xprinter, Brother QL, DYMO and others) print it without scaling. In the printer driver choose the same paper size (for example 50 × 30 mm or 100 × 150 mm), set scaling to 100% / actual size, and print one test label before the whole roll.

Frequently asked questions
Is the GPSR label generator really free?
Yes. One label at a time is free in every thermal size, as PDF or PNG, with any number of copies, all 22 languages, symbols and QR code — no watermark and no sign-up. A one-time Pro pass adds CSV batches, A4/Letter label sheets, custom sizes and your logo.
Do I need an EU responsible person on the label?
If the manufacturer is established outside the EU, GPSR Article 16 requires an economic operator in the EU (manufacturer, importer, authorised representative or fulfilment service provider) for the product, and Article 16(3) requires its name and contact details on the product, packaging, parcel or an accompanying document. For CE-marked products such as toys and electrical equipment, Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4 sets the same rule. If the manufacturer is in the EU, tick “The manufacturer is established in the EU”.
Which languages do the warnings need?
A language consumers in the country of sale easily understand, as set by that member state — in practice the official language(s) of each country you ship to. Selling on all Amazon EU marketplaces usually means German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish and Swedish.
Is my product information uploaded?
No. The label, PDF, PNG and ZIP files are built by JavaScript in your browser. Our server only counts anonymous events such as “a PDF was downloaded”.
Does this label make my product compliant?
No tool can promise that. The label puts the information GPSR asks for in one place; product safety, the right responsible person and product-specific rules (toys, cosmetics, electrical) are your responsibility. This site is general information, not legal advice.
