The generator offers five formats; JPG and WebP encoding depends on browser support. Each has one job. This guide tells you which file to use on your product page, on a marketplace, in an email and in print, and what the file names mean.
Key point: SVG or PNG for your own site, PNG or JPG for marketplaces, the full colour label for emails, and the CMYK PDF at 95 × 100 mm for anything printed.
Overview
| Channel | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Your product pages | SVG, or PNG | colour, legible at default size |
| Marketplaces | PNG or JPG | colour, 1200 px wide |
| Confirmation email, newsletter | PNG or JPG | full label, not the nested strip |
| Packaging, shelf tags, hang tags | PDF (CMYK) | 95 × 100 mm minimum, scale proportionally |
| Flyers, leaflets, posters | PDF (CMYK) | full label, 95 × 100 mm minimum |
SVG for your own site
SVG is a vector format. It stays sharp at any size and is small. Use it on your own product pages if your shop system accepts SVG images. It is also the right input for a designer who lays out a banner or a printed piece and needs the label as an editable object.
Do not edit the SVG beyond placing it. The fixed elements, colours and proportions must stay unchanged.
PNG, JPG and WebP for marketplaces and shops
Raster formats are exported at 1200 px wide, a starting point for product galleries and marketplace listings; check legibility in the actual placement. There is no size selector; if a platform needs a different size, scale the SVG in your image tool.
- PNG: lossless, white background, best quality. Use it wherever it is accepted.
- JPG: universal, no transparency. Use it for marketplaces that reject PNG.
- WebP: lossy in this tool and often smaller than PNG; it is not equivalent to lossless PNG. Use it on your own site if your shop system serves WebP.
All raster files are in RGB colour, which is what the Commission’s guidelines prescribe for digital display. Online, the colour label is mandatory; see GARAN label online.
The nested strip
The nested strip is available in all supported formats, including CMYK PDF. It is for online use only: your integration must reveal the full label on the first click, roll-over or touch. The downloaded image or PDF does not implement that behaviour. Use the full label on a marketplace or in email unless the platform supports compliant expansion. For ordinary online image display, use the RGB SVG or raster files.
PDF for print
The full-label PDF is a vector file at exactly 95 × 100 mm, the minimum size in physical shops, with CMYK colours from Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2025/1960. Hand it to your packaging designer or print shop as it is. It can be scaled up, as long as the whole label scales proportionally.
The QR code in the PDF is 2 × 2 cm or larger at the minimum size. Test it after printing; see GARAN label in print and in store.
The generator produces the colour version only. For black-and-white print, use the official Commission files.
File naming
Every exported file is named from the three editable fields: brand, model identifier and duration, followed by the variant and the extension. The same input always produces the same file name, on every device. In batch mode this lets you match files in the ZIP to rows in your spreadsheet by name.
Special characters in brand or model names are simplified in the file name; the label preserves supported characters. Unsupported glyphs must be resolved without inventing or changing the producer’s model identifier. File-name collisions in a batch receive numbered suffixes.
FAQ
Which format do I send to my supplier or agency?
Send the SVG for digital work and the PDF for print. Both are vector files and carry the exact colours.
Can I get a higher resolution than 1200 px?
Not from the generator. Export the SVG and rasterise it at the size you need in your image tool, keeping the proportions.
Does the PDF contain the fonts?
It does not need them. The brand, model and duration are converted to vector outlines of the Inter typeface, so the PDF prints identically everywhere without installing fonts.
