Packaging for Hanover
What a food pack sold in Hanover has to show
Food and drink packs sold in Germany follow the EU food information rules. Three of them shape the design itself, so we plan them before artwork starts.
Text size
Mandatory text at 1.2 mm x-height
All mandatory food information in a font with an x-height of at least 1.2 mm, or 0.9 mm if the largest surface of the pack is under 80 cm².
Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (food information), EUR-Lex
Field of vision
Name and quantity seen together
The name of the food and its net quantity must be in the same field of vision, and so must the alcoholic strength on drinks over 1.2% alcohol.
Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (food information), EUR-Lex
Food contact
Packaging marked for food use
Materials sold empty that are meant to touch food carry the words “for food contact”, a specific indication of their use, or the wine glass and fork symbol.
Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 (food contact), EUR-Lex
Before your pack goes on sale in Germany
What packaging sold in Germany has to meet
5 checks, in this order. Each links to its official source: German federal law (gesetze-im-internet.de), the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister or EUR-Lex.
Check first
Since 12 August 2026, the EU packaging regulation and the VerpackDG apply.
On 12 August 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the German Packaging Law Implementation Act (VerpackDG) replaced the old Packaging Act. Registration, system participation and data reporting stay; who has to do them is now decided differently.
Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister: Was seit dem 12. August 2026 gilt (German) · Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR), EUR-Lex
- Check 1: Register in LUCID before you sell Producers register with the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (LUCID) before they first make packaging available in Germany, with the brand names they sell under. A company that sells products under its own name or brand counts as the producer. § 6 VerpackDG (registration), gesetze-im-internet.de · Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister: Was seit dem 12. August 2026 gilt (German)
- Check 2: Join a system for household packaging Packaging that typically ends up as waste in private households must be registered with one or more systems before it goes on sale, stating material type and weight. § 7 VerpackDG (system participation), gesetze-im-internet.de · Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister: registering in LUCID (German)
- Check 3: Report your packaging data Report the data you give your system to the Zentrale Stelle as well. If you made available less than 10 tonnes of such packaging in the previous calendar year, you report once a year, by 1 June of the following year. § 9 VerpackDG (data reports), gesetze-im-internet.de
- Check 4: Check the declaration of completeness Due each year by 15 May, checked by a registered expert. You are exempt if in the previous year you stayed below these amounts: glass less than 80 tonnes, paper and cardboard less than 50 tonnes, other materials less than 30 tonnes. § 10 VerpackDG (declaration of completeness), gesetze-im-internet.de
- Check 5: Label food in German The mandatory particulars of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 must be in German in Germany: name of the food, ingredients with allergens, net quantity, best before or use by date, and the name and address of the food business. § 2 LMIDV (labels in German), gesetze-im-internet.de · Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (food information), EUR-Lex

Questions buyers ask
Packaging design in Hanover: FAQ
Ask us on a call
How much does packaging design cost in Hanover?
The same everywhere, in euros: €1,500 for a pack strategy consultation, from €2,000 for one SKU (4 to 6 weeks) and from €10,000 for a full range (6 to 10 weeks). Larger portfolios are quoted individually. Fixed scope, no setup fees. Details on our Packaging page.
How long does a packaging design project take?
A single SKU takes 4 to 6 weeks. A full range pack system takes 6 to 10 weeks: strategy and audit (weeks 1-2), structural and visual design (weeks 3-7), print-ready handoff and launch (weeks 8-10). A strategy consultation takes 2 to 3 weeks.
What happens in the first step?
Every engagement starts with a pack strategy consultation, and the scope is locked before any design work begins. The consultation (€1,500, one-time) is a paid strategy session, separate from our free 30-minute call: a 90-minute discovery interview, a category and shelf audit of your top 5 competitors, a recommendation memo with priorities and a follow-up call within 14 days. If you are not sure yet, start with the free 30-minute call: bring your product, your range or your current pack.
Can you work with our existing dieline or pack structure?
Yes. Our Starter project for a single SKU includes structural design or dieline adaptation, so we can use your existing dieline. Full range projects include structural design across the range: form, dieline, materials and structural prototyping.
Do you deliver print-ready files, check barcodes and work with our printer?
Yes. You get production-ready files your print partner can take straight to plate: dielines, color separations, retailer compliance and barcode validation. Single SKU projects include barcode and retailer compliance validation; full range projects add retailer compliance verification per market, launch planning and the handoff to your print partner.
Do you have an office in Hanover?
Our nearest office is in Frankfurt, 262 km from Hanover in a straight line (Taunustor 1, 60310 Frankfurt am Main). We share your time zone, so calls happen in normal working hours. Workshops run by video, or in person at our Frankfurt office.
Which packaging rules apply in Germany, and do I have to register in LUCID?
Yes, if you are the producer. Since 12 August 2026, the EU packaging regulation (PPWR) and the VerpackDG apply. Producers register with the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (LUCID) before they first make packaging available, join a system for packaging that ends up as household waste and report their data. Companies based abroad that sell directly to end customers in Germany without a German branch must appoint an authorised representative; registering in LUCID stays their own duty. Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister: Was seit dem 12. August 2026 gilt (German) § 6 VerpackDG (registration), gesetze-im-internet.de § 7 VerpackDG (system participation), gesetze-im-internet.de
What must a food label show in Germany?
The name of the food, the ingredients with allergens, the net quantity, a best before or use by date and the name and address of the food business, in German. Mandatory text needs an x-height of at least 1.2 mm (0.9 mm on packs whose largest surface is under 80 cm²). The name, the net quantity and, on drinks over 1.2% alcohol, the alcoholic strength go in the same field of vision. Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (food information), EUR-Lex § 2 LMIDV (labels in German), gesetze-im-internet.de
