e-label Management Tool v 1.22.0​

This release brings new packaging information fields in preparation for PPWR, clearer translation status indicators, a regulation-aligned nutrition display, and an expanded base product selection for aromatised wine.

PPWR preparation​

Packaging information and business operator contacts

In preparation for PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), e-labels now support packaging manufacturer details:

  • New "Packaging information" subsection in Sustainability, alongside Recyclability and Organic — with a translatable "Manufactured by" label, company name, and contact.

  • Contact field for business operators — each business operator type now has a Contact field, and a type is only displayed if at least the company name or address is filled in.

Translation status​

Clearer translation status for e-labels

  • The language list now shows "xx languages are not fully translated" instead of the previous "xx languages published" message.

  • A yellow dot appears on the Translation tab and next to each language with missing translations, with a "Not fully translated" tooltip on hover. The dot disappears once all fields for that language are translated.

  • Fields with missing translations keep the yellow highlight.

Nutrition declaration​

Regulation-aligned nutrition display

  • kJ/kcal display — energy in the per 100g/100ml column now follows the regulation layout. When a per-portion or %RI column is shown (Food and Beverage templates), the stacked layout is kept for clarity.

  • Sub-nutrients formatting — a long dash (—) is now shown in front of sub-nutrients (e.g. "of which — saturates", "of which — sugars") in all templates.

Aromatised wine​

Expanded base product selection for aromatised wine

Previously, aromatised wine templates defaulted to "still wine" as the only base product. A different base, such as de-alcoholised or sparkling wine, had to be added manually, which skipped the regulatory translations and required manual translation review for every language.

  • The field "Aromatised Wine Type" has been renamed to "Base grapevine product" to better reflect what it actually selects.

  • The dropdown now includes the full list of base grapevine products — wine, sparkling and semi-sparkling variants, grape must variants, liqueur wine, and more — each with its de-alcoholised and partially de-alcoholised versions, all with regulatory translations included.
