Why free e-labels may cost more in the long run
Free tools solve today's compliance needs. But what happens when regulations change, the service shuts down, or your brand needs more?
The hidden risks of free e-label tools
Data export
Check whether you can export your wine data and where your QR codes will forward after cancellation.
Service discontinuation
Free tools have no business model to guarantee long-term availability. If they shut down, your labels go dark.
Generic appearance
Check which design options a plan offers and which cost extra.
Slow regulatory updates
Free tools often lack resources to keep up with changing EU regulations, leaving you potentially non-compliant.
