DataMatrix Label Printing & PDF Layouts — Chestny Znak and Electronic Mark

Print-ready PDF layouts, industrial thermal-transfer printing, or printing plus application at our warehouse near the EU border. Every code is checked with a verifier scanner before release.

Three formats of cooperation

PDF layouts online

The most economical option. We prepare the layouts with unique codes and hand over the file for printing on your side. Standard for clients in Poland, the EU and worldwide.

Full print-shop cycle

We obtain the codes, generate the layouts, print self-adhesive labels on industrial thermal-transfer equipment and hand over the finished batch as rolls or sheets. The most requested format.

Printing plus application

Labels are applied to your goods at our authorised warehouse near the EU border, so the consignment continues into Russia and the EAEU already compliant.

Print quality requirements we hold to

Code size

Minimum 10×10 mm, 12×12 mm recommended.

Material

Synthetic (PET) stock or lamination — resistant to moisture, abrasion and temperature swings.

We produce DataMatrix marking labels for the Chestny Znak (Russia) and Electronic Mark (Belarus) systems — from layout design to printed rolls and aggregation. Batches from 100 to 200,000 labels.

For foreign clients the most requested format is print-ready PDF layouts delivered online: you send the codes (or we obtain them for you), we generate a batch of unique labels — each with its own DataMatrix, expiry date and variable fields — and deliver the PDF by e-mail or file exchange the same day. You print on your own equipment; no shipping, no customs, no delay.

What each label contains

Every label is generated individually: a unique GS1 DataMatrix code, the GTIN, expiry date, importer or manufacturer details and the other mandatory fields required by the marking system. Source codes are accepted in any format — TXT, CSV, XLS, PDF, EPS.

Label sizes

The size is selected to match the product and the amount of mandatory data.

SizeTypical use
15×15 mmDataMatrix code only — the minimum; small unit products with no room for text
20×20 mmEnlarged code only, for more reliable scanning at the till
30×20 mmCode plus GTIN and number — cosmetics, perfumery, small packaging
43×25 mmCode, GTIN and a one-line name — universal for small goods
58×40 mmThe most requested format: DataMatrix, EAN-13, expiry date and mandatory fields
58×60 mmNear-square: name, colour, size, price — apparel and footwear

What determines the price

The main factor is batch volume — the larger the run, the lower the unit price. The label size and material, the number of expiry dates and SKUs within the batch (each requires its own variable-data layout), who obtains the codes (your account is cheaper; our full-service account requires no involvement on your side), and whether aggregation and application are required all enter the quotation. Urgent batches of up to 10,000 codes are produced on the day of request.

Aggregation and reporting

On request we link unit codes to group SSCC codes for boxes and pallets and file the application and aggregation reports in the marking system — the step that makes a consignment acceptable at wholesale receiving in Russia and Belarus.

Before ordering, the structure of your codes can be checked free of charge in our marking-code validator, and a sample label can be generated in the DataMatrix generator — both tools run directly in the browser.

Frequently asked questions

Can you deliver ready label layouts as PDF files online?
Yes — this is the standard format for foreign clients. We generate a batch of unique labels as a print-ready PDF and deliver the file by e-mail or file exchange, so you can print on your own equipment anywhere in the world. Printed self-adhesive rolls or sheets, and application at our warehouse, are also available.
In what format should we send the marking codes?
Any format is accepted: TXT, CSV, XLS, PDF, EPS. If you do not yet have codes, we order and obtain them on your behalf — either through your account in the marking system or through our service-provider account.
Do we need a Russian or Belarusian legal entity to order labels?
No. We work with foreign manufacturers and exporters directly. Codes can be obtained through your importer’s registration or through our service-provider account; the layouts and printed labels are supplied to you under a standard service contract.
Do you print codes for both Chestny Znak (Russia) and Electronic Mark (Belarus)?
Yes, for both systems. The two systems exchange data, so goods destined for both markets do not need to be marked twice. Electronic Mark codes are produced in the GS1 DataMatrix format required in Belarus; Chestny Znak codes are produced for circulation and export to Russia. The printing and verification technology is identical — only the code structure and label fields differ, and we configure them per system.
What are the technical requirements for a printed DataMatrix code?
Minimum code size 10×10 mm (12×12 mm recommended), sharp module edges and sufficient contrast, and a material that survives the supply chain — synthetic (PET) label stock or lamination for moisture and abrasion resistance. Every code is checked with a verifier scanner before release.
How large a batch can you handle, and how fast?
From 100 to 100,000–200,000 labels per batch. Urgent batches of up to 10,000 codes are produced on the day of request; standard batches within 1–3 days. Volume is the main price factor — the unit price in a 100,000-label batch is several times lower than in a batch of 100.
Can you also aggregate the batch?
Yes. On request we generate group SSCC codes for boxes and pallets (aggregation) and file the corresponding reports in the marking system — this is what makes the consignment acceptable at wholesale receiving.
Does your print shop hold an official status?
Yes. The ProMarkirovka print shop (legal name PTUE “Komplekt-M”) is included in the official list of printing houses prepared to produce packaging and self-adhesive materials for product marking, published by the operator of Belarus’s national marking system “Electronic Mark”.
