Reeco vs Avery Dennison: which DPP provider for Italian fashion?

Avery Dennison (via atma.io) is a US labeling and RFID leader offering DPP-as-a-Service with a unique digital identity per item, ranked overall leader in ABI Research's DPP assessment. It excels at industrial-scale serialization. Reeco competes on a different axis: verification of the data, not just identity of the item.

The core difference

Verification vs scale

Avery Dennison's strength is scale and item-level digital identity across huge volumes. Reeco's is what the identity carries: each declaration is reconciled against its primary certification source, the DPP links to product-level evidence, and it is delivered as an open, independently verifiable credential (OID4VCI/SD-JWT) — testable at a public endpoint, not locked in one vendor's platform.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Reeco an alternative to Avery Dennison / atma.io?

Yes, on the issuance and verification layer. atma.io leads on item serialization at industrial scale; Reeco leads on verification at source, product-level evidence and open, wallet-ready credentials you can test publicly at ia.reeco.eco/dpp-issuer/.

Does Reeco lock me into a proprietary platform?

No. Reeco issues standards-based Verifiable Credentials (OID4VCI/SD-JWT) with a public JWKS; any verifier or wallet can validate them without a commercial relationship.

When is the EU DPP mandatory?

Textile DPP obligations and their application dates depend on the applicable delegated acts. The registry deadline does not establish a universal textile DPP obligation.
