bluesign verify QR code
=======================

The QR code on its own. A transition tool, not a standalone bluepass asset.

This QR code lets partners add a link to the bluesign-controlled verification
page (bluesign.com/verify) to existing legacy bluesign(R) PRODUCT and
bluesign(R) APPROVED labels during the transition period.


When to use it
--------------

Use this QR code only on existing labels carrying the bluesign(R) PRODUCT or
bluesign(R) APPROVED marks, while you transition to the new bluepass artwork.

For all new label production, use the full bluepass label artwork:
- bluepass-Consumer-Product-label.zip
- bluepass-Article-label.zip
- bluepass-Chemical-Product-label.zip

Or the Mark + QR label if space is limited:
- bluepass-Mark-QR-label.zip

The bluepass Transition Guideline explains when and how to use this QR code,
including current compliance deadlines and what to do with existing label
stock. Refer to the Transition Guideline before applying this QR code to any
label.
