GPSR Compliance Toolkit for Small Creative Businesses

If you’re a small creative business owner like me, you’ve probably felt overwhelmed and confused by the new EU product safety regulation (GPSR).

I sell art prints, stickers and other small products in the EU and figuring out what I actually needed to do felt like a maze. 

So I did some digging, asked around, and pulled together what I learned into a clear, simple toolkit made specifically for small creative businesses.

What’s inside:

- A product + batch tracking spreadsheet (Google Sheets)

- Pre-written care/safety/disposal label templates (Google Doc)

- An editable, printable order slip template (Canva)

- A step-by-step “Read Me” PDF to walk you through the setup

Everything’s written in plain language - no legal jargon, no corporate fluff. Just what you need to stay compliant and feel more in control.

Why This Toolkit Is Worth It

I created this for small creative businesses like mine,  because navigating all this legal stuff as an artist or maker can be very confusing.

Instead of reading through endless EU legislation or trying to guess what’s “compliant enough,” this toolkit gives you everything you actually need, in one place:

✅ A simple system to track your products and batches

✅ Ready-made safety, care, and disposal info you can use

✅ A printable slip to include in your orders

✅ Step-by-step instruction

This toolkit is meant for:
Artists, makers, and indie shop owners with a small scale operation selling things like prints, zines, stickers, pins, apparel, etc.

Important notes:

This resource is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Always consult a qualified professional if you're unsure about compliance requirements for your specific products or region.

THIS TOOLKIT IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT RESELL, REDISTRIBUTE, OR REPUBLISH ANY PART OF IT WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Thanks for supporting a fellow creative - you've got this!
