If you are provided with an XML-file, please log in to the LUCID Packaging Register, select the 'Data reporting' tile and upload the file via the 'XML report' tile.The uploaded file must be a valid XML file with the correct schema.

This is worthwhile for all companies that distribute a larger number of brands or that can export brand names from a merchandise management system as an XML file.
