GutenLex is the open and semantic standard of print — becoming the backbone technology of the print and graphic-arts industry, and a new way of doing business. Suppliers are a vital part of the value chain of every printed product: the Standard names you with a permanent identity, and systems, LLMs and AI agents configure everything from building blocks you helped define — resolving straight to the catalog you keep current.

Why join

Be the source, not a copy

Your identity is a canonical term in the open Standard — permanent URI, published with attribution. Your catalog is a sealed Supplier Profile you declare yourself: machines and material series, updated the day you launch them, never scraped and guessed.

Visible where decisions are made

PSPs, marketplaces, LLMs and AI agents configure printed products from the Standard's building blocks — and resolve your identity straight to the catalog you declare. Your machines and materials are part of every quote.

Free, open, yours to steward

Your identity lives in the open Standard (CC BY, Foundation-governed); your catalog lives in your own profile — no fee, no review queue, no lock-in. The generic building blocks your products embody — materials, coatings, technologies — still enter the Standard through you, with your trade names as searchable aliases.

How it works
1

Apply — on approval you get your personal Steward workspace.

2

Claim your identity and declare your catalog — machines, substrates and material series, with technology link and core specification.

3

Your identity and the generic building blocks are published in the Standard after review, attributed to your brand. Your catalog goes live in your sealed Supplier Profile the moment you publish it.
