Each package is intended for a different locale (country and/or language). Sometimes, this can be just a sticker that has been added. Lidl-products are a good example of this; | ||
* Marketing - The product (ingredients/nutritional values/etc) did not change. However the packaging evolved. Examples are Coca Cola, Perrier, etc; | |||
* Evolutions - In this case the product has been changed and thus the package as well; | |||
* Instances - the product as bought by a consumer with its own expiry date, purchase place and possibly producer-code; | |||
