Country of manufacturing / selling

[Soda can countries]

Hi,

When viewing the page to add a new can, you can fill in the country made for and the country made in.

On most cans, it says where it was bottled, along with a copyright notice etc.

But sometimes, when you check the barcode, it corresponds to a completely different country. What does that mean? Can I also figure out where the can is sold, if not in the same country as where it"s made/bottled?

I couldn't find any answers by browsing/searching the internet, I hope someone can answer it here

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Some cans are made in one country and only for sale in the other.

I will give some examples:

- Most Coca-cola cans for Switzerland are made in Austria.
- There was a time that Coca-cola cans for Holland were made in
France. Some collectors consider this a French can while other
collectors say this is a Dutch can, because the text is all in Dutch.

No need to look at the barcode to determen the country of origin.

Regards

Manufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances, furniture, sports equipment or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers.
