Coca-Cola retains absolute dominance of the UK carbonate category with around 25% of all volume accounted for by its Coke and Diet Coke brands, with Pepsi variants taking around 11%. Packaging Just prior to Christmas 2002, the Coca-Cola company announced that there would be major packaging makeovers by the end of 2003 for Diet Coke, Coke Classic and Sprite. The new cola packs are to feature the famous 'Coke ribbon', while removing the 'Enjoy Coca-Cola' line.

For instance, we used to mark the bottler caps, and then Coca Cola decided to have the glass itself so that the message could be read even after the bottle had been opened. Marking is important as it enables CCE to have quality control and to keep track of our bottles and cans, making sure that the level of quality is respected. While the message includes a batch number, the date (day, month, year), the hour and minute and Coca Cola code that identifies the place of bottling and even the number of the line..
