About this product
JPS Design Black is a German pack of 23 filter cigarettes in a flip-top box with cellophane, recorded by a cigarette-pack collection in 2010 under the EAN-8 barcode 40295398 with a price of 5 euros, tar 10 and nicotine 0.8, and Reemtsma as the producer.[1] It belongs to John Player Special, the cigarette line Imperial Brands launched in the United Kingdom in 1970 and sells in eighteen countries beyond it, chief among them Germany.[2] In Germany the brand is run by Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH of Hamburg, which publishes the German JPS site.[3]
The same collection records a companion JPS Design Yellow pack from Germany in 2010 with the same tar, nicotine and price under barcode 40295428.[1] The line takes its name and its black and gold livery from John Player & Sons of Nottingham, part of Imperial Tobacco since 1901, whose colours Team Lotus raced in Formula One from 1972 to 1986.[4]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 1 / 1 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 2 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- relationships · unknown: No source names the GS1 licensee of EAN-8 40295398, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge. GS1 Germany allocates EAN-8 numbers one at a time, so there is no company prefix to read from the number
- markets · stale: The only evidence for this barcode is the German 2010 pack; current German JPS Black listings carry other barcodes and 20-cigarette packs, so none of them is cited for this article
- specifications · unknown: The collection gives tar and nicotine as bare numbers without units, and no carbon monoxide figure
- images · unknown: No freely licensed front photograph of this pack was found; the zigsam.at pack photographs carry no licence
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
- schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
