(THERE IS NOT A UPC ON THIS BOX , NO PAMPERS POINTS, BUT THERE IS A ZIP CODE IN THE ADDRESS FOR PROCTOR AND GAMBLE) According to all the information I could find  online , zip codes were mandated in 1967 & the tapes were introduced in 1971. AT THE TIME THESE WERE MADE, THERE WERE ONLY  3  TYPES OF PAMPERS SHOWN ON THE BOX--NEWBORN ,DAYTIME & THE OVERNIGHT.THE BOX , AS PREVIOUSLY  STATED, IS UN-OPENED. I TRIED TO SHOW WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS THE "IMPERFECTIONS" OF THE BOX, JUST SOME SLIGHT INDENTATIONS OR PUSHING OF THE EDGES. THERE IS NOT ANY DISCOLORATION OF THE  "ARTWORK" ON THE BOX. THE BABY ON THESE EARLY BOXES WAS A LARGE PART OF THE DECORATION ON THE PACKAGING, NOT A CIRCLE OR OVAL AS IT CAME TO BE AS PAMPERS EVOLVED.THIS IS SUCH A GREAT BLAST FROM MY INFANCY. I TOLD MY MOM THE DIRECTIONS FOR "DISPOSAL" AFTER USE MADE IT SOUND EASIER TO USE CLOTH. SHE TOLD ME THAT'S WHY SHE DID.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT MY AUCTION!On May-18-08 at 18:29:17 PDT, seller added the following information:THESE DO HAVE THE PLASTIC EXTERIOR. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO "RINSE OUT" THE ABSORBENT INTERIOR IN THE TOILET THEN WRAP IN THE DISPOSABLE PLASTIC LINER TO THROW AWAY. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THESE IS YOU HAD TO PIN THEM BECAUSE THE TAPES HAD NOT BEEN "INVENTED" OR IMPLEMENTED FOR THE PAMPERS YET.On May-20-08 at 20:13:29 PDT, seller added the following information:http://www.regotrading.com/Pampers-Diapers.htmlThe above link  will take you to a site that has a video & brief written time-line for Pampers evolution.
