This image provenance record compares Marlboro Red vs Marlboro Hard White, the two Marlboro cartons that sit side by side in the Qyvaxon catalogue and are easy to mix up in a photo. The records are Marlboro Red Cigarettes (SKU SS-302) and Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition Cigarettes (SKU SS-313). Both cartons share the same AUD price — A$195.50 sale, A$230.00 regular — and both are in stock, so price alone will not separate them. The short answer: check the SKU on the record page first, then confirm the pack colour in the image. If you ordered the classic red Marlboro carton, your record is SS-302; if you ordered the white US Edition carton, your record is SS-313.
Marlboro Red vs Marlboro Hard White: Side-by-Side Record
The table below is read directly from the WooCommerce records via the site API. Both are simple products sold as one carton of ten packs, priced in Australian dollars.
| Detail | Marlboro Red (SS-302) | Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition (SS-313) |
|---|---|---|
| SKU | SS-302 | SS-313 |
| Record title | Marlboro Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) |
| Carton contents | 1 carton, 10 packs | 1 carton, 10 packs |
| Sale price (AUD) | A$195.50 | A$195.50 |
| Regular price (AUD) | A$230.00 | A$230.00 |
| Stock status | In stock | In stock |
| Pack appearance in image record | Red carton face | White carton face with US Edition text |

Because the two records share a brand, a price and a hard-box format, the visual record matters: a photo alone can be ambiguous, and the SKU is the deciding field.
Image Evidence and Source Verification
Each product page in the Qyvaxon Image Provenance Register carries one carton image, registered with an ID, a load result and dimensions. Both images below were verified by direct GET requests to the media library before publication; neither returned an error.
The Marlboro Red record uses media ID 84, a PNG at 300 x 300 pixels. It loads successfully and appears on /product/marlboro-red, with recorded alt text “Marlboro Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs)”.
The Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition record uses media ID 86, a JPG at 800 x 600 pixels. It loads successfully and appears on /product/marlboro-hard-white-us-edition, with recorded alt text “Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs)”. In the provenance workflow the image is auxiliary evidence; the authoritative fields are the record title and the SKU.
How to Tell the Two Cartons Apart in a Photo
If you are looking at a single carton photo and need to decide whether it belongs to SS-302 or SS-313, use these checks in order. This is the Marlboro Red vs Marlboro Hard White difference in practice.
- Pack colour. The Marlboro Red record shows a red carton face; the Hard White US Edition record shows a white carton face. Colour is the fastest cue, but it is not proof on its own — lighting and filters can shift it.
- Edition wording. The white carton image carries the US Edition line on the pack. Marlboro Red has no edition wording in its image record.
- SKU on the record page. Open the product page and read the SKU field. SS-302 is Marlboro Red; SS-313 is the Hard White US Edition. When an image and a SKU disagree, the SKU wins.
- Price will not help. As of this record, both cartons are A$195.50 on sale and A$230.00 regular, so a price tag alone cannot separate them.
If you keep a carton photo from your order history, compare it against both image records above before assuming which SKU it matches. The same discipline applies across the catalogue: the 2026 cigarette carton photo guide shows how brand families differ, and the Marlboro guide lists every Marlboro record with its carton price.
Which One Should You Choose?
For a lunch-break decision, the answer is short. If you intend to order the classic red Marlboro carton, select the record with SKU SS-302. If you intend to order the white US Edition carton, select SKU SS-313. Both are in stock at the same AUD price, so the deciding factor is which edition matches the carton you expect, not the price.
When comparing Marlboro price Australia listings, remember the sale price shown on the product page is the current price and the regular price is the reference. As of 15 August 2026, both records here show A$195.50 sale and A$230.00 regular. For cross-brand comparison, the complete Australian carton price list covers all 28 SKUs, and the Marlboro Cigarettes Australia guide covers the Marlboro range in full.
FAQ
Are Marlboro Red and Marlboro Hard White the same product?
No. They are two separate catalogue records with different SKUs — SS-302 for Marlboro Red and SS-313 for the Hard White US Edition — and different pack appearances, though they share the same carton price.
How can I tell them apart from the image?
Check the pack colour first (red vs white), then look for the US Edition wording on the white pack, and finally confirm the SKU printed on the product page. The SKU is the authoritative field.
Do both cartons cost the same?
Yes. As of 15 August 2026 both are A$195.50 sale with a regular price of A$230.00, in Australian dollars for one carton of ten packs.
Does the photo prove the product is genuine?
No. Qyvaxon registers images as provenance evidence — where an image appears, how it loads and its dimensions — and does not make authenticity determinations.
How many packs are in one carton?
Ten. Both SS-302 and SS-313 are sold as one carton containing ten packs, the standard Australian adult tobacco carton format on this site.
This record is published by Qyvaxon, an 18+ adult tobacco catalogue for Australia. All products are sold in cartons of ten packs, priced in Australian dollars, and are intended for Australian adults aged 18 and over only.
