:I presume you mean [[:File:Dg milk containers.jpg]]. The old bottle is probably ok either as simple text or no notice and could be cropped out separately, but the modern carton is clearly copyrighted and can't stay here. You could try moving to WP as fair use but they are pretty stringent as to what they permit. Product labels here do not get as much scrutiny as they should get.

:: I agree with Dankarl, the bottle is fine as there it does not get over the bar of [[Commons:Threshold of originality|threshold of originality]], however the carton does and is clearly copyrighted, I think a claim of fair use would be acceptable at enwp.
