This research, a linguistic contrastive study of package inserts' texts from Germany and Brazil, was developed with the aim to verify differences and similarities between them. To achieve this purpose, 20 package inserts were compared in their macro and microstructure surfaces, after a detailed investigation of the genre's main characteristics. As a result of the analysis, it was possible to confirm the presence of convergences and divergences in the Brazilian and German package inserts and identify some reasons for their existence.
