There was a UK promo CD which comes with a single-sided front insert with black printed text and without a back sleeve.

The same mistake with the title is replicated on the insert. The tracks are recorded and listed in a different order on the front insert. It also features the Hague mix of "You Wanted More" (3:38) which can be found on the "Lifelines" single. The "wea RECORDS LIMITED" logo has again been included on the insert at the bottom right hand corner, but there is no Catalogue number.

The regular German made album of "Lifelines" was also used as a promo in the UK, it comes with a white rectangular sticker on the front cover of the CD case showing some tour information and contact details; ""A-HA are back! The band release their 7th studio album ‘Lifelines’ on June 10th 2002 through WEA. ‘Lifelines’ is full of timeless melodies, irresistible hooks and classic pop that made A-HA such a phenomenon and the reason why so many bands choose to cover their past hits now!

The German made cassette of "Lifelines" has a similar front cover to the CD release and includes a long fold-out sleeve. Several of the usual artwork pictures taken from the CD booklet are also additionally shown, along with the full track listing printed in white, and some album credits. On the reverse and inside back cover of the folded sleeve displays the regular Manufacturing, Production and Copyright text which reads; "℗ & © 2002 Wea Records / Warner Music Group Germany GmbH & Co Holding Ohg. An AOL Time Warner Company. All rights of the producer and of the owner of the work reproduced reserved. Unauthorized copying, hiring, lending, public performance and broadcasting of this record prohibited. Made in Germany by WARNER MUSIC MANUFACTURING EUROPE".

On the right hand side, it includes either side 1 or 2, "120 µs" symbol and "DOLBY STEREO HX PRO B NR" logo. Along the bottom of side 1, it displays the same Copyright and Manufacturing information which is printed on the back sleeve. The Record Company Production and Copyright text; "℗ 2002 Wea Records/Warner Music Group Germany GmbH & Co Holding Ohg © 2002 Wea Records/Warner Music Group Germany GmbH & Co Holding Ohg" is instead displayed along the bottom of side 2.

There is also a promo cassette of Lifelines which comes in a white paper title sleeve. The tracks are printed in two columns in the middle of the sleeve with the title above. At the bottom of the sleeve the text the following text is printed: "P+C2001 WEA Records Germany / For Promotion Use Only". The WEA logo is printed in the bottom right hand corner. The cassette itself is transparent with white labels on which black text is printed.

There is a clear vinyl LP deluxe edition of "Lifelines" which was limited to only 50 copies. The front sleeve comes with the same regular artworks as the CD release, coloured red with the white arch-ways design along the bottom which is like the claws of a large red animal! The yellow a-ha logo and title "LIFELINES" in white are printed above. There is an additional round red and white sticker located in the top right-hand corner displaying "Deluxe Limited Edition" and the edition number between 1 and 50. In this case it’s 45/50. The reverse of the sleeve is plain red with a larger showing of the same yellow a-ha logo and white "LIFELINES" title which appears on the front sleeve and is set out in the centre, it is enclosed within a square made up of the full track listing to each side, printed in white with either "SIDE A, B C or D" in yellow. Additionally, at the bottom of the back sleeve is what appears to be an image of a golden disc with a white musical note printed in white alongside, and the initials "P.M" in brown on top. The inside of the album includes two more cardboard inner sleeves to house the two-clear vinyls. Both inner sleeves have images taken from the regular CD colour booklet. The first contains page 4 showing the image of a silver television set on a black chair printed on one side, whilst the reverse of the same sleeve, it instead contains the picture of the three a-ha band members sitting alone on red seating within an empty auditorium, which is taken from the back cover of the booklet. The second inner sleeve includes pages 16 and 17 which are split up to show the parked cars and white album credits on one side of the sleeve and the pedestrians, including the woman with the large pink hat walking along the pavement on the other. Also included with the album are six postcard sided black and white photos containing further pictures of the band members, some are again taken from the CD album booklet. The vinyl themselves are clear with stickered labels displaying the picture of the white arch-ways design taken from the front cover, the track listing on each is printed in white above with the appropriate "SIDE A, B, C or D" instead in yellow. The colour of each side label is however different, "SIDE A" is red, "SIDE B" is purple, "SIDE C" is blue and "SIDE D" is green. Neither the back sleeve nor any of the labels contain any Catalogue numbers or manufacturing information to say where the LP was produced or was released, so it appears to be unofficial.
