Calbee officially announces monochrome packaging for 14 products, starting on the 25th as a “temporary measure”; could it be due to a naphtha shortage?

Calbee said it will switch 14 product packages to a two-color print design after supply concerns tied to heightened Middle East tensions.

The change is set to begin rolling out in stores during the week of May 25.

The move highlights how logistics and raw material constraints are affecting packaging specs and supply stability for consumer foods.
