Calbee Inc. Adjusts Snack Packaging Due to Iran War's Impact on Ink Supply
Calbee Inc., a Tokyo-based company known for its popular snacks, is altering the packaging of some of its products due to disruptions in the ink supply caused by the ongoing war in Iran. The conflict has led to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, impacting the availability of naphtha, a key oil-related product used in ink production. As a result, Calbee will limit the ink colors on 14 of its products to black-and-white starting May 25. Despite the packaging changes, the contents of the snacks remain unchanged. This move is part of Calbee's strategy to maintain a stable supply of products amid changing geopolitical conditions.
