Japanese potato chip product and packaging developments
Overview
In September 2026, Japanese snack companies introduced new potato chip packaging formats. Calbee announced the launch of small 24g bags exclusive to convenience stores, featuring interactive designs such as ‘omikuji (fortune) and message sections’.
Following this, CGC Group and Koikeya released ‘Tappuri Gisshiri W-Pack’, a line of large-capacity 110g bags. This product utilizes a ‘bite-sized cut’ manufacturing technique to double the contents while maintaining a standard package size, an initiative aimed at improving logistics efficiency and reducing packaging waste.
