— September 30, 2022 — Marketing
The new Planters Peanuts packaging has been launched as a self-referential update to its branding to make the product even more easily identifiable on store shelves. The packaging features a peanut-shaped form that's curvaceous and easy to grasp for dosing out the perfect portion of the snack. The bottles are crafted with 8% less plastic than the previous version and boasts a 16-ounce capacity across its entire range of flavors including Salted, Unsalted, Lightly Salted, Sweet & Spicy and Honey Roasted.

The new Planters Peanuts packaging is being launched onto store shelves now and also features the recognizable Mr. Peanut mascot in a variety of different outfits, depending on the flavor. The branding also boasts large imagery of the product to highlight flavor and texture.
