Jif Unveils First Major Packaging Redesign in Over 30 Years

J.M. Smucker says brighter tri‑color branding, on‑pack recipe prompts, new squeezable formats aim to modernize Jif without changing its formula.

Overview

  • The company announced the brand’s first major visual update in more than three decades and said the change is intentionally aesthetic rather than a recipe change.
  • The refreshed look brightens Jif’s red, blue and green stripes, removes the logo’s drop shadow, and uses clearer lettering and new product photography to signal broader use occasions.
  • Jif is adding squeezable packaging and new varieties, including a Peanut Butter & Chocolate spread and an unsweetened Jif Simply line for no-sugar-added shoppers.
  • The new packaging and SKUs will begin appearing in stores in October and are expected to roll out through the fall and early winter.
  • The move builds on Jif’s long history—launched in 1958 and made in a large Kentucky facility—and aims to boost convenience and shelf appeal while reassuring customers the nostalgic taste remains the same.
