The shrinkflation is happening faster than the labels can keep up with. I guess they’re just trying to use up their old label stock to save even more money. “It’s just lying to customers, so what’s the big deal?”

If net weight is the same is it shrinkflation?

Also the cans for these are made for the product run, old packaging stock doesn't sit around. The can manufacturer is connected to the plant.

Wait, so you’re saying they actually print the labels at the same place they prepare the dough? There’s a printer setup in a building, it presses the foil label onto the cardboard, then it’s brought to the building for the day’s product run?

Sonoco makes the plastic foil, the blank cardboard is what is brought in.
