The Bold New Design Celebrates Flavor and The Everyday Moments That Deserve a Little More Fun
Key Points:
- Smucker’s® is refreshing its fruit spread packaging for the first time since the ’90s.
- The classic gingham pattern — an unmistakable nostalgic staple — isn’t going anywhere; it’s getting more real estate, now appearing on both the lid and the front label.
- New jars start hitting shelves this spring.
ORRVILLE, Ohio, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Smucker’s® fruit spreads that have been trusted by families for generations are getting a new look. For the first time in nearly 30 years, Smucker’s is unveiling a bold, modern redesign that builds on the brand’s iconic ’90s-era packaging — bringing its familiar charm and heritage together with a sense of fun and flavor, made for today’s real-life modern snacking moments.
While food and culture are embracing a renewed love for all things ’90s, Smucker’s is leaning into the nostalgia consumers know and love, then evolving it. Consumers will still enjoy the same quality, trusted ingredients and delicious flavor they expect from Smucker’s jams, now wrapped in a look that feels brighter, bolder, and more expressive. The update honors Smucker’s fruit spreads most recognizable elements while celebrating the power of transformative flavor to make every bite, meal, and moment yummier.
The refreshed design keeps the brand’s iconic gingham front and center — literally. The beloved, fashion-forward pattern now appears on both the lid and the front label, giving it even more presence on the shelf. The biggest visual change? Distinct, vibrant colors for each flavor, paired with bigger, bolder fruit imagery.
“This redesign was about honoring the Smucker’s brand’s most iconic assets and evolving them with modern intention,” said Dayna Lewallen, Senior Design Manager, Creative & Design at The J.M. Smucker Co.
The new look celebrates the many ways Smucker’s jam enhances every moment and adds a pop of sweetness to every bite — from everyday breakfast to morning snacking and so much more. A fashion-forward jar that earns a spot on a charcuterie board, a flavor that transforms a plain yogurt bowl, a finishing touch that ups the magic on pretty much anything. Same great fruit spread. A whole lot more freedom to enjoy your way.
New jars will begin rolling out on shelves this spring, inviting consumers to explore more flavor, more fun, and more ways to make everyday moments a little sweeter. For more information, please visit https://www.smuckers.com/.

What is happening with the iconic Smucker’s® gingham pattern?
