It should be noted that according to many Poskim there is no problem with opening such wrappers on Shabbos. Rav Moshe Feinstein explicitly permitted people to open sugar packets on Shabbos even though this entailed ripping through letters and words.

Nevertheless, common practice is to refrain from this activity. The fact that Frum-owned companies are not sensitive to this issue has been a pet peeve of mine for many years.
