Sonoco's Paper Container: The Total Package
When it comes to choosing the right package, certain elements must come together: functionality, shelf appeal, and product protection. The paper container has all of those, delivering an easy-to-stack, easy-to-store rigid format that protects the products inside--from oats to frozen juice to baby formula--while giving a natural kraft, premium metallic, or colorful and interactive display on shelf. And at Sonoco, we can deliver the whole solution, from the metal ends and membranes, to the can body, to the graphic development for the label.
Numerous Applications. Multiple Names.
Connecting Insights to Innovation

Ultimate Product Protection
Ultimate Product Protection
With the rise of e-commerce and the increasing distances packaging must travel to land on consumers' doorsteps, our job is to ensure that the product you place in our cans makes it safely to its destination, whether that be a store shelf or a doormat.
We've used Amazon's recognized e-commerce testing and ship test data to prove that our paperboard body withstands denting better than the metal can and shows equal resistance to damage in your online box order.
And we'll customize your can construction to make sure the barrier is exactly what you need--no less, no more--to keep the quality of your product intact without incurring any unnecessary expenses.
Consumer Insights
Protective
“It is easy to open, stacks well in cupboards, and keeps food fresh. Also, if I drop the package, it stays closed.”
Fresh
“When transporting food items from the market, I can trust that the food won't be damaged. It is resealable so I don't have to worry about repackaging after opening. I believe it stays fresh longer.”
Convenient
“For snack items, I think it's convenient and a reliable form of packaging.”
Re-Sealable
“I would choose this type of packaging, because I love that it is in a container that reseals the food for me, so I don't have to find another container or bag for the food inside. Really convenient.”
