Paper Containers

Benefits For Consumers

Well-designed packaging is a brand manager's greatest tool to engage the overwhelmed consumer. The paper container addresses many of the top factors that influence a consumer's purchase decision, such as: 

  • Reseal ability
  • Convenient storage
  • Ease of opening

Benefits for Brands

Paper containers also excel at providing physical protection for delicate foods and maintaining freshness, both before and after the container is opened.

To further benefit your brand as well as your product, our paper container can be manufactured in almost any shape or size: tall and skinny, short and broad, or wide-mouthed like a coffee can, easily meeting your specific requirements across various markets and through numerous promotions or size changes. 

To complete your packaging solution and further customize the container, we offer a variety of functional and specialty closures which offer security and tamper evidence.

Finally, our in-house graphics management services ensure your brand messaging and visual identity remain consistent across containers and across the globe.

Sizes, Heights and Diameters

The possibilities are limitless when you choose a paper container manufactured by Sonoco. We deliver a completely customizable package so your product will stand out. A variety of sizes in height and diameter allows your brand to have a demanding presence on the retail shelf. Our container heights and diameters are easily adaptable to fit special usage occasions or retail space considerations, costing little change-over time. We offer paper canisters with 4 main diameters: 211 (68mm), 300 (73mm), 401 (99mm), 502 (130mm), with a variety of heights depending on your preference. Contact us for more details.
