In addition to serving the packaging needs of some of the world’s best-known food brands in more than 85 countries, Sonoco is committed to working with leaders across the food industry to develop innovative packaging solutions designed to help reduce their environmental footprints and make significant progress towards reaching their sustainability goals. In 2020, the company ranked first in the packaging sector on Fortune’s list of the World’s Most Admired Companies and also ranked among Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies.
From refrigerated & ready-to-eat, to center-store offering
With a deep knowledge of material science, a patented innovation process and a diverse assortment of industry-leading packaging equipment, Sonoco Alloyd provides custom solutions for all manner of grocery items such as frozen and refrigerated foods, snack foods, deli products, prepared foods produce, as well as a diverse range of specialty products including Point-of-Purchase (POP) trays and displays, consumer-friendly lidding and closures, and eye-popping graphics to entice consumers at the moment of decision.
More Materials, More End-use Applications
Sonoco Alloyd deals exclusively in the development of custom-designed packaging solutions that accelerate speed to market, reduce tooling costs, improve merchandising appeal and enhance the overall product experience. While most food packaging is made from stock supplies of one material, Sonoco Alloyd has no such limitations. Our extensive material science expertise and experience working with a wide variety of substrates allows us to choose the best materials for the job. We have never been a stock supplier of any one material, and our customers know they can always count on our ability to innovate, customize and deliver the ideal solution using the best material for the job. Substrates we routinely use include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and many more.

Lower Tooling Costs
Smaller flatbed format tooling costs significantly less than that of robust rotary and large flatbed platens typical of high output production runs. The tooling we use for our equipment is a smaller format and costs a fraction of that of a rotary, a tremendous savings for smaller product runs and the ideal solution for pilot programs and new product launches.
