SONOCO’S SONOWRAP™ PACK: The ‘Next Generation’ in Rigid Paperboard Packaging

Sonoco has extended its portfolio of rigid paper packaging solutions with SonoWrap™ technology, a new range of single wrap rigid paperboard packaging. Companies that want the latest in rigid packaging are choosing the SonoWrap pack because it combines excellent graphics, performance and consumer-pleasing features in a single, cost-effective solution.

The SonoWrap pack gets it name from its uncomplicated construction. The single laminated structure combines a bodywall, liner and label into a single ply that is then die-cut to the proper shape. It is composed of paperboard and the customer's choice of liner material, from low, medium to high (hermetic). SonoWrap packs are available in round and tapered formats, in single or multi-serving sizes.

SonoWrap technology offers options on graphics that are not available with traditional composite cans. Litho offset printing delivers exceptional brightness and pinpoint reproduction. Customers can choose from special high gloss finishes, embossing, UV coatings and inks, and hot foil stamping. Windows can be added for product visibility. These options are particularly popular for seasonal and promotional packages.

The shaped pack fits easily in hand, facilitating pouring. It has a wide mouth so consumers can eat straight from the pack. Its tabbed peelable foil membrane top makes it easy to open. A flexible LLDPE overcap allows for secure reseal. All components of the package-the laminated cup, membrane closure and overcaps-are supplied by Sonoco. There's a cost benefit, too. The non-round packs nest together neatly, resulting in significant savings on inbound freight and storage.
