Pet Care
Your customer's pets come in all shapes, sizes, colors and abilities. Fortunately, so does our packaging.
EcoSeal®
Conscientious pet owners want what’s best for their pets, and so do we!
One of the newest members of our EnviroSense™ family of sustainable packaging, the EcoSeal® can provides the strength and performance of Sonoco’s traditional paper container, with the added feature of a customizable paper bottom. The EcoSeal® can is also eligible for How2Recycle® “Check Locally” labeling, which is great for your brand and your customers. A project of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition® (SPC), How2Recycle is a standardized labeling system to ensure packaging clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public in accordance with Federal Trade Commission Green Guides. Offering speed-to-market, with a low capital investment, our EcoSeal® container is perfect for short-run initiatives—like holiday promotions, new product trials and small SKUs. Suited to dry treats and kibble, the EcoSeal® container compliments premium and wholesome brands through the use of recycled fiber and cutting edge graphics abilities.
