Sonoco SonoWrap pack tempts health food consumers to snack

First health food snack canister in U.K. packages Readifoods’ Tesco Temptations. In response to a growing health food market in the U.K., Sonoco has given healthy snack food packaging a new shape by creating a SonoWrap canister for Readifoods’.

“The U.K.’s health-food market is booming,” said Kieren France, account manager at Sonoco. “Health food enthusiasts are just as interested in snack foods as other consumers, and they are also looking for something portable that will fit into their active lifestyles."

The SonoWrap canister is a single-wrap rigid container with the barrier properties of a composite can. The Tesco Temptations SonoWrap canister, which is made to be portable and durable, is small and oval-shaped. Sonoco makes the 80-gram capacity canister at its facility in Hartsville, S.C., U.S. The canister’s clear, heat-sealed, anti-mist membrane ensures a long shelf life, and its opaque cap keeps the product fresh but also allows for easy opening. The label is printed using six-color lithography with a varnish.
