Single-serve stick pouches are designed to let consumers prepare drinks on the go, without a mess.  But, all too often, they’re inadequately scored, so they don’t tear and open properly. Our SonoScore technology allows Sonoco to control, with pinpoint accuracy, both the placement and depth of the score on both lap and fin seal applications, without compromising the barrier. We can use a variety of patterns and depths to create the ultimate opening for your particular product, ensuring that the top tears cleanly and completely away from the stick pouch.

Bulk bags present unique storage and transportation challenges. Protruding nail heads and sharp wood splinters in conventional wooden pallets can cause rips and spill product, undermining your reputation at customers’ receiving docks. Unlike FirmaLoad bulk bag sustainable pallets, old-school pallets are simply not clean, green, nor freight-smart enough to help your company compete.

One-way pallets for your lightweight products--for less. Although 85% of all unitized loads shipped in North America weigh less than 1,000 pounds, most companies still use heavy wood pallets. Wood pallets are made to carry loads in excess of 2,500 pounds, and can increase shipping costs, raise disposal fees, pile up in landfills and sometimes cause damage to the products they’re supposed to protect. Wooden pallets are even now prohibited by some countries and companies because wood-boring parasites love them.

Stronger, stiffer, slip-resistant pallet solution made from 100% recycled plastic Problems with wood and plastic pallets are legendary. Wood pallets break, splinter, damage product, rack up landfill fees and can make a mess wherever they`re used and stored. Aside from being made with virgin plastics that consume valuable petroleum-based resources, some plastic pallets may even leach harmful chemicals. FirmaMax plastic pallets from Sonoco raise the bar in performance and sustainability. They overcome the drawbacks of typical plastic pallets and stand up to abuse like no other pallet on the market. With FirmaMax plastic sustainable pallets, you get strong performance in a 100% recycled solution with the highest buy-back value available.
