What Sonoco Products Co does.

Sonoco Products Company (“Sonoco,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a South Carolina corporation founded in Hartsville, South Carolina, in 1899 as the Southern Novelty Company with the guiding principle that People Build Businesses by doing the right things. At its beginnings in 1899, a team of 12 people worked from a rented warehouse to produce the Company’s first product, a cone-shaped paper yarn carrier used for winding and transporting yarn. Since most of the textile cones of that day were wooden, paper cones were a novelty. The Company soon became the leading producer of cones in the United States. The Southern Novelty Company continued to diversify its product line and add new operations around the country. In 1923, the Southern Novelty Company name was changed to Sonoco Products Company, or “Sonoco,” using the first two letters from each word of its original name.

Sonoco is now a multi-billion dollar global designer, developer, and manufacturer of a variety of highly engineered and sustainable packaging serving multiple end markets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 265 l ocations in 37 cou ntries, serving some of the world’s best-known brands around the globe. Sonoco is committed to creating sustainable products, services, and programs for the environment and our customers, employees, and communities that support our corporate purpose: Better Packaging. Better Life . Our goal is to bring more to packaging than just the package by offering integrated packaging solutions that help define brand personalities, create unique customer experiences, and enhance the quality of products.
