CoverStory: Top 50 Food Packagers

Our Top 50 Food Packagers list uses sources that include annual company reports, as well as self-reported data from Dun & Bradstreet, news reports, company websites and direct company contacts. Sales are based on calendar year 2012 or the most recent fiscal year that conforms to that timeframe. We used XE, the online currency counter (www.xe.com), where necessary. We have also drilled down to the best of our abilities using all available resources to separate out food revenue from beverages and other segment revenue.
