CoverStory: Top 50 Food Packagers

Our Top 50 Food Packagers list uses sources that include annual company reports, news reports, company websites and direct company con- tacts. Sales are based on calendar year 2013 or the most recent ﬁ scal 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.
