Methodology:

Packaging Strategies’ ranking of the Top 25 Beverage Packaging Companies is based on 2017 worldwide sales for U.S. and foreign-held companies that have significant sales in the United States. Figures were primarily derived from a ranking by Statista, and checked against public records and disclosed sales from private companies. Packaging Strategies also attempted to separate beverage revenues from food and other segments using available records.
