Methodology:


Our Top 100 food and beverage packaging companies list uses sources that include annual company reports, news reports, company websites and direct company contacts. Sales are based on calendar year 2020 or the most recent fiscal year that conforms to that timeframe. We used XE, the online currency counter (xe.com), where necessary. We have also used resources to separate out food and beverage revenue from other segment revenue. Some companies are marked with an asterisk to indicate an estimate when one of the following occurred: It was impossible to get a breakdown of food vs. other segments; it’s a private company and news sources reported the data, not the company directly; or no new information could be found, resulting in reporting 2019’s revenue.
