Composition
Understand the materials and components in the complete package, not just its outer surface.
OUR PACKAGING PERSPECTIVE
A package is more
than its first impression.
Paper-based packaging opens a useful conversation. Understanding the whole pack makes that conversation meaningful.
MATERIAL. FORM. FUNCTION.Think beyond
Think beyond
the surface.
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
Start with paper.
Ask about the rest.
A beverage pack has several jobs: containing the drink, supporting the way it is served and providing the information a buyer needs.
Paper-based describes a material direction. It does not, by itself, explain every part of a finished pack. The body, liquid barrier, closure, printing and other components deserve their own questions.
When discussing a SOKA product, ask for the current composition and handling information for that specific configuration.

CLEAR INFORMATION
The right detail
