What foxpak does
Foxpak Flexibles was an Ireland-based (Louth) flexible packaging company founded in 2001, serving food and beverage brands and retailers with a range of pre-made pouches including stand-up pouches, coffee pouches, three-side seal pouches, quad seal pouches, spout pouches, and flat bottom pouches. Its core technology centered on conventional flexible converting — producing lightweight, customisable, shelf-life-extending formats for on-the-go food, coffee, tea, liquids, powders, and pet food applications — with differentiators grounded in physical features rather than proprietary IP or digital capabilities.
The company operated with a headcount of 11–50 employees and pursued a B2B, quote-based go-to-market targeting enterprise food brands and retailers, with distribution previously limited to a regional footprint. The company has been acquired by Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE), and its product lines have been fully rebranded under Sealed Air's CRYOVAC® brand umbrella, which is cited as marking 85 years of innovation in food packaging. Post-acquisition, Foxpak's products are commercialized through Sealed Air's UK Food Packaging sales infrastructure (Cromwell Road, St Neots, Cambridgeshire) alongside Sealed Air's broader portfolio of bag-in-box, vacuum shrink bags, form-fill-seal films, and protective packaging.
No standalone revenue, pricing, or customer-level disclosure is available for the Foxpak entity following integration into Sealed Air's CRYOVAC brand. The original Foxpak legal entity is no longer independently operating.

foxpak competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Glenroy: US-based flexible packaging converter focused on stand-up pouches and laminated films for food, beverage, and personal care. Comparable through specialised pouch converting capability and customisation focus.
- Coveris: European flexible packaging converter specialising in pouches, films, and bags for food and pet food brands. Closely aligned product mix and customer overlap with Foxpak's CRYOVAC pouches.
- ProAmpac: Specialist flexible packaging and pouch manufacturer serving food, beverage, and pet food markets with recyclable and stand-up pouch formats. Direct competitor in pre-made pouches for similar end uses.
Broad incumbents
- Sealed Air (parent): Foxpak's parent company and global food packaging incumbent operating the CRYOVAC brand across vacuum bags, shrink films, and pouch packaging. Included for context as the strategic acquirer and channel through which Foxpak's pouches are now distributed.
- Mondi: European-based paper and flexible packaging group with a consumer flexibles business producing pouches and bags for food customers. Directly comparable in pouch format and European CPG customer base.
- Amcor: Global packaging giant with a large flexible packaging and pouches portfolio serving food and beverage brands. Highly comparable as a multi-format pouch manufacturer competing for the same enterprise CPG customers.
- Berry Global: Large diversified packaging manufacturer with a significant flexible films and pouches business serving food brands. Comparable through its flexible packaging segment, though its portfolio is far broader than Foxpak's pouch focus.
- Sonoco Products: Diversified global packaging company with flexible packaging and pouch offerings for food and beverage. Comparable via its flexibles segment, though much broader scope including rigid and paper-based packaging.
Regional players
- Constantia Flexibles: Austrian-based flexible packaging manufacturer with strong European presence in pouches and films for food and consumer goods. Comparable through pouch technology and EMEA customer overlap, though it does not directly serve the UK/Irish market from a primary base.
Others
- Smurfit Kappa: European paper-based packaging giant with a Bag-in-Box division and growing flexibles exposure. Adjacent competitor in food packaging supply chains and potential substitute for flexible pouches in liquid applications.
