"The new sonoco.com strengthens Sonoco's brand globally by
demonstrating the breadth and depth of the Company's full range of
packaging supply chain products and services-the most complete offering in
the packaging industry," said Allan Cecil, vice president, investor
relations and corporate affairs. "Sonoco was one of the first packaging
companies to develop a comprehensive Internet presence more than a decade
ago. Today, the site has evolved to become a portal to all of our global
stakeholders."
From a single click on the Web site's homepage, customers are able to
retrieve details on nearly 40 product categories, 10 service categories and
40 market categories covering thousands of packaging products and services
offered by Sonoco's consumer and industrial businesses. The site also
features a series of alternating packaging innovations from its portfolio,
including unique rigid paper and plastic containers, printed flexible
packaging, water- resistant construction forms and sophisticated engineered
cores. Corporate navigation is placed on each page to provide users with
direct links to information about the Company's sustainability programs,
career opportunities, investor relations and other general information.
The nine-month-long Web site enhancement project involved the
implementation of a new architectural framework, a software upgrade and
increased functionality. The new design is patterned after the Company's
distinct spirals featured in its logo.
The Web site is optimized for screen resolution greater than 800 x 600,
and all information appears in a one-screen view, with customized internal
scrolling on the right side of each page. When printing, the entire
contents of a page are displayed. A breadcrumb serves as a secondary
navigation to assist visitors with quick return links to major categories
or sub-categories within the site.
