Company overview
Elopak is the company named in the brief. In the supplied source, Elopak presents itself around ‘Leading the shift away from plastics’ and describes sustainable packaging intended to reduce emissions and plastics [1]. The same page refers to ‘Pure-Pak® cartons,’ ‘Pure-Pak® Sense cartons,’ cartons as a packaging choice, and a carton converting plant in Little Rock, Arkansas [1]. A news item on the page also uses the name ‘Elopak ASA’ in connection with quarterly results [1].
The evidence supplied here is a homepage and news excerpt rather than a complete company record. It does not establish Elopak’s legal registration, headquarters address, ownership, staffing, turnover, production capacity, customer list, certifications, price list, minimum order quantity or lead times. The brief topic refers to ‘carton packaging and filling systems,’ but the supplied excerpt describes cartons and a converting plant; it does not describe filling systems, filling machinery or service support for filling lines [1]. This profile should therefore be treated as an incomplete research draft for a specific supplier record, not as a verified statement that every named product family or capability is available to a given buyer.
Company information
| Field | Available information | Evidence or check needed |
|---|---|---|
| Official or trading name as supplied | Elopak. The entity name ‘Elopak ASA’ appears in a Q1 news item on the supplied page, but no registration number, legal form or jurisdiction is supplied [1]. | Confirm the contracting legal entity, registered address and jurisdiction. |
| Official website | https://www.elopak.com/ is the URL of the supplied Elopak source [1]. | The website is supported as a company-branded source; domain control and identity were not independently checked for this profile. |
| Business type | Self-described as a ‘global packaging company’ in one news item; the excerpt centres on cartons and sustainable packaging [1]. | Confirm whether the supplier type is converter, brand owner, equipment supplier, distributor or a mixed model, and which production stages are in-house. |
| Country | Headquarters country is not provided in the excerpt. The page shows country site links for the USA, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Italy, International, Germany, France, Denmark, and Canada (French and English), and reports a U.S. plant [1]. | Confirm registered country and headquarters; do not treat country site links as proof of a factory or office in every listed country. |
| Region or city | Little Rock, Arkansas, U.S., is documented for the first U.S. carton converting plant opening [1]. No headquarters city is supplied. | Confirm headquarters location and the fulfilment site for the requested product. |
| Contact route | Not provided in the supplied excerpt. | Request an official sales contact, RFQ route and entity-specific address. |
| Review status | Not checked. | No identity check, site visit, certificate check or supplier audit is documented in the supplied material. |
Products, services, and capabilities
The source excerpt supports carton packaging references and one customer switch from PET to cartons; it does not provide a complete product catalogue. The table below keeps each statement tied to the source context and identifies what a buyer should confirm.
| Offering or process | What the source states | What to confirm for your order |
|---|---|---|
| Carton packaging and sustainable packaging | Elopak presents ‘sustainable packaging to reduce emissions and plastics’ and asks buyers to ‘step into the world of sustainable packaging’ [1]. | Specific carton format, board grade, coating, barrier, closure, size, food-contact suitability and recyclability claims for the intended product. |
| Pure-Pak® cartons | The source refers to ‘Pure-Pak® cartons’ and a Tropicana ‘Fresh & Light’ range launched in Pure-Pak® cartons [1]. | Which Pure-Pak® formats are supplied, available volumes, closures, printing options, minimum quantities and regions served. |
| Pure-Pak® Sense cartons | The source reports PD Ďumbier changed plastic bottles for ‘Pure-Pak® Sense cartons with Natural …’ and reduced plastic by 80% [1]. The material phrase is truncated in the excerpt. | Full product name and material description; whether the stated 80% plastic reduction applies to that customer’s previous PET bottle and is supported by a product-specific assessment. |
| Carton converting plant | The source reports Elopak opened its first U.S. carton converting plant in Little Rock, Arkansas [1]. | What converting stages occur at that site; whether printing, finishing, filling-equipment manufacture or distribution are also performed there; which products are made for which markets. |
| Filling systems | The brief topic mentions filling systems. The supplied source excerpt does not describe filling systems, filling machines, line integration or servicing [1]. | Confirm directly whether Elopak supplies filling systems, aseptic or non-aseptic lines, spare parts or service, and for which carton formats. Do not assume this from the brief wording alone. |
| Customer examples | The source lists PD Ďumbier and Tropicana using cartons, and Luxlait switching dairy classics into Pure-Pak® cartons [1]. | These are supplier-reported examples, not independently verified customer references. Ask for comparable references in your product category and region. |
Not provided or not checked: detailed material specifications, dimensions, print processes, finishing options, tooling requirements, minimum order quantities, prices, lead times, delivery terms, sample policy and production capacity. The absence of those details in the supplied excerpt does not prove that Elopak does not offer them; it means they must be requested and checked for the specific item.
Locations and production scope
The supplied source documents a U.S. production location: Elopak’s first U.S. carton converting plant in Little Rock, Arkansas, reported as opened on 30.04.2025 [1]. The page also shows country site links for the USA, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Italy, International, Germany, France, Denmark, and Canada (French and English), but those links do not establish offices, factories or headquarters in every country [1]. No full street address, registered office or headquarters location is provided in the excerpt.
Production scope remains partly unknown. A ‘carton converting plant’ indicates a production step related to cartons, but the excerpt does not specify whether board printing, coating, cutting, creasing, sealing, filling-equipment assembly or after-sales service occur at Little Rock. It also does not show which stages are outsourced. A buyer should confirm the fulfilment site for the requested carton format, the origin of board and components, and whether any requested process is subcontracted.
Order information and quotation preparation
No source-supported price, minimum order quantity, lead time, tooling charge, sample charge, delivery term or payment term is supplied. Those items must be requested per product family and quantity. The following checklist can be used to prepare a comparable inquiry; each item is a question, not evidence that Elopak offers the option.
- Product and pack format: intended product, ambient, chilled or aseptic requirement, carton family (for example, the Pure-Pak® names in the source), volume, dimensions, closure type and compatibility with any existing filling line.
- Materials and barrier: board grade, coating, barrier layer, recycled content, food-contact status and any customer-specified material restrictions.
- Print and finishing: number of colours, print method, artwork requirements, proofing, minimum print run, surface finishing and variation control.
- Quantity: requested order quantity, annual forecast, repeat-order pattern and any tiered-pricing thresholds. Do not assume a published MOQ.
- Samples and tooling: availability of stock or custom samples, sample lead time, sample charge, printing plate or tooling cost, and whether tooling is reusable or customer-owned.
- Delivery: destination, Incoterm requested, packaging of finished goods, pallet configuration, freight responsibility and required delivery date.
- Compliance documents: product-specific food-contact declaration, material safety or migration documentation, recycling or recyclability evidence and any required certificate for the destination market.
- Commercial entity: contracting entity, invoice currency, validity period of quote and the named sales contact.
Ask for the quote to state the carton format, material structure, print specification, quantity basis, tooling assumptions, delivery destination and expiry date. This makes responses from Elopak comparable with other carton suppliers.
Quality, samples, and certificate information
No quality-management certificate, food-contact certificate, sample policy, inspection process or test report is provided in the supplied excerpt [1]. The homepage’s emissions and plastic-reduction statements are supplier-reported marketing claims; they were not independently checked for this profile. In particular, the 73% emissions reduction statement and 85% reduced-plastics statement on the page should be read as general supplier claims, not as a product-specific guarantee for a buyer’s pack [1].
Before ordering, request the quality documents relevant to the exact product and market. Verify the issuing body, certificate number, scope, site covered and expiry date where a certificate is offered. Ask whether the certificate applies to the specific manufacturing site, carton format and food-contact use, rather than assuming it covers all products. For samples, ask for a specification sheet, a printed proof or mock-up, and a statement of which properties were tested.
Status: quality processes, certificates, sample arrangements and independent verification are Not provided / Not checked in the supplied material.
Evidence and information gaps
The available evidence is a single search-result set from Elopak’s website, combining homepage text and news snippets dated 2025 [1]. It supports the existence of an Elopak-branded packaging website, carton references, customer-news examples, a stated focus on reducing plastics, and a reported U.S. carton converting plant in Little Rock, Arkansas. It does not support a full company identity check, headquarters address, legal registration, ownership, staff count, turnover, machine list, capacity, export markets, certifications, MOQs, pricing or lead times.
The main unresolved identity point is the relationship between the trading name ‘Elopak,’ the name ‘Elopak ASA’ appearing in a news item, the website operator, and the entity that would contract for supply [1]. No registration number or legal jurisdiction is supplied. The brief’s reference to ‘filling systems’ also remains unresolved because the excerpt describes cartons and converting, not filling equipment. The country site links on the page should not be read as proof of a factory or office in every listed country.
Next checks should include confirming the official sales entity and registered address; obtaining a product catalogue and technical data sheets; confirming whether filling systems are supplied; checking site-specific quality and food-contact documentation; and requesting a written quote for a defined carton specification and quantity.
Next steps for a buyer
- Confirm identity and route to market: ask Elopak to state the legal entity, registered address, contracting entity, official sales contact and whether the enquiry is handled by a subsidiary, distributor or agent.
- Define the pack: prepare a specification covering product, carton format, volume, board or barrier structure, closure, print, artwork and any filling-line interface.
- Clarify capability boundaries: ask separately about carton supply, converting, printing, filling systems, line integration, spare parts and service. Do not treat the brief’s broad topic as confirmation of every capability.
- Request appropriate samples and documents: ask for a sample of the proposed structure, a printed proof, a specification sheet and the food-contact or compliance documents required for your destination market.
- Request a like-for-like quote: specify quantity, forecast, delivery destination, required date and requested Incoterm; ask for MOQ, tooling or setup charges, sample charges, lead time and quote validity in writing.
- Check before transacting: independently verify certificates, legal registration, references and site scope. This profile is research assistance and not a recommendation or endorsement.
