Sealed Air Corporation makes packaging materials used to protect products during shipping and storage. Its most well-known product is Bubble Wrap, but the company also makes food packaging under the Cryovac brand, which keeps meat, poultry, and cheese fresh longer. Its main customers are food producers, e-commerce retailers, and industrial manufacturers.

Sealed Air earns money by selling packaging materials and systems directly to businesses, not to everyday consumers. It operates globally, with significant revenue from North America and Europe, and generates roughly $5–6 billion in annual sales. Its moat comes from long-standing customer relationships, proprietary materials science, and the high cost for customers to switch suppliers. The main risk the company faces is that demand for its products is tied closely to food production volumes and e-commerce shipping activity, both of which can slow during economic downturns — and rising raw material costs can squeeze its already moderate profit margins.
