NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
       In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain normal interim
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Sealright Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations for the

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES
       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared

more fully in Note 1 of the Company's Annual Report for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

</TABLE>

Because the inventory determination under the LIFO method can only
be made at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory
levels and costs at that time, interim LIFO determinations,
including those at September 30, 1995, must necessarily be based on
management's estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and
costs.  Since estimates of future inventory levels and prices are
subject to many factors beyond the control of management, interim
financial results are subject to final year-end LIFO inventory
amounts.  Accordingly, inventory components reported for the period
ended September 30, 1995, are estimates based on management's
knowledge of the Company's production cycle, the costs associated
with this cycle and the sales and purchasing volume of the Company.

ITEM 2.

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
                          AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations
       Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $76.2 million, a
decrease of 4.5% from the third quarter 1994.  Net sales decreased
in the Rigid Packaging Group by 3.5%, and by 11.5% in the Flexible
Packaging Group of the Company.  The decrease is due to lost
business and key customer volume shortfalls in one of the three
rigid paper packaging plants, the rigid plastics plant and to
volume shortfalls in all three flexible converting plants.

       The 5.8 percentage point decrease in the gross profit margin
is due to increased raw material costs and a less profitable
product mix of business.  Due to contractual agreements with
certain customers, additional price rebates were given to those
customers during the quarter.  In addition, the decrease in unit
volumes during the entire quarter resulted in lower levels of fixed
overhead cost coverage than in the prior year period.

       Selling, general and administrative expense increased from
12.0% of net sales in the third quarter of 1994 to 12.6% of net
sales for the third quarter of 1995.  The dollar increase quarter
to quarter is $35M, however with the lower net sales base, the
percentage has increased.  There were increases in relocation
costs, bad debt expense and general administration costs.  These
increases were offset by the non-recurrence of NLEA costs.

       Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995, compared to
the third quarter of 1994, increased 90.1%.  This increase is the
result of higher debt levels and significantly reduced levels of
capitalized interest.  The increase in debt is attributable to an
increase in working capital requirements.

       For the year-to-date, net sales have increased over 1994 by
$2.1 million, or .9%.  Flexible packaging sales increased
moderately, primarily as a result of higher prices.  Rigid
packaging sales are down slightly due to volume reductions and
competitive price pressures.

       The gross profit margin decrease of 4.2 percentage points is
attributable to competitive forces and contract pricing primarily
in the Flexible Packaging Group, which delayed and limited the
Company's ability to pass on increased material costs.  Reduced
unit volume in the Rigid Packaging Group also negatively affected
margins as well as the contractual price rebates given to certain
customers.


       Selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased,
both in terms of dollars and as a percent of net sales.  S.G.&A.
expenses as a percent of net sales, have decreased from 12.6% in
1994 to 11.7% in 1995.  The significant decreases are reductions in
Incentive Compensation costs, workers' compensation expenses,
development costs, professional services and the non-recurrence of
NLEA costs.  Additionally, ongoing efforts to control all other
selling, general and administrative costs have been effective.

       Interest expense for the first nine months of 1995 has
increased $1.3 million over the comparable 1994 period.  This
increase is attributable to higher debt combined with lower
capitalized interest of $.5 million.

       The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible
party (PRP) at several locations by the Environmental Protection
Agency.  The effect on Company operations is not expected to be
material due to the minimal quantities of the Company's wastes
involved at the sites and because other corporations included as
primary PRP's at each location have resources available to satisfy
their potential obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
       During the first nine months of 1995, cash provided by
operating activities was $18.3 million.  Accounts receivable and
inventory levels rose 10.4% over December 31, 1994 necessitating
additional funding.  Compared to the first nine months of 1994,
investment in new equipment and facilities has decreased
approximately 49% as the construction of the new DeSoto
manufacturing facility has been completed.  Of the Company's $40
million line of credit $25.5 million has been drawn, leaving an
unused balance of $14.5 million as of September 30, 1995.  On
October 17, 1995, the Company obtained a $75 million credit
facility from the Prudential Insurance Company of America and
issued $30 million of senior notes under this agreement.  Part of
the proceeds were used to pay off the bank line of credit balance
of $25.5 million, and the balance will be used for general
corporate purposes.
