                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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 June 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations for the
quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES
       The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
consistent with the accounting principles and policies described
more fully in Note 1 of the Company's Annual Report for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES
       Inventories at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, were:

</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 June 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
ending June 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 second quarter of 1995 were $84.1 million,
an increase of 4.5% over the second quarter 1994.  Net sales
decreased in the Rigid Packaging Group, but were offset by an
increase in the Flexible Packaging Group of the Company.  The net
increase is due to price increases in both groups of the business
as well as modest volume growth in flexible packaging.

       The 4.3 percentage point decrease in the gross profit margin
is due to increased raw material costs and a less profitable mix of
business.  Due to contractual agreements with certain customers,
raw material increases were not passed on to those customers until
late in the quarter.  In addition, the decrease in unit volumes
during April and May resulted in lower levels of fixed overhead
cost coverage than in the prior year period.

       Selling, general and administrative expense decreased from
12.1% of net sales in the second quarter of 1994 to 11.3% of net
sales for the second quarter of 1995.  The significant decreases
were workers' compensation expense, relocation expenses,
developmental expenses, professional services and the Incentive
Compensation Plan expenses.  In addition, efforts are ongoing to
control selling, general and administrative costs.

       Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995, compared to
the second quarter of 1994, increased 63.8%.  This increase is
primarily the result of higher indebtedness incurred to complete
the construction of the DeSoto plant, a planned build up in raw
material inventories in advance of higher prices, and a 48%
reduction of capitalized interest compared to second quarter, 1994.

       For the year-to-date, net sales have increased over 1994 by
$5.7 million, or 3.8%.  Lower sales, caused by a decline in unit
volume in the Rigid Packaging Group were more than offset by higher
sales in the Flexible Packaging Group.  The higher sales by the
Flexible Packaging Group represented several key customers buying
heavily in advance of price increases which, as market conditions
allowed, were limited to a pass through of escalating raw material
costs.

       The gross profit margin decrease of 3.5 percentage points is
attributable to competitive forces and contract pricing primarily
in Flexible Packaging, 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.


       Selling, general and administrative expenses have decreased,
both in terms of dollars and as a percent of net sales.  S.G.&A. as
a percent of net sales has decreased from 12.9% in 1994 to 11.3% in
1995.  The significant decreases are reductions in workers'
compensation expenses, the non-recurrence of NLEA costs,
development costs and professional services and the Incentive
Compensation Plan.  Additionally, ongoing efforts to control all
other selling, general and administrative costs have been
effective.

       Interest expense for the first six months of 1995 has
increased $.7 million over the comparable 1994 period.  This
increase is attributable to higher debt, in combination with lower
capitalized interest of $.2 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 six months of 1995, cash provided by
operating activities was $7.9 million.  Accounts receivable and
inventory levels rose 15.6% over December 31, 1994 necessitating
additional funding needs for this increase.  Compared to the first
six 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 $30 million has been drawn, leaving an
unused balance of $10.0 million as of June 30, 1995.  For the
balance of 1995, it is anticipated that any additional borrowings 
will be minimal.
