GPK
Graphic Packaging Holding Company
Is GPK Halal?
Fiber-based packaging maker — a permissible manufacturing business, with debt as the main screen.
What You Should Know
Graphic Packaging Holding Company manufactures paperboard and converts it into folding cartons, cups, and food-service packaging for consumer brands, operating its own mills. Manufacturing paper-based packaging is a clearly permissible activity with no haram revenue line of its own. The main screening item is the balance sheet: Graphic Packaging carries meaningful mill- and capacity-related debt, so its total-debt-to-market-cap ratio should be confirmed against the 33% threshold using the latest filings. As a manufacturer, the receivables ratio is worth checking, and incidental interest income on cash should be checked against the 5% threshold and the corresponding portion of returns purified.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Carries capital-intensive mill and capacity debt — confirm total debt / market cap stays under the 33% threshold against the latest filings
- •Manufacturer receivables should be confirmed against the board's threshold (49–70%) against the latest filings
- •Incidental interest income on cash should be checked against the 5% threshold and the corresponding portion of returns purified
- •Sensitive to input, energy, and freight costs — re-screen the ratios periodically
