Jumbo Rolls of Aluminum Foil: A Powerhouse in the Packaging Industry

Why is aluminum foil so popular in the food packaging industry?

The emergence of flexible food packaging has greatly improved the mechanization and automation of food processing, and accelerated the modernization and socialization of people's diet.

As a food packaging material, aluminum foil can protect food from light, ultraviolet rays, grease, bacteria, etc., maintain the flavor of food for a longer period of time, and extend the shelf life of food.

Aluminum foil can also be used as an important raw material for composite materials, such as aluminum foil bags, which are widely used in food packaging.

What are the classifications and applications of aluminum foil for food packaging?

1. Pure Aluminum Foil sheet

Foil sheets of 10 to 12 µm are ideal for chocolate and confectionery.

Aluminum foils of 30-38 µm are used in the dairy industry, e.g. for packaging desserts, puddings and yoghurts.

For jams and pies, 50-70 µm aluminum foil is the right choice.

Due to cost reductions, the current trend is towards thinner and thinner aluminum foils. In the field of chocolate packaging, the thickness of the packaging alone has decreased by around 30% over the past two decades. Currently, the average thickness of chocolate foil is between 7-15 microns, which is smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

2. Pure aluminum foil products - aluminum foil containers

Due to its excellent ductility, aluminum foil containers have become widely used tableware.

Aluminum has a high recycling rate, and aluminum foil lunch boxes are more environmentally friendly than plastic lunch boxes

Their processing raw materials are generally 3003 or 8011 aluminum foil.

The thickness of the aluminum foil container is generally between 0.03mm and 0.20mm, which can be divided into two types: no wrinkle and wrinkle. It can also be divided into one-time use and repeated use.

Henan Huawei Aluminum Co., Ltd is a leading aluminum foil food packaging manufacturer form China. As a powerful supplier, We have 18 years of experience in producing aluminum foil food packaging.

3. Composite flexible packaging materials

Aluminum foil bags are very common in food packaging. They are made of aluminum and paper or plastic.

This composite material can combine the shielding performance of aluminum foil with the strength of paper or the heat sealability of plastic, further improving the necessary resistance to water vapor, air, ultraviolet rays, and shielding performance against bacteria, etc., greatly expanding the aluminum foil. application market.

For example, milk powder is basically packaged in aluminum-plastic composite packaging, and liquid milk products are mainly packaged in aluminum foil cartons.
