What Are Advantages of Food Grade Foil Tape

Food grade foil tape has many different alloys, like 1060 aluminum foil, 3003 aluminum foil, 8011 aluminum foil, etc. It is widely used in the packaging of cooked food, instant noodles and various snacks. In addition, food-grade aluminum foil can also be used as various food tray and container.

Aluminum foil food has the functions of preserving fragrance, color, taste and quality. This mainly depends on the high barrier properties, light barrier properties, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, non-toxic and tasteless properties of aluminum foil. Let's take a look at the advantages of aluminum foil in food packaging.

1. High barrier, anti-oxidation and extending the shelf life of food

The high barrier properties, moisture resistance and oxidation resistance of aluminum foil can isolate food from oxygen, water vapor, stains, etc., creating an excellent storage environment for food. Some aluminum foil packaging also adds desiccant/deoxidizer, or uses vacuum packaging or vacuum packaging to achieve the purpose of extending the shelf life of food.

2. High mechanical strength, strong impact resistance and puncture resistance

Aluminum foil has many excellent physical properties, such as high mechanical strength, strong impact resistance and strong puncture resistance, making aluminum flexible packaging not easy to break, thus protecting food from being damaged by external factors such as extrusion, impact, vibration, temperature difference, etc.

3. Strong adaptability to various environments

Aluminum foil has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, etc., which can adapt to various environments. The environment of food processing and production does not have much influence on its performance.

4. Easy processing for various packaging

Aluminum foil is flexible and strong, which is suitable for various bag types and packaging, whether it is self-supporting, eight-side sealing, three-side sealing, four-side sealing, etc. It is also suitable for different packaging methods such as vacuum and inflation.

5. Beautiful appearance

The printing suitability of aluminum foil can design the printing pattern according to the "object" in food packaging, and use the beautiful appearance and design to stimulate consumers' desire for consumption.

6. Environmental protection and low cost

Food wrapping aluminium foil is odorless, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, clean and hygienic, can ensure that it will not pollute the packaged food. Its production cost is lower than traditional packaging.
