The packaging aluminum foil is nothing more than an aluminum alloy sheet with a thickness between 0.004 and 0.24 mm, but it offers perfect protection against light, liquids and germs. Because of these properties, the shelf life of many groceries packaged in aluminum foil is often longer than 12 months.
Aluminum foil is manufactured on a rolling mill, a process that involves pulling a piece of aluminum sheet between two rotating rolls under pressure. The most common materials used in foil production are pure primary aluminum or 1000, 3000 or 8000 series.
About a quarter of all aluminum foil produced in the world is used for industrial applications in construction, transport and other industries. The majority of all aluminum foil production is used for packaging of various goods like food, beverage, medicine or cigarette.
Aluminum foil packaging is most widely used in the food industry. Many groceries are easily damaged by sunlight, which can damage their appearance and deteriorate their taste. Aluminum foil solves this problem in the best possible way, which is why it is often considered the ideal core packaging material for dairy products, pastries and beverages. For example, milk powder in sealed packages made of laminated foil has a shelf life of 2 years.
Food aluminum foil is non-toxic, so it won't damage the food wrapped inside, but rather protect it. Aluminum foil is used in food containers, bins, bottle caps, flexible packaging for liquid or bulk foods, and many other types of containers.
Aluminum foil roll will not melt from high heat, deform or impart any unpleasant odors to the food wrapped in it. This means the foil can be used to grill food and even cook it over an open fire.
For example, laminated foil with paper inside is used for packaging tea and sweets. Even in hot climates, this foil is three times more water-resistant than standard foils: the paper absorbs moisture, while the foil itself protects the contents from other negative elements.
