The Use of Aluminum Foil Packaging Containers

The packaging industry has always been one of the important markets for the use of aluminum, and it has developed rapidly. Packaging industry products include household packaging materials, flexible packaging and food containers, bottle caps, hoses, beverage cans, and food cans.

Aluminum foil is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries because it is non-toxic, non-absorbent, and resistant to fragmentation. It also minimizes bacterial growth, produces colorless salts, and can undergo steam cleaning. When the container and the belt are to enter the heating or freezing zone, the low volumetric specific heat of aluminum can generate energy-saving value. The spark-free nature of aluminum is invaluable for flour mills and other factories that are vulnerable to fire and explosion. The corrosion resistance of aluminum is also important when shipping brittle commodities, valuable chemicals, and cosmetics. The current National Valve Product Standards Catalog is designed for sealed aluminum containers for air, shipping, train and truck shipments and can be used to ship chemical reagents that should not be bulked.
Aluminum beverage cans are one of the most successful applications in the history of aluminum industry, and the penetration of aluminum food cans into the market is also accelerating. Soft drinks, beer, coffee, fast food, meat, and even alcohol can all be packaged in aluminum cans. Draft beer can be shipped in aluminium-clad aluminum drums. Aluminum is widely used in the manufacture of soft packaging bags for toothpaste, food, ointment and pigment hoses and pharmaceuticals. To sum up, the main forms of aluminum packaging materials are:
1. Soft packaging bags for the food and pharmaceutical industries and cosmetics industry; 
2.  Semi-rigid containers made of aluminum foil (boxes, cups, cans, dishes, small boxes); 
3. Aluminum foils for home use and aluminum foil for packaging foods;
4. Cans, Sealing caps for glass bottles and plastic bottles; 
5. Rigid all-aluminum cans, especially two full-aluminum beer cans and soft drink cans (hard cans); 
6. Composite foil containers; 
7. Soft tubular containers, etc.; 
8 Large-rigid Packaging containers, such as containers, coolers, beer kegs, oxygen cylinders, and LNG tanks.
