| Cost-Effective |
Its
abundance makes it an economy resource with
high utility and performance. |
| Light
Weight - Ease of Handling |
Strong
material integrity combined with lightweight
makes it a feasible and convenient packaging
material. |
| Decorative
Appearance |
Brilliant
or matt surface makes it perfect for many
occasions. Easily laminated and coated for
decorative purposes. Aluminium can etched,
grained or embossed. |
| Printable |
Ideal
for labeling and identification of contents.
|
| Easy
Lidding |
Containers
can be easily sealed with board or foil lids
where rims can be folded over the edges of
a lid to hold securely. |
| Flexible |
Highly
flexible for creation of packaging of different
sizes and shapes. |
| Durability/Temperature
Resistant |
Temperature
resistance from deep-freeze to heated oven
processing |
| Impermeability
|
Aluminium
foil containers create an impermeable wall
around their contents, promoting product freshness
and increased shelf life. |
| Corrosion
Resistant/Permanent |
Aluminium's
natural oxide shielding, which is maintained
in the presence of air, renders it substantially
corrosion resistant. |
| Non-Toxic
- Compatibility with food, drugs, and cosmetics |
Nontoxic;
corrosion resistant to many compounds, strong
solutions or mixes. |
| Microwaveability |
Foods
heat more thoroughly in Aluminium than in
plastic and retains more original texture
and flavor. Read About Common
Misconception on Microwaveability. |
| Heat
conductivity & reflectivity |
Aluminium
packaging reflects heat and with low conduction
that enables it to maintain the contents at
the required temperatures. |
| Non-absorptive/Grease
Proof |
Non-absorbent
and proof against grease, oil, water and other
liquids. |
| Hygienic |
Sterile
when heat-treated in production; smooth metallic
surface sheds contaminants and moisture of
sterilization. |
| Sterilizable |
Unaffected
by heat and moisture of sterilization. |
| Tasteless,
Odorless |
Imparts
no detectable taste or odor to products. |
| Opacity |
Solid
metal, transmits no light or UV radiation. |
| Sealability |
Excellent
dead fold and adhesion to a wide variety of
compounds. |
| Insignificantly
magnetic |
Provides
excellent electrical, nonmagnetic shielding. |
| Non-sparking |
The
leading metallic material for applications
with volatile, flammable compounds. |
| 100%
Recyclable & Reusable - Environmentally Friendly |
Unlike
many packaging materials such as plastics,
Aluminium can be easily recycled, reused and
is environmentally safe. It can be compacted
and re-melted or processed to separate the
supporting layers and Aluminium residue for
use in other applications. In addition, the
energy contained in the thin foil component
of a laminate can be recovered in the form
of heat. |
| Disposability
& Safety |
Aluminium
foil containers can be disposed of safely
and hygienically. |
| Formability |
Dead
fold. Aluminium is very malleable and can
be deformed considerably without losing its
barrier integrity |
