| 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 |
