Aluminum is by far the lightest “complete barrier” packaging material and is widely used for the production of food cans. The metal’s properties make it ideal for packaging sensitive products such as fish and pastes.
It is impermeable and protects the can’s contents from external influences such as light, ultra-violet rays, water vapor, oils and fats, oxygen and microorganisms. It is hygienic, non-toxic, non-tainting and retains the product’s flavor. Aluminum food cans keep food fresh and guarantee a long shelf life. Furthermore, aluminum packaging is easily recyclable through well-established collection systems.
Novelis supplies flat-rolled Aluminum in sheet and coil form for the production of food cans. This material can be ordered as rolled, degreased, prelubed, pre-treated and / or lacquered.
