Aluminum containers satisfy consumer demand for quality convenience and value. They do so by combining the features needed to process, conserve and deliver to the consumer perfectly preserved and quickly accessed food products
This packaging type owes a large part of its acknowledged advantages to the unique and versatile attributes of the aluminum material itself:
- Aluminum provides a total barrier and protects sensitive and valuable food from deterioration;
- It has unique mechanical properties as it is highly formable and can also be ‘dead folded’, which is beneficial when deep drawing and shaping containers;
- Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and at the same time is heat-resistant, allowing quick and controlled heating of the container’s food content;
- The decorative potential of aluminum foil lends itself to strong shelf-appeal and striking pack design: the material is both bright and reflective and can be color-lacquered or printed;
- Aluminum foil helps meet source reduction and sustainability goals through the development of lightweight and down-gauged packaging. Aluminum containers can be recycled time and again without any loss of quality.
