Flexible Packaging Aluminium Foil

GNEE offers aluminum foils for flexible packaging in sizes from 8µm to 150µm.
They are used in a wide range of flexible packaging applications in combination with other substrates such as PET, PE, PA and PP films, paper, cardboard, both as a general substrate for lacquering (blisters, chocolate, cheese ......) and for printing (surprise eggs, chocolate coins ......). They can be used in combination with other substrates (e.g. PE and PA films, paper, cardboard), either as painted substrates (blisters, chocolates, cheese ......) or as printed substrates (surprise eggs, chocolate coins ......) The aluminum foil can be used in a variety of different ways.
In this field, the main function of aluminum foil is to keep out gases (oxygen, air ......) , water vapor (humidity) and light, and to provide mechanical properties and structural rigidity (e.g. to keep folds) to the final package.
Aluminum foil is by far the best film in nature for blocking water, oxygen and light.

In the wine industry, aluminum foil is used for the functionality and aesthetics of the final container, e.g. polyimide for bottle caps and large capsules, wine capsule heads for embossing logos and tax stamps.
In the electrical sector, for insulation and electrical shielding of cables, motors, etc.
For thermal insulation and waterproofing (panels, bituminous membranes, rock wool, cork, double glazing ......) .
For Series IV and non-Series IV packaging (e.g. aluminum containers)
Different sizes and alloys are used depending on the end application. The most commonly used alloys belong to the 1000 and 8000 series.

When choosing a quality aluminum manufacturer, it is not only the competence and organization of the manufacturer that is important, but also the technology and the type of raw material used. finfoil can assure you that in this as well as in any other respect, it has the knowledge and competence and can meticulously recommend the right film for the desired end product.

Aluminum foils are commonly used for laminating, lacquering and printing.

Aluminum foils for flexible packaging; PET, PE, PA and PP
The range of foil sizes commonly used varies considerably depending on the purpose of the finished product.
The food or pharmaceutical flexible packaging industry requires foil thicknesses of between 5 µm and 45 µm for multilayer constructions, while the industrial industry requires thicknesses of between 9 µm and 75 µm.
Of course, many more specific applications are not included in this overview; however, Finfoil will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

As a rule, the lacquer on aluminum foil is transparent, not opaque.
Food or pharmaceutical flexible packaging industry (confectionery, dairy products, pharmaceuticals ......) The thickness of lacquered products ranges from 10µm to 70µm and even higher for food containers (canteens, airlines and baked goods).
In the industrial sector, the thickness of lacquered products (electrical, brewery, automotive, insulation ......) is required to be between 40µm and 70µm. require thicknesses between 40µm and 150µm.
Of course, there are also special applications not mentioned in this brief overview, but Finfoil is always happy to provide further information.
