Barrier property. Aluminium foil has excellent barrier properties to water, air (oxygen), light and micro-organisms, which are all important factors for food deterioration, so aluminium foil has a good protective function for food.
Easy processing. Aluminium has a low melting point, good heat sealing properties, and is extremely easy to form, and can be processed into any shape according to the mould. The processed aluminium foil has excellent ductility and can be laminated to different shapes of food. It is also easy to carry out surface treatment, such as embossing process can make aluminium foil more beautiful and promote consumption.
Thermal conductivity. Aluminium is an excellent conductor of heat and can transfer heat quickly and evenly, so it can be put into ovens, barbecues and refrigerators together with food products.

Lightweight. The minimal thickness of aluminium foil allows for protection with minimal increase in product weight. Lightweight packaging reduces transport costs and increases ease of use.
Environmentally sustainable. Aluminium is the most abundant metallic element in the earth's crust and is the third most common material from a wide range of sources. Aluminium foil is corrosion resistant, chemically stable and has a long packaging life. It is recyclable and its recycling process consumes only 5% of the energy of the original production, making it an economical and sustainable choice.
