Aluminum foil is used for different types of packaging. In particular, it is used in the food industry for the packaging of different dairy products such as cheese spreads, butter and other fatty foods. Aluminum packaging is used above all for foods that are sold already portioned thanks to the numerous properties of this material:
• Barrier effect: foods containing oils or fats lose their nutritional value and taste when exposed to light. Aluminum foil blocks this alteration acting as a total barrier against contamination preventing the loss of moisture and flavor
• Mechanical properties: Light but strong, aluminum foil is ideal for wrapping with embossed designs thanks to its unique flexibility
• Resistance to heat and conductivity: aluminum can be heated to high temperatures without deformations or fusions
• Coupling with other materials: aluminum enhances the properties of other packaging materials and allows the creation of thinner laminates, saving resources
• Aesthetic potential: the possibility of being printed and the natural brilliance that distinguishes it, make aluminum foil customizable and attractive to present any product on the shelf
• Hygiene and safety: aluminum packaging guarantees maximum protection of the products it contains
• Environmental impact: aluminum foil helps to preserve dairy products reducing the waste of materials and energy. Furthermore, once used, aluminum can be recycled countless times without losing any of its characteristics
