When we talk about the word “packaging”, we first think of movie stars who never go onto a stage before an elaborate packaging. He or she may spend much more time in choosing clothes, doing hairstyle and practising manner rules than the time during which he or she really stands on the stage. As a matter of fact, common people also package themselves before leaving home. When we judge a shop from an online shopping platform, we usually attach much importance to the packaging of its goods. It’s not exaggerating to say that it’s an era of packaging. In aluminum industry there is a member which is well-known for its application in packaging: aluminium foil. Aluminium foil packaging looks luxurious with its light silver color. It becomes more attractive if printed with imaginative colors and designs. Leaving the appearance aside, aluminium foil packaging have more practical functions. It protects goods from moisture and bacteria. It helps goods to avoid possible exterior influences like light, heat and radiation. 

Aluminium foil, usually obtained through repeated rolling of electrolytic aluminum, combines advantages of all packaging materials. It’s bright with metal light, nontoxic and scentless. With a density of only one third of that of iron and copper, it boasts excellent extensiveness, smaller weight and thinner body. It has such good shading performance that its reflective rate reaches 95%. It effectively prevents packed items from bacteria or insects and remains intact at a temperature between -73oC and 371oC. It has perfect insulation property, keeping moisture and harmless micro materials outside yet original fragrance and water inside. Moreover, it can be compounded with plastics and paper to produce various aluminium foil packaging materials.

However, aluminium foil packaging has obvious weaknesses. It’s of low strength and easy to be torn, therefore, it’s not suitable to be used alone as packaging material. When folded it breaks easily. It’s not resistant acid or alkali.
