Aluminum foil paper, also called compound paper or compound plastics, is made through combining aluminum foil with paper or plastics and repeated rolling procedures. Most aluminum foil paper is printed with given designs with a purpose of promotion. Boasting extraordinary insulation property, it functions as packaging material in various industries. One of its usages falls on packaging for food, because aluminum has perfect corrosion resistance performance and contains no harmful element.
Aluminum foil paper, only 0.006 to 0.009mm thick, is widely used packaging for sweets. In the past sweets were wrapped but not sealed, so it was easy for them to get in contact with moisture in the air and melt. Nowadays almost all sweets, except the retro types, are sealed in this kind of paper. The papers are printed with all kinds of cartoons to attract children who are always ready to cry if their parents refuse to buy them sweets. A second usage is packaging for liquid milk. A decade ago, famous milk brands in China like Yili and Mengniu first applied aluminum foil paper in liquid milk packaging. Now most fresh milk and yogurt are packed in this way. A small bag contains liquid milk of 100g to 180g, the suitable amount as after-meal food. Aluminum withstands low temperature so the bagged milk are often kept in fridge. The third usage of is packaging for powder food like seasonings and instant coffee. The edge of a seasoning bag is usually cut into curves so that people opens the bag easily by tearing out a little piece of the edge. Some homes may prefer to use seasoning boxes and spoons, but most people just pour the seasoning directly out of the bag, which is more convenient. In addition, seasoning is less like to get wet if left in the bag. As for instant coffee, westerners may not like it because it’s not regarded as coffee at all, but it’s really popular among white-collar workers in China. Instant coffee is usually sealed in small aluminum foil paper bag and people just throw the bag away after pouring the coffee out.
