Aluminum ,especially aluminum foil, is widely used in packaging industry .Thin aluminum foil is mainly used  in food packaging industry and  pharmaceutical packaging industry.Aluminum foil is of good thermal conductive,light weight,excellent moldability ,high yield strength and tensile strength,easy for recovery, health and safety,which makes it a good choice for food packing and pharmaceutical packaging industry.   

Aluminum foil used for packaging is aluminum alloy products with a thickness of 0.2 or less.     By the difference of thickness, aluminum foil can be classified as thick foil,“single zero foil(0.0x mm in thickness)” and “double zero foil(0.00x mm in thickness)”. Packaging aluminum foil mainly includes 1000,3000,8000 series aluminum foil products.The common grade are 1050,1060,3003,8011, alloy tempers are commonly  H14, H16, H18 .
The development of aluminum packing  market has benefited from the boom of China's packaging industry.This also greatly spurred the consumption of  aluminum packing foil, China's annual demand for aluminum foil has reached more than 300,000 tons.China now is the third packaging aluminum power after the    United States and Japan.In the next few years, the growth rate of  packaging aluminum material will be much faster than that of  aluminum  material used for air- conditioning and cable industry .
