Do You Really Know How To Use Aluminum Foil Products?

Rich usage scenarios and powerful functionality are important qualities of aluminum foil products, but some details are easily overlooked, which can seriously affect the use of aluminum foil products and make it difficult to fully utilize their excellent features. The selection and usage suggestions for the following three aluminum foil products are very important, especially the last point.
Both aluminum foil boxes and aluminum foil films have extremely strong heat resistance and can withstand high temperatures of around 260 ° C. But it does not mean that it is safe to use both when heated together.
The strong sealing and excellent barrier properties of aluminum foil film do indeed play a role in preventing leakage and bacteria. However, during the heating process, if the opening film is not torn off, it will result in ineffective heat dissipation in the lunch box, causing excessive pressure inside the container and potentially posing a risk of gas explosion inside the container.
In addition, when using a microwave for heating, it is also necessary to meet the requirement that the food container occupies about 80% of the capacity of the meal box
Pay attention to the selection of sealing caps
At present, there are three mainstream cover options for aluminum foil lunch boxes: ops transparent film, pp plastic cover, and aluminum foil film.
Some catering businesses choose OPS transparent film and PP plastic caps with relatively weaker sealing and heat resistance as sealing caps to save costs, while the main characteristics of their meals are high heat, high oil, and high broth. In this way, there may be situations such as spillage and overflow during the delivery process of takeout.
Therefore, it is recommended to make appropriate choices based on the characteristics of the food when selecting aluminum foil box sealing caps.
Secondly, some brands and businesses may choose to print LOGO/marketing advertisements and other text and graphics, which helps to enhance the brand/business's influence and visibility.
But currently, the printing technology for aluminum foil film mainly includes screen printing and color printing.
The former has clear printing, simple appearance, and clear content at a glance. Suitable for emerging or rapidly developing new star catering businesses. The latter has bright colors and rich color details, with soft transitions between colors and high clarity and contrast. Suitable for enterprises/businesses with business nature such as hotels, restaurants, chain catering brands, food processors, etc. that need to create brand image or have existing brand foundations.
Pay attention to the recycling of aluminum foil products
Aluminum foil lunch boxes can be recycled and reused multiple times while maintaining their characteristics. Compared with the production of primary aluminum, the energy required for the recycling process is only about 5%, and the greenhouse gas emissions are greatly reduced. After use, it is easy to compress and sort, and some aluminum foil boxes and containers can also be used for garbage power generation.
At present, some catering businesses or individuals may not be aware of the importance of recycling aluminum foil products. After dining, aluminum foil boxes are often dumped into kitchen waste along with leftover food, without proper waste sorting or hindering the effective recycling of aluminum foil resources.
