Packaging material
Aluminum Foil Barrier Material for Flexible Packaging
High-barrier foil layer for coffee, supplements, pharma, aroma-sensitive food, and light-sensitive products.
Where aluminum foil is used
Aluminum foil is used in laminated packaging when oxygen, moisture, aroma, grease, or light protection must be stronger than standard plastic film. It is common in coffee bags, powder supplements, pharma packs, retort structures, and premium food packaging.
Selection logic
Use foil when shelf-life and barrier come before transparency or recyclability. If the brand needs a recyclable route, compare metallized film, EVOH, or mono-material structures, then validate against shelf-life targets.
Buyer notes
Confirm foil thickness, laminate structure, pinhole risk, heat seal layer, pouch format, filling method, and whether the product needs food-contact or other compliance files.

Buyer questions
What information should be confirmed before sampling?
Confirm thickness, width, material structure, surface treatment, heat seal requirement, printing method, roll direction, and destination market.
Can this material be used for food packaging?
Food packaging suitability depends on the final structure, product type, and required documents. Buyers should request available specification and compliance files for the selected structure.
What affects material price?
Price is affected by thickness, barrier layer, width, print coverage, order volume, packing method, and raw material route.
Can I request a datasheet?
Yes. Send the intended application and target specification so the team can return available technical data.
How is MOQ confirmed?
MOQ is confirmed by material grade, width, thickness, printing, lamination route, and whether custom production is required.
Send size, material and quantity for factory review
Attach artwork or a reference drawing if available. The team will check MOQ, sample route, lead time, and quotation logic against your target packaging structure.
Sample and Quotation Request
