What are the benefits of aluminium foil when packing food?

Although there’re a few disadvantages to using aluminium foil compared to other packaging products, the advantages truly outweigh the negatives. Aluminium packing is flexible, light and easily recyclable. It maintains the freshness of food for a long time and gives protection from light, UV radiation, water vapour, oils and grease and microorganisms.

Apart from these, aluminium foil containers also have the following advantages:

• Aluminium foil is sterile & therefore hygienic

• Impermeable - Aluminium has an excellent barrier against light, air and microorganisms.

• Thermal conductor – This material transfers heat evenly & very quickly.

• Foil wrapping is ideal for anyone who’s storing food that will be reheated in the near future. Since aluminium foil can endure high temperatures, it makes this food packing material the best tool for the job.
