Aluminium packaging provides complete protection against moisture, light, oxygen, and bacteria. The flexibility of the aluminum to form any shape has made it the most versatile packaging material in the world. A key benefit of using aluminum in the packaging industry is that aluminum packaging materials can be 100% recycled and reused an infinite number of times. More than 60% of the aluminum used in the packaging sector is processed to foil or thin strips. Food and beverage can account for more than 20% of this production. A significant part of foil and sheets are also used in the making of flexible tubes and aerosol cans. The lightweight of the aluminum foil helps the manufacturers to transport more cans or any other aluminum packed goods at a single go. This is an eco-friendly process and saves a lot of transportation costs to the company.

Due to the high availability of substitutes in the food and beverages industry, packaging and quality of the product have always been a critical competitive factor. This is one of the primary reasons why food and beverages manufacturers invest more than 11% of the revenue on the packaging. Dry foods like aromatic herbs and spices are best preserved when packed in aluminum packaging medium. Lined cartons are the most favorable packaging method for many dry food products. Latest innovations in packing like the cylindrical design for an easy to open packaging mechanism, protective membranes under a plastic reclosable lid for repeated usage and perforated top seam for easy opening are revolutionizing aluminum foil packaging in the food industry.

The recent marketing strategies that involve promoting brands on food packages which are very common in the food products sold to children require the composition of more than one packaging material so that it is flexible for printing promotional ads. This leads to a considerable increase in the demand for aluminum foil packaging in the food industry.
