Aluminium Foil Selection

Match the foil to the product, process, and shelf-life target.

How to choose the right aluminium foil

The right foil depends on barrier requirement, gauge, alloy, temper, sealant layer, print surface, reel width, packing line speed, and the product being protected. Pharmaceutical packaging typically prioritizes pinhole control, moisture barrier, and heat-seal lacquer performance, while confectionery and lidding applications depend more heavily on dead-fold, seal strength, aroma retention, and print finish.

Custom specifications and converter-ready supply

Smelton Alu-Tech supplies aluminium foil in customer-specific widths, gauges, coatings, laminates, reel dimensions, and print configurations. Share your application, machine type, sealing conditions, container substrate, regulatory needs, and target shelf life so our team can recommend a suitable foil structure.
