Coating: Although many brands cover the inside of the foil with a non-stick layer to help prevent food from sticking and clean up afterward. Usually, silicone and BPA-free non-stick coatings are used.
Closure use: tin foil food containers seal and keep food fresh through folding or crimping. Read more Some have adhesive strips or flaps for sealing. Heat resistance: tinfoil containers can tolerate 400°F/200°C for brief stretches of time that they are safe to use with hot food.
Tin foil containers have several benefits compared to other food packaging materials:
Cost: Foil is cheap to produce, and this, therefore, saves the cost of the container, especially when contrasted with the cost of reusable plastic containers.
Disposable: Because with foil packaging you only need to throw them away after being used, there are no dirty dishes, and consequently no washing up afterwards.

Microwave and oven safe (in moderation): As explained earlier, tin foil plate tolerate short exposures of high temperatures from the microwave when you're heating leftovers. It's a throwaway, not reusable or recyclable like most disposables. But then, its production processes are friendlier than synthesizing plastics.
The vast majority of foil containers consumed in the Middle East are produced locally by HTMM, a specialist aluminum packaging company based in China. Here’s a brief overview of its production processes:
HTMM sources its material in the form of premium, high-purity aluminum coils from leading suppliers worldwide.
-Slitting: The modern slitting lines will be used to slit coils to the required widths for lids and container bodies.
The shapes are punched using dies on the sheet of aluminum.
Forming: Shallow drawing is used for making aluminum sheet into shaped body parts of the container while folding lids. Machining involves the use of deep drawing and computerized machines.
Non-stick coating: Thin non-toxic coat on selected surfaces is applied through a dedicated line for this purpose.
Packaging: After the containers are fully formed, counted, strapped, and placed in cartons, they are ready for distribution.
Aluminum Foil Contianer Quality Control:
At each stage, the process is under intense scrutiny to deliver a uniform and safe product.
This swift and efficient method allows HTMM to deliver over 4 billion eco-friendly, BPA-free aluminum foil trays to the Middle East region annually. With advanced production capabilities and regional proximity, HTMM holds a competitive advantage in the market.
