Colored aluminum foil is an increasingly popular material across industries, especially for single-use containers, chocolate packaging and more. Its versatility, aesthetics and functional properties make it ideal for food packaging, catering and event management. This article will take you through the different types of colored aluminum foil, where to buy them and the factors to consider when buying colored aluminum foil for single-use containers.
Colored aluminum foil refers to aluminum foil that has been treated or coated on the surface of pure aluminum foil to obtain a specific color. This process enhances the visual appeal of the aluminum foil while also enhancing the food preservation properties while maintaining its basic properties, such as light weight and moisture resistance. The most commonly used types of colored aluminum foil for single-use containers include lacquered aluminum foil, printed and laminated with PP film aluminum foil and double-sided coated aluminum foil. When it comes to chocolate packaging foil, customers usually require the aluminum foil to be painted and printed with their own logo.
Lacquered aluminum foil: This type of foil is usually coated with a layer of lacquer on the matte side of the aluminum foil at our HTMM factory. If the customer requires us to add a logo pattern on the surface of the aluminum foil, we will add a logo printing on its surface. Surface coating provides a layer of protection, enhancing its durability and resistance to environmental factors. We can customize lacquered aluminum foil for customers in various colors, which is suitable for branding and aesthetic purposes of chocolate packaging. Of course, if customers require us to emboss the surface of chocolate foil, such as with insect patterns, we can customize it for customers.
Printed lacquer and PP composite aluminum foil: The characteristic of printed lacquer and PP composite aluminum foil is that a layer of lacquer is printed directly on the surface of the aluminum foil, and it is laminated with PP film on the other side. This type of aluminum foil is usually used in the field of lunch boxes. Customers will customize printed lacquer and PP composite aluminum foil from our HTMM, and then use this material to produce lunch boxes and lunch covers, and finally use heat sealing technology to seal the food packaging box. The advantage of this lunch box is that it is easy to transport the food after packaging, and it can also enhance the anti-corrosion properties of the aluminum foil and improve the tensile strength of the aluminum foil. Usually, the aluminum thickness used by customers is 100mic and the PP film thickness is 50mic; the aluminum thickness of the dinner cover foil is usually 80mic and the film thickness is 50mic. Some customers also choose aluminum 65mic and PP film 45mic as the raw materials for the meal cover.
Double-sided coated aluminum foil: Double-sided coated aluminum foil is a pure aluminum foil with double-sided coating. The double-sided paint makes the aluminum foil material enhance its barrier and anti-corrosion properties. This type of aluminum foil can also be colored and is suitable for disposable containers that need to be both functional and visually attractive. It is usually used in the field of our airline lunch packaging. During our business trips by plane, the lunch boxes provided by the airline are all made of double-sided transparent coated aluminum foil. We HTMM can provide you with aluminum foil in a variety of double-sided coating colors, such as white coating, silver transparent coating, blue, pink, etc.

By incorporating logos and brand colors into packaging, companies can increase brand visibility and recognition. This is especially beneficial for foodservice and restaurants that want to leave a lasting impression on their customers.

We will roll the aluminum foil blank through multiple rolling processes to the thickness required by the customer. Then, we will put the rolled large coil into the annealing furnace for annealing. The surface of the aluminum foil will be annealed to the normal state of lunch box foil (H22/H24); Next, we will clean and dry the aluminum foil in two steps. Then, the most critical step is to color the aluminum foil on both sides or on one side, which depends on the customer's needs. Finally, we will dry it again, and then roll it up for slitting. Of course, if the customer needs to oil the surface, we will oil it first and then slit it, and finally package it.
