Aluminium foil merupakan salah satu bahan pengemas dengan karakteristik yang baik. Ia memiliki sifat penghalang yang sangat baik dan dapat melindungi permen dari kelembapan, cahaya dan udara, membantu menjaga kesegaran dan memperpanjang umur simpan. Aluminium foil juga memberikan permukaan pencetakan yang bagus, yang sangat berguna untuk branding dan labeling.
Karena itu, aluminium foil dapat digunakan dengan baik untuk kemasan permen. The most suitable aluminum foil alloy for candy packaging usually depends on the specific requirements of the packaging process and the type of candy packaged. Namun, the most commonly used aluminum foil alloys for food packaging (including candy) adalah 8011, 1235 dan paduan lainnya.
Aluminum foil is used for candy packaging due to the following characteristics: Ketahanan terhadap kelembaban: Aluminum foil can effectively block moisture in the air, thereby protecting candies from moisture erosion and maintaining their taste and quality. Anti-oxidation: The sealing of aluminum foil can prevent candies from direct contact with oxygen, reduce the occurrence of oxidation reactions, and extend the shelf life of candies. Aesthetics: The surface of aluminum foil is smooth and easy to print various patterns and texts, which increases the aesthetics and attractiveness of candy packaging.
What alloy foil can be used well for candy packaging?
Paduan 8011 Alumunium foil: This alloy is widely used in food packaging due to 8011’s excellent forming and barrier properties. It is often used to package candies and chocolates.
Paduan 1235 Alumunium foil: This alloy is also often used in packaging applications due to its good flexibility and barrier properties.
Paduan 8079 Alumunium foil: This alloy has excellent formability and is often used in flexible packaging, making it suitable for packaging candies.
Paduan 3004 Alumunium foil: It has high hardness, good load-bearing properties, better stamping effect than 3003 alumunium foil, and good thermal conductivity. Although it is mainly used in food packaging fields such as aluminum foil lunch boxes, its excellent physical properties are also suitable for candy products with higher packaging requirements.
Aluminum foil is often laminated with other materials such as paper or plastic to increase its strength and flexibility, which is crucial for packaging candies that may be handled frequently. The thickness of aluminum foil can also vary, but for candy packaging applications, the thickness of aluminum foil is usually between 6 Dan 20 mikron.
