Because of its intrinsic and versatile properties of lightness, strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, non toxicity etc., a wide range of uses has opened up for this metal. Aluminum as a packaging material is unmatched owing to its light weight, hygienic and non-contamination which eventually results in longer shelf-life of end products.

Aluminum foil is a thin sheet of metal. As such it can be an absolute barrier to moisture, gases, odors, bacteria and molds. The high reflectivity of aluminum ensures good protection against radiant heat, whilst its opacity is important in preventing deterioration of a very large range of foods and drinks which are affected by light. It is used for packaging and non-packaging uses. The growth of this industry has been in the recent past, owing to the growing application of foil in a variety of products.
