1235 Aluminum Foil for Cigarette Packing
HTMM's 1235 aluminum foil is well-suited for cigarette packaging applications due to its thickness of 6 microns and composition of 98.5-99.3% aluminum. Off ering excellent flexibility at such a thin gauge, the 1235 alloy allows foil to readily conform to packaging machinery and contours of cigarette packs. It also demonstrates barrier properties to protect cigarettes from moisture, gases, and aromas during storage and transport. Another key feature of 1235 foil is its printability - special pretreatments and finishing enhance its ability to clearly reproduce vibrant print and branding important for marketing. In fact, 1235 foil's smooth and reflective surfaces provide print that truly stands out on shelves.
Beyond cigarette packaging, HTMM has leveraged the universal qualities of 1235 foil for various flexible packaging needs. Its resistance to moisture and gases at ultra-thin gauges lends itself to applications like food wrappers, medical dressings, and chemical or pharmaceutical pouches. 1235 foil's strength and flexibility at 6 microns also enables unique packaging formats like pouches or rolled containers for snack foods, cosmetics and more. Overall, 1235 aluminum is one of HTMM's most versatile and high-performing products suitable for a broad range of packaging and wrapping applications beyond just cigarettes.
8079 Aluminum Foil For Cigarette Packing
For clients wanting a more economically-priced option, HTMM offers 8079 aluminum foil designed specifically for cigarette packaging use cases. Composed of 97-98% aluminum, 8079 foil maintains the critical 6 micron thickness and demonstrates barrier properties comparable to 1235 alloy at a lower price point. Though its surface finish and printability are not quite as high-quality as 1235 foil, 8079 alloy still meets cigarette manufacturers’ needs for moisture and gas barriers during packaging and storage. Like 1235 foil, 8079 alloy also exhibits the flexibility required to smoothly process through high-speed packaging equipment without breaks or defects. Plus, its reflective nature still allows brands to stand out on shelves despite a more basic surface treatment than 1235 foil. Overall, 8079 aluminum remains a cost-effective packaging material for the cigarette industry that performs reliably at a reduced cost.
Flexible Packaging Aluminum Foil
A leader in flexible packaging solutions, HTMM utilizes its extensive experience with 1235 and 8079 alloys to develop custom aluminum foil formulations for a variety of flexible packaging applications beyond just cigarettes. Whether clients need ultra-barrier properties for food, medical or chemical uses, or high reflectivity and printability for cosmetic and consumer product packaging, HTMM's technical experts work closely with customers to determine specification needs. They then leverage the company's specialized production capabilities to product custom alloy compositions, thicknesses, surface treatments and coatings to perfectly meet requirements. With a full spectrum of processing and converting operations, HTMM also offers roll and sheet coating, slitting, painting and other enhancing processes. The result is aluminum foil and foil laminate solutions engineered for any flexible packaging format including pouches, sachets, lidding films and more. Overall, no project is too complex for HTMM's technical prowess and customized aluminum foil manufacturing.
1235 8079 Other Uses of Aluminum Foil
While cigarette packaging was a main original usage, 1235 and 8079 aluminum alloys have found many other applications due to their inherent properties. For example, both alloys are well-suited for household foil like cooking wraps and bags due to high heat resistance, cutability and flexibility. Their barrier attributes also make the foils applicable for insulation batting and ducts in heating and cooling systems. On the industrial side, 1235 and 8079 foils see wide implementation as battery wrappers, capacitor films and semiconductor packaging given their resistance to chemicals and controlled thickness. The alloys further lend themselves to specialized uses like light blocking films for photography, high-end audio equipment and even astronaut helmets and spacesuits where reflectivity and barrier are supremely important. Overall, wherever extremely thin yet powerful foil is required, you'll likely find HTMM's 1235 and 8079 alloys supporting important uses across many diverse industries.
