What is aluminum foil jumbo roll raw material?
Aluminum foil jumbo roll raw material refers to large rolls of aluminum foil that are used as the basic raw material for downstream flexible packaging processors to produce various aluminum foil packaging products. Our aluminum foil jumbo rolls are produced on advanced rolling mills from high-purity aluminum ingots. The rolls have a width of 200mm-1000mm , providing bulk raw material for large-scale producers.
The most common aluminum foil gauges we supply in jumbo rolls are 6-15μm. For applications that require higher strength, we also offer 8011 aluminum foil jumbo rolls in gauges from 15-50μm. The aluminum surface is pre-treated to have excellent adhesion properties for printing and lamination. The jumbo rolls ensure maximum material yield for our customers with minimal waste.
Advantages of aluminum foil jumbo roll raw material
There are several key advantages to using our aluminum foil jumbo rolls as the raw material:
Cost-effectiveness: The jumbo roll format provides bulk packaging of aluminum foil in large quantities. This enables significant savings in transportation and warehousing costs per unit weight compared to smaller reels or sheets. The big roll size also improves productivity and reduces changeover time at customer factories.
Minimal waste: Processing directly from jumbo rolls eliminates trimming and edge loss, minimizing material waste. Our precision rolling and slitting process ensure tight thickness tolerances to maximize usable film. This improves end-product yield for customers.
Consistent quality: Our stringent quality control system and certification to international standards like ISO 9001 ensure consistent material properties across the entire jumbo roll length and between different product batches. This provides reliable performance for customer production.
Flexibility: Despite the large roll size, our slitters can easily re-slit the jumbo rolls into narrower widths according to customer requirements. This “width on demand” flexibility simplifies inventory and improves factory workflow.
Sustainability: The space-saving jumbo roll format reduces packaging, storage and transport waste. As aluminum is infinitely recyclable, using bulk foil helps minimize the material's environmental impact.
Main applications of aluminum foil jumbo roll raw material
Our aluminum foil jumbo rolls have various applications based on the film thickness and surface properties.
Flexible packaging: Both Printed and BOPP/CPP laminated aluminum foils from jumbo rolls are turned into food packaging bags, pouches, lidding films and other flexible packages protecting snacks, coffee, confectionery and more.
Pharmaceutical packaging: Especially suited for high barrier packaging of tablets, capsules etc. thanks to the moisture and gas barrier of aluminum. The material meets stringent pharmaceutical regulations.
Cigarette packaging: Very thin gauge foils are used as the innermost layer protecting cigarettes from moisture. The glossy surface suits printing cigarette branding.
Food service packaging: Heating bags, cooking pouches, ovenable trays and other disposable foodservice items leverage aluminum foil's heat resistance and durability.
Heavy duty industrial packaging: Extra thick gauge jumbo roll foil above 30μm is made into bulk bags, sack lining, mulch film and other demanding non-food applications.
Advantages of using 8011 aluminum foil jumbo roll
Among the various grades of aluminum foil we offer, 8011 aluminum jumbo rolls have some unique advantages:
High strength: 8011 aluminum contains 1.5% manganese which significantly improves the foil's breaking strength compared to standard pure aluminum. It can withstand higher processing and end-use stresses.
Heat resistance: The manganese additive also enhances 8011 aluminum's softening point, allowing it to maintain integrity and dimensional stability even after rigorous heating up to 250°C. This makes it well-suited for oven or BBQ applications.
Barrier performance: As an alloy, 8011 aluminum forms a denser, less permeable coating than pure aluminum foils. It can better protect products from gases, moisture, grease and flavors during cooking or sterilization.
Durability: The higher strength of 8011 aluminum foil allows it to withstand abuse and punctures better than regular grades. It maintains its functionality longer and resists damage during distribution, shelf-stocking and end-use.
Aesthetics: 8011 foil has a distinctive silvery luster compared to the duller shine of pure aluminum foil. This enhances package curb appeal for premium products. The surface structure also suits enhanced printing and adhesion.
Our factory price for aluminum foil jumbo rolls
We pride ourselves on offering factory direct wholesale pricing on our aluminum foil jumbo roll raw material to help customers maximize cost savings. Some key factors influencing our price quotes include:
Aluminum grade - 8011 aluminum foil rolls and extra thick gauges above 25μm are priced higher while standard pure aluminum foil is more affordable.
Foil thickness - Thinner gauges below 10μm are priced lower than thicker grades above 15μm. Customized gauges may incur a small premium.
Roll width and length - Can be customized according to customer needs.
Order volume - Bulk orders in full truck/container loads get significant quantity discounts over small lot purchases.
Payment terms - Advanced telegraphic transfers or letters of credit ensure lowest prices, while opening credit accounts may incur a slight surcharge.
We always strive to be transparent in our pricing to earn customers' long term trust. Feel free to contact us for a customized quote tailored to your specific project and volume requirements.
