Russia and Kazakhstan are important chocolate consumption markets in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. According to statistics, the annual consumption of chocolate per capita in Russia is about 5 kg, ranking among the top ten in the world. Kazakhstan's annual chocolate consumption per capita is also increasing year by year. However, due to differences in climate and other factors, consumers in these two markets have higher requirements for chocolate packaging materials. They prefer packaging that can effectively block light and moisture to maintain the quality and freshness of chocolate for a long time.
Aluminum foil has become the first choice for chocolate packaging materials in Russia and Kazakhstan due to its excellent light blocking, moisture blocking and gas barrier properties. According to market research, about 80% of chocolates in Russia and Kazakhstan are packaged with aluminum foil. The most commonly used aluminum foil grades are 8011 aluminum foil and 8079 aluminum foil. Among them, 8011 aluminum foil, known as "gold aluminum foil" due to its golden appearance, has occupied about 60% of the chocolate aluminum foil market share due to its outstanding performance.
The advantages of 8011 alloy aluminum foil in chocolate packaging
8011 aluminum foil contains manganese as the main alloying element. The addition of manganese makes 8011 aluminum foil stronger, softer and easier to form than pure aluminum foil. These properties determine that 8011 aluminum foil has the following advantages in chocolate packaging:
Excellent ductility. 8011 aluminum foil has good plasticity and is easy to form into various shapes during packaging production. It can be tightly wrapped around chocolates of different shapes without breaking or wrinkling. This fully wraps and protects the chocolates.
High strength. 8011 aluminum foil has a tensile strength higher than that of pure aluminum foil and other aluminum alloys such as 8079 aluminum foil. It can well maintain the packaged shape of chocolates and prevent deformation during transportation.
Beautiful appearance. 8011 aluminum foil has a golden brown color, which is very delicate and elegant. It matches the luxurious image of chocolates and is visually appealing. Consumers in Russia and Kazakhstan have a high recognition of the "gold foil" packaging of chocolates.
Good barrier performance. 8011 aluminum foil can block ultraviolet light above 98% and has excellent moisture blocking performance. It can effectively prevent chocolates from exposure to air and retain their original flavor, texture and nutrition for a long time.
Easy recycling. 8011 aluminum foil is 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without any loss of properties, giving it an environmentally friendly advantage.
Wide application. 8011 aluminum foil is very easy to process and form. In addition to basic foil packaging, it can also be used to make self-standing pouches, printed sheets and other high-value-added packaging solutions through forming and printing. This brings more choices for chocolate companies.
Reasonable price. Benefiting from economies of scale in production, the current market price of 8011 aluminum foil is affordable for most chocolate companies.
