Key Performance Benefits
Supporting materials that provide high strength for a low profile weight: important for saving weights and load distribution; The trays must support carrying loadings of hot or cold
Great Formability— each tray can be economically produced at speed and scale using automated and semi-automated forming machines.
Excellent Barrier Properties: It provides a barrier to moisture, air, light contamination, spoilage to not just keep the food fresh.
Also High Heat Resistance: Eat food—bake or microwave on air oxygen while you warm your food to 1,000 feet in cruise altitude.
Food Safety and Sanitation: meets all countries regulations for food packaging, no chemical reaction with chemistries of acidic and salty food agents.
Classed as foil under the broader category of material, Aluminium Foil 8011 H24 is a very economical and performance-efficient option for disposable trays used in airline catering.
The Food Use of 0.04mm Aluminium Foil
To see how Aluminium Foil 8011 H24 is used as a food use foil, consider the aviation catering environment in South East Asia, which has a very strong air travel environment with rapid growth of low-cost carriers.
In this region, airlines focus a lot on efficiency, cost control and overall performance in terms of operating economy class passenger services. For meal trays, the best option is 0.04 mm plain aluminum/aluminium foil. The plain aluminum foil had the required thickness to meet structural and thermal characteristics for food preparation, cooking and safety, BUT also kept the material to a minimum and therefore cost lower.
0.04mm aluminum foil is very good for:
Single meal trays for economy service
Meal hot and cold in dual-compartment food containers
Lidded foil containers - both for cooking and serving use

The use of the plain 0.04mm aluminum/aluminium foil challenges the efficiency of food product - safe storage for food and then re-heat, while at the same time presenting a minimal environmental impact from wastage as aluminium is recyclable items.
It is suitable for high-speed forming equipment, allowing producers to ensure consistent quality and fast turnaround times - it is therefore a preferred specification in highly travelled markets for catering companies with consistent flight schedules, and high consumption rates of trays.
Ensuring Supply for Global Demand
Manufacturers now supply 8011 H24 aluminum foil in many ways and varieties of dimensions, depending on customer requirements. There are large jumbo rolls of foil, and there are sheets pre-cut as blanks for tray forming. Suppliers now pay attention not only to the requirements for maintaining consistency around thickness, temper, and surface finish requirements - but also, and more importantly, ensure these factors maintain the precision to which the forming can be relied upon in container manufacture and quality control.
Through the production scale and the product versatility of Aluminium Foil 8011 H24, suppliers and manufacturers are better able to secure or solidify a consistent supply of quality raw materials for caterers / caterers in the airline tray manufacturing business and companies are able to more efficiently secure supply and streamline demands associated with procurement for multiple airline clients in multiple locations.
From materials science to market place applicability, Aluminium Foil 8011 H24 for Airline Tray production is practical, performance driven, and occasionally beautiful. Used for billions of airline meals in its exemplary balance of performance integrity in strength, formability, and cleanliness it remains an essential packaging material for airline meals.
The material is made from 0.04mm plain aluminum/ aluminium foil material. This application is specific for airlines to provide economical, lightweight, and durable tray applications. As demand continues to expand globally - particularly in fast growing aviation markets, the ability to supply 8011 H24 aluminum foil at volume will continue to be of utmost importance.
With the continued focus on food safety, operational efficiencies, and sustainability, Aluminium Foil 8011 H24 is positioned to continue to be an essential part of the future of inflight catering.
