Colombia has a developed food packaging industry. As one of the important raw materials for food packaging, aluminum foil has been widely used in Colombia's vertical flexible packaging market. However, with the continuous development of the industry and consumers' pursuit of high-quality products, traditional aluminum foil can no longer meet market demand. 8079 alloy aluminum foil has become the research hotspot and development direction of aluminum foil enterprises due to its unique advantages in vertical flexible packaging.
The Superiority of 8079 Alloy Over Traditional Aluminum Foil
Traditional aluminum foil used in vertical flexible packaging is generally made of 1050 or 3000 series aluminum alloy. Compared with traditional aluminum foil, 8079 alloy aluminum foil has the following advantages:
Higher strength. 8079 alloy aluminum foil has a tensile strength of about 140MPa, which is about 30% higher than that of traditional aluminum foil. Its high strength enables it to better withstand high-speed packaging and transportation.
Better formability. 8079 alloy aluminum foil is easier to form into complex shapes during packaging production due to its excellent formability, which helps improve packaging efficiency. The forming performance is about 30% better than traditional aluminum foil.
Superior corrosion resistance. 8079 alloy contains manganese as the main alloying element. Manganese can effectively improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum foil. The corrosion resistance of 8079 alloy aluminum foil is 2-3 times that of traditional aluminum foil, extending the shelf life of packaged foods.
Outstanding barrier performance. 8079 alloy aluminum foil has a density of about 2.7g/cm3 after working, which is higher than traditional aluminum foil and has excellent gas barrier and moisture barrier properties. It can better block oxygen and prevent moisture from entering the packaging to extend the shelf life of foods.

Customization service. HTMM can provide customers with customized services such as aluminum foil coating, printing and slitting according to their actual needs to achieve personalized packaging solutions.
The Bright Prospects of 8079 Aluminum Foil in Colombia's Flexible Packaging Market
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards in Colombia, the demand for high-quality packaged foods is increasing. As an important raw material for food packaging, aluminum foil plays an irreplaceable role. However, traditional aluminum foil can no longer meet the needs of vertical flexible packaging applications in terms of strength, formability and barrier performance.
8079 alloy aluminum foil, represented by HTMM aluminum foil, has obvious advantages over traditional aluminum foil in terms of mechanical properties, oil resistance, and barrier performance. Its application can effectively improve packaging efficiency, extend product shelf life, and meet consumers' increasing pursuit of high-quality packaged food.
Colombia's vertical flexible packaging market still has broad prospects. On the one hand, as people's consumption upgrades, the demand for high-end and diversified packaged foods will continue to increase. On the other hand, with the promotion of "green environmental protection" concepts, aluminum foil has incomparable advantages over other packaging materials due to its infinite recyclability.
It is predicted that by 2025, the market size of Colombia's flexible packaging industry will exceed US$5 billion. As the main raw material for vertical packaging, the demand for high-performance aluminum foil such as 8079 alloy will maintain a rapid growth rate above 10% annually.
HTMM, as a large aluminum foil supplier, is actively responding to market opportunities. It will further expand production capacity, optimize product performance, enrich product categories, and enhance technical services to fully meet the diverse needs of Colombia's vertical flexible packaging market.
In summary, with the advantages of high strength, excellent formability, outstanding barrier performance, and infinite recyclability, 8079 alloy aluminum foil represented by HTMM aluminum foil has obvious application advantages and broad application prospects in Colombia's vertical flexible food packaging industry. It will play an irreplaceable role in promoting the high-quality development of Colombia's flexible packaging and food industries.
