This versatile specification is used in virtually all food packaging scenarios and is an incredibly important material for the entire food supply chain.

1. Household & Kitchen Use
The most common type of retail consumer roll used in households is food storage foil. Food storage foil is typically used by homeowners to store food daily, cover uneaten food in the refrigerator to avoid food odor cross-contamination, and wrap fruit, vegetable and baked goods to help preserve freshness. Food storage foil primarily helps when it is used for cooking by helping to line baking sheets and air fryers to catch drippings and make cleanup easier; wrapping meat and vegetables before grill or roast cooking to allow for even heat distribution and retain the moisture; and covering dishes while reheating in the oven. The 450mm width of food storage foil is desirable for covering large baking trays and roasting pans.

2. Commercial Catering & Food Service
Commercial catering and food service operations use food storage foil as a multi-functional cooking tool. In restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses, food storage foil is used to wrap hot and/or cold takeaway food, cover large platters during transportation to maintain heat and hygiene, and to line buffet trays and chafing dishes. The 450mm width is appropriate for wrapping large quantities of food, family-size meals, and party platters.

3. Food Processing / Industrial Packaging
Food makers utilize this foil for primary & secondary packaging. It serves the purpose of wrapping processed meats, cheeses & dairy products all of which spoil when exposed to the elements (air) due to its barrier properties. This foil is an integral part of laminated flexible packaging, where foil and plastic films join together to make high barrier pouches for snacks, coffee, and ready-to-eat meals, as well as sealing of containers and being used as a lid for yogurt cups and hot products thereby ensuring the integrity of products over time.

4. Confectionery/Bakery
Bakeries use 14mic 450mm foil to line baking sheets when they make breads/cakes/pastries. Bakeries also utilize the foil in order to keep products fresh and retain moisture by wrapping finished products in foil. Additionally, chocolate and gumball factories create decorative wraps using foil and produce a variety of other candies. Since foil can withstand high temperatures it can also be used when baking.
