Aluminum Foil Tray Key Features and ConsiderationsAluminum foil trays are designed to work in conjunction with container systems, and they have the following valuable properties:
-Durable and heat-resistant for use in the oven or microwave for heating.
-Provides a barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light.
-Strong, lightweight and rigid.
-Accepts food directly in contact with the tray.
-Recyclable and environmentally friendly.
Considerations When Using Aluminum Foil Trays With Containers for Foil TraysWhen using aluminum foil trays with a Container for Foil Tray, consider the following procedures:
-Don't allow strong acidic/salty foods to remain in contact with aluminum foil trays for long periods of time.
-Ensure foil trays are of a sufficient thickness to prevent deformation during use.
-Always use a compatible lid/container so that liquid will not leak out.

Uses and Applications of Aluminum Foil TraysAluminum foil trays and the appropriate Container for Foil Tray have many different uses, including:
-Use for takeaway/delivery food packages.
-Use for airline/railway catering.
-Use for bakery and dessert packaging.
-Use for ready-to-eat meals/frozen food.
-Use for catering/large quantity meal preparation.
In all instances where aluminum foil trays are used as the main holder for the food, it is the container that protects the food, provides for stacking convenience, and enhances presentation.
Using aluminum foil trays as part of an integrated aluminum foil container system gives clear beneficial aspects to both.
The following are benefits:Structural Capability
Aluminum foil trays provide structural capability to the container itself that helps to prevent deformation of the tray from the stack while being transported.
Food Safety
The combination of aluminum foil trays and aluminum foil containers helps to reduce the likelihood of food product contamination and helps to keep the food product sanitary.
Thermal Properties
A good thermal property of aluminum foil trays is that they can distribute heat uniformly throughout the tray while aluminum foil containers help to keep the trays from being disrupted.
The logistics of storage and shipping can be improved due to a commonality in the shape of tray containers.
Both aluminium foil trays and containers can be recycled; therefore the overall environmental effect is lessened.
