What types of aluminum foil containers do you have?
Classification by shape
YSA offers a wide range of container options, including rectangular, square, round, oval and compartmentalized containers, including full-size to quarter-size aluminum foil baking pans, baking containers, and specialty baking pans for bread, cakes and pies.
Classification by use
- Aluminum foil pan: Aluminum foil baking pan is a disposable, lightweight baking pan made of aluminum foil for baking, grilling and storing food. Aluminum foil baking pans have the advantages of convenience, good heat conductivity and affordable price. They come in various shapes and sizes, such as rectangular, square, round, etc.
- Rectangle Aluminum Foil Containers: Rectangle Aluminum Foil Containers are larger than regular household trays, making them ideal for preparing and serving large quantities of food. They come in a variety of shapes and depths to accommodate different types of dishes, from casseroles to roasts.
- Foil Steamers: Foil steaming trays are large, disposable trays made of foil and designed for steaming tables or hot pots. They are usually rectangular and fit into standard steaming table frames and hot pots.
- Foil Food Storage Trays: Foil food storage trays are disposable containers made of foil for storing and transporting food, usually with snap-on lids to keep food fresh and prevent contamination, making them ideal for storing leftovers, pre-prepared meals, or transporting food.
What thicknesses do you offer for your aluminum foil containers?
YSA is committed to providing customers with an extremely rich and diverse selection of aluminum foil containers. Our aluminum foil containers cover a wide range of thicknesses to meet your various requirements from light to heavy packaging. Our standard thickness ranges from 0.02mm to 0.147mm, which is precisely controllable. Different thicknesses are directly related to the strength, barrier properties, heat preservation/cooling effect and cost of the product.
- 0.02mm – 0.04mm: Ultra-thin and lightweight, economical and applicable, suitable for packaging products such as chocolate, candy, yogurt, etc.
- 0.05mm – 0.09mm: General type, suitable for packaging foods such as jam and pie.
- 0.10mm – 0.147mm: Thick and strong, suitable for freezing, baking, take-out and high-demand packaging.
Whether your application scenario is candy lining, food trays, freezer containers or baking molds, YSA can provide the most suitable thickness selection to ensure maximum product protection and cost-effectiveness.
What are the raw materials of aluminum foil containers?
YSA aluminum foil containers strictly use the internationally used 8011 and 3003 series food-grade aluminum alloys as raw materials. Through precise rolling and heat treatment processes, we provide products in various material states including O, H22, H24 and H18, giving containers different strength, formability and ductility, perfectly adapting to the diverse needs from flexible packaging to rigid containers.
The thickness specifications of the raw material aluminum foil are 0.03 mm to 0.20 mm, providing customers with flexible options to meet different application scenarios from lightweight packaging to high-strength load-bearing.
Can it be heated in a microwave oven?
Ordinary aluminum foil containers cannot be placed in a microwave oven for the following reasons.
- Arc risk: Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves to vibrate water molecules in food to generate heat. Aluminum foil reflects microwaves, causing charges to accumulate on sharp edges, which may cause arcs, fires or damage microwave ovens.
- Uneven heating: Metals shield microwave penetration, causing uneven heating of food, with some areas overheating while others remain cold.
- Equipment damage: Arcing can break through the magnetron inside the microwave, causing permanent damage.
For microwave heating, choose containers that are clearly marked “Microwave Safe”
 Is it safe to use aluminum foil containers?
Safety is our bottom line. All YSA aluminum foil containers have passed strict testing and certification by the world’s authoritative U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the internationally recognized SGS organization. These certifications ensure that our products fully comply with food safety standards when in contact with food, do not precipitate any harmful substances, and effectively protect the health of consumers.
Is the aluminum foil container environmentally friendly?
Aluminum foil containers have great environmental advantages.
From the material itself
- Infinite recyclability: The physical properties of aluminum are stable, and it can be 100% recycled without quality degradation. The energy consumption required to recycle aluminum is only 5% of that of primary aluminum production, which greatly reduces carbon emissions. In theory, 75% of the world’s aluminum products can be recycled.
- Lightweight carbon reduction: Aluminum containers are light in weight and have low transportation energy consumption. Under the same capacity, aluminum foil packaging is lighter than glass and plastic, reducing logistics carbon emissions
- Reduce food waste: excellent barrier properties extend the shelf life of food, indirectly reducing resource waste caused by spoilage
Measures to improve environmental protection
 Table1:
| Link | Effective solutions |
| Production side | Increase the proportion of recycled aluminum and use green electricity for production |
| Design side | Avoid composite structures and use single materials |
| Consumer side | Thoroughly clean the container → flatten → put it in the “aluminum products” recycling box |
| Policy side | Establish a special recycling channel for aluminum foil (such as the German “Green Dot” system) |
How to choose the right aluminum foil container？
To choose the right aluminum foil container, you need to consider the purpose, thickness, material, specifications, and whether special functions are needed. For different purposes, choose the appropriate thickness, material and specifications to achieve the best packaging effect.
How to transport after purchase?
YSA usually chooses sea transportation. Before shipment, we will put each aluminum foil container into a sealed plastic bag and fix it with a protective pad (paper/bubble film/foam) to prevent damage during transportation. Seal the carton with tape and label the outside of the carton with the destination and product information. Tie the carton tightly, load it into a container, and then ship it all over the world.
Can I buy your aluminum foil to make containers?
Of course, Henan Yongsheng Aluminum Co., Ltd. is located in Gongyi City, Henan Province, which is the largest aluminum product production area in China.
Our company has 25 years of experience in aluminum foil business. The main products include aluminum foil rolls, tin foil boxes, aluminum foil containers, aluminum foil trays, tin foil trays, aluminum foil raw materials, disposable aluminum trays, etc. Our company’s container foil is in stock, food grade, degreased and clean, with few pinholes, and coated with a layer of paint on the surface. It has good corrosion resistance, good stamping performance, and exquisite appearance. It is the source of raw materials for various aluminum foil container factories.
