How To Make Containers Out Of Aluminium Foil
Foil unwinding
Place the container foil in the unwinder, which unwinds it and feeds it directly into the unwinder for unwinding. Container foil is usually made in giant rolls because we are a manufacturer of mass-produced aluminum containers. Then the giant roll of aluminum foil is straightened to avoid misalignment during the stamping process, which requires manual inspection at all times.
Lubricating rolls
The oiler is inside the machine and contains lubricating oil. Avoid damaging the aluminum foil during friction.
Fastening foil rolls
The machine also has a tension device inside to prevent the foil from sagging or loosening during the entire process, preventing the production of defective containers.
Stamping device
The stamping device presses the foil into the shape of the container through a die, and at the same time separates the residual aluminum foil from the newly made container. The stamping device has a single-cavity or multi-cavity mold, which can produce one or more aluminum foil containers in one press. The mold determines the shape and specifications of your container.
Container collection
Collecting the aluminum foil containers is the last step in the production process. This step can be collected manually by humans or automatically stacked by an automated production machine. Fully automatic machines can not only automatically stack, but also count.
Waste Collection Device
The waste collection device can compress the waste foil during the production process. Generally, the waste is compressed into blocks and sent for recycling.
Things To Note When Using Aluminium Foil Containers
Remove the lid
When you use a covered foil dish in the microwave, always remove the lid. The lid will prevent heat from reaching the food, causing uneven heating. Especially if it is a cardboard lid, it is easy to catch fire if you heat the cardboard lid for a long time.
Place in the middle
When using an aluminum foil lunch box, place it in the middle of the oven and avoid direct contact with the heat source. Keep it about 2 cm away from the surrounding walls to avoid deformation or damage.
Cooling food
When you prepare to refrigerate food in the refrigerator, you should first let the food cool to room temperature without generating heat and moisture. When putting it in the refrigerator, the aluminum foil lunch box should be placed in the lower level of the refrigerator. It is recommended to use tin foil to re-wrap liquid food in containers before refrigeration.
How To Choose Foil Containers
Know Your Needs
Foil containers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including foil trays, foil baking pans, foil cups, foil bowls, and foil pans. The specific type depends on your packaging needs. For example, if you want to collect grease and juices dripping from the grill, an aluminum foil drip pan is the best choice.
Container quality
How to choose a good quality aluminum foil box? You need to learn to check the appearance. A good quality container has a smooth, flawless, and scratch-free appearance; check whether the edges of the container are cut neatly and have no burrs; weight inspection is also necessary. The weight of the foil container should meet the specification requirements and the deviation will not exceed 5%. The last is the seal inspection. When using the aluminum foil cover to seal, the high-quality aluminum foil packaging container is tightly sealed and not easy to spill soup. There will be no loose sealing, the edge does not fit the lunch box mouth, and the aluminum foil box will not deform or break when the aluminum foil cover is torn off.
Cost and quality
Although cheap aluminum foil containers are more attractive, it is difficult to guarantee the quality. High-quality aluminum foil containers have good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and can maintain shape and function during cooking. High-quality aluminum foil containers will not release harmful substances, ensure food safety, and will not be easily damaged during use.
Maintain Your Foil Containers
Washing
Wash the foil container by hand as much as possible, using a mild detergent and a soft sponge. Do not wash the foil container in the dishwasher at high temperatures, and avoid hot water and strong detergents that damage the surface.
Storage
When storing foil containers, keep them dry and avoid contact with moisture to prevent corrosion. You can put them in a clean cabinet or storage box to avoid direct exposure to air.
Avoid scratching
Use non-metallic knives and utensils in the container to avoid scratching the aluminum surface.
Do not reuse
Although foil containers can be used many times, they may become more fragile after each use. To ensure food safety, especially when handling foods with large temperature changes, it is recommended to use fresh foil containers.
Appropriate use
Aluminum foil is sensitive to acidic or alkaline substances, and prolonged contact may cause corrosion or deterioration. Therefore, avoid placing acidic or alkaline foods directly in foil containers. When using foil containers, avoid using them at extremely high temperatures. Choose microwave-safe foil containers for use in the microwave.
Regular inspection
Check the container regularly for deformation, scratches, or other damage, and replace damaged containers in time.

Aluminum foil containers are made of food-grade aluminum and can withstand higher temperatures. Although aluminum foil can react with certain acidic foods (such as tomatoes or lemons), this reaction generally does not cause safety issues for most foods. If you want to hold or cook acidic foods for a long time, it is best to put a layer of baking paper between the aluminum foil and the food. Aluminum foil containers are food-safe before and after use.
Some aluminum containers are labeled microwave safe, while others are not. If you do use foil containers, make sure they do not touch the walls of the microwave. Containers with sharp edges or points should not be used as they can create sparks. Remember to remove the lid when heating!
Yes, aluminum foil containers are effective at keeping food warm. Aluminum foil is a good conductor of heat, which helps keep food warm during storage or transport. The reflective surface of the foil reflects heat back into the food, minimizing heat loss. Many foil containers come with lids or can be covered with foil to create an airtight space.
Aluminum containers do not produce harmful substances when used normally and are harmless even after landfill. Aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers are 100% recyclable.

Whenever you cook or store acidic foods, use parchment or baking paper underneath. And try to minimize the amount of time food is stored in aluminum foil pans, especially acidic or salty foods.
When using an aluminum foil lid, it’s usually best to use the shiny side up. This helps reflect the heat, allowing the food to cook and color better. However, if you’re covering something to keep in moisture, you can use the dull side up, as it won’t make as much of a difference in this case. Just make sure the lid fits tightly to keep the steam and heat in!
It is safe to store vegetables in aluminum foil. Aluminum paper can block moisture and light to keep vegetables fresh, but it is not airtight. Consider using it in combination with an airtight container or bag.
