8011 O Temper Food Grade Aluminum Foil for Food Packaging Jumbo Roll

8011-O Aluminum Foil Jumbo Roll for Food Packaging

8011-O aluminum foil jumbo roll is a fully soft annealed foil substrate designed for household foil converting, catering wrapping, food-service foil and flexible food-packaging applications requiring good flexibility, clean surface quality and reliable downstream slitting or rewinding.

The current product range covers 6-20μm thickness and 200-1600mm width, with commonly requested gauges including 9μm, 10μm, 12μm and 14μm. Standard core options are 76mm and 152mm, with jumbo roll weights from 100kg to 280kg according to the current product specification.

O temper provides a soft and flexible material condition suitable for rewinding, folding, wrapping, slitting and lamination. For stamped or deep-drawn aluminum food containers requiring substantially thicker foil stock and specific forming properties, dedicated container foil should be specified separately.

Food-contact suitability should be confirmed according to the actual foil surface, any coating or laminate, food type, contact time, temperature and destination-market requirements. Required declarations, migration reports or third-party test documents should be identified before production.

Why 8011-O Aluminum Foil?

Fully Soft Annealed O Temper

O temper provides a soft foil condition with high flexibility, making the material suitable for household foil rewinding, catering wrapping, folding and compatible flexible-packaging conversion processes.

Good Folding and Wrapping Performance

Thin 8011-O foil can conform closely around food and containers, helping it remain in place during wrapping, covering and food-service handling.

Suitable for High-Speed Rewinding

Jumbo rolls can be converted into consumer household rolls, catering rolls or other finished formats using suitable rewinding and slitting equipment. Roll winding quality, edge condition and tension should be matched to the converter's equipment.

Light and Moisture Barrier

Intact aluminum foil provides a strong barrier to light and can provide very high resistance to gas and moisture transmission. At very thin gauges, however, pinholes and converting damage can influence the effective barrier performance of the foil and finished package.

6-20μm Foil: Recommended Application Range

Household Aluminum Foil

8011-O foil within this gauge range is suitable for conversion into many household wrapping products used for covering, storing, freezing and preparing food according to the finished product specification.

Catering and Food-Service Foil

Jumbo rolls can be rewound into catering rolls for restaurants, hotels, bakeries, commercial kitchens and other food-service operations.

Flexible Packaging Conversion

Thin aluminum foil can be used as the barrier layer in compatible laminated packaging structures. The final laminate should be selected according to barrier, adhesive, heat-seal, food-contact and processing requirements.

Food Container Foil Requires a Separate Specification

The current 6-20μm product range should not automatically be specified for stamped or deep-drawn aluminum food containers. Container production normally requires substantially thicker foil stock together with a suitable alloy, temper, lubrication or coating condition and forming specification.

If you manufacture takeaway trays, airline meal containers, baking trays or smooth-wall aluminum containers, provide the finished container drawing and forming process so a dedicated container-foil specification can be reviewed separately.

Bright Side and Matte Side

Thin household aluminum foil is commonly produced by double rolling, which creates one bright side and one matte side. This visual difference results from the rolling process and should not automatically be interpreted as different barrier performance.

Surface Cleanliness

Food-packaging converters should define acceptable requirements for rolling oil residue, stains, oxidation marks, wrinkles, scratches and other surface defects that could affect downstream conversion or final appearance.

Surface Orientation

Where the finished product requires a particular bright or matte surface on the outside, winding direction and surface orientation should be specified with the purchase order.

Pinhole Control for Thin Aluminum Foil

Pinhole control is particularly important for thin foil. The thinner the aluminum foil becomes, the more important it is to define the permitted pinhole level rather than simply stating that every roll is completely pinhole-free.

Why Pinholes Matter

Where foil is used as the barrier layer in a laminate, pinholes can influence oxygen and moisture transmission through the converted package. The required pinhole acceptance level should therefore reflect the final product's shelf-life and barrier requirements.

Specify the Test Method

If pinhole performance is contractual, provide the required inspection method, inspected area, maximum permitted pinhole count and any applicable pinhole-size classification.

Barrier Performance

Light Barrier

Aluminum foil is opaque and provides an effective light barrier when the foil web remains intact.

Oxygen and Aroma Barrier

Intact foil can provide very high resistance to oxygen, aromas and other gases. Finished-package performance depends on foil gauge, pinholes, flex damage, laminate construction, seals and other converting details.

Moisture Barrier

Aluminum foil provides strong resistance to water-vapor transmission when intact. Where numerical barrier performance is required, buyers should specify the target WVTR and applicable test conditions for the finished laminate or package.

Food Contact Requirements

“Food grade” should be supported by documentation appropriate to the actual material construction and intended conditions of use. The aluminum substrate, surface condition, coating or laminate, inks, adhesives and any other food-contact components should be reviewed according to the destination market.

United States Food Packaging

For U.S. projects, provide the intended food type, direct or indirect contact condition, temperature and whether the foil is bare, coated or laminated so that the applicable food-contact documentation can be identified.

Requirements for a resinous or polymeric coating applied to aluminum should be evaluated separately from requirements for bare aluminum foil.

European Food Packaging

For European projects, specify whether the foil is supplied bare or as part of a coated or multilayer structure together with the food type and use conditions. Applicable declarations and migration or composition documentation should be confirmed for the complete food-contact construction.

Third-Party Testing

If SGS or another third-party inspection is required, identify the exact test items, food simulants, migration limits, destination-market requirements and test standard before production.

Contact with Acidic and Salty Foods

Bare aluminum foil can react with highly acidic or salty foods, especially during extended contact or elevated-temperature storage. Tomato products, citrus, vinegar-based foods and highly salted foods should therefore not automatically be treated as unrestricted long-term direct-contact applications for bare foil.

Where these foods are involved, provide the food composition, contact duration and temperature so that a suitable bare, coated or laminated construction can be evaluated.

Temperature and Cooking Applications

Aluminum itself tolerates a broad range of temperatures, but suitable food-packaging use is determined by more than the metal's temperature resistance. Foil thickness, contact with the food, coatings, laminates, adhesives and finished-package design must all be suitable for the actual process.

Freezing and Cold Storage

Suitable aluminum foil products can be used for many freezing and cold-storage applications where the finished package and food-contact conditions have been properly specified.

Baking and Oven Applications

Household and catering foil can be used in suitable conventional oven applications according to the finished foil product and appliance instructions. Any coating, printing, adhesive or laminated layer must also be approved for the intended temperature.

Sterilization Applications

High-temperature sterilized food packaging should be designed as a complete package system. Bare 6-20μm foil alone should not be assumed to define the suitability of a retort pouch or other sterilization package.

Flexible Food Packaging Applications

Aluminum Foil Barrier Laminates

8011-O foil can be incorporated into suitable multilayer laminates where aluminum provides the central barrier layer and polymer films provide printing, mechanical or heat-sealing functions.

Coffee and Dry-Food Packaging

Foil laminates can be developed for coffee, tea, powders, seasonings and other moisture- or oxygen-sensitive foods. Finished-package barrier depends on the entire laminate and seal system.

Frozen Food Packaging

Thin foil can be used within suitable laminated packaging structures for frozen products where flex resistance, sealing and low-temperature mechanical performance are confirmed.

Retort Packaging

Where aluminum foil is used in a retort pouch, the foil must be combined with suitable heat-resistant outer film, retort adhesive and retort-grade heat-seal layer. The complete structure must be validated under the actual sterilization process.

Converting Performance

Rewinding

Jumbo rolls can be rewound into household or catering rolls according to required finished length, width, cardboard core and packaging format.

Slitting

Custom widths can be slit from suitable master material. Finished width tolerance, edge condition and winding quality should be matched to high-speed converting equipment.

Lamination

Where the foil will be laminated to PET, PE, CPP, PA, paper or another substrate, buyers should provide the lamination method, adhesive system, drying or curing conditions and finished performance requirements.

Printing or Coating

If the foil will be printed, lacquered or coated, provide the downstream process and surface requirements so that cleanliness, surface energy and rolling-oil conditions can be reviewed.

Quality Control for 8011-O Jumbo Rolls

Thickness Control

Foil thickness should be checked against the approved nominal gauge and tolerance, particularly for high-speed household-foil converting and barrier-laminate production.

Width and Edge Quality

Width, slit-edge quality and telescoping should be controlled to reduce feeding problems during rewinding, lamination or slitting.

Pinhole Inspection

Pinhole requirements should be evaluated according to foil thickness and the agreed inspection criteria.

Surface Cleanliness

The foil surface can be inspected for excessive rolling oil, stains, oxidation, foreign matter, scratches and other defects that could interfere with food packaging or downstream conversion.

Roll Winding

Rolls should have controlled winding tension and suitable edge alignment to support stable unwinding on converting equipment.

Food-Contact Documentation

Where required, the buyer should identify the applicable food-contact test or documentation package before production so the agreed material can be evaluated against the intended use.

Export Packing and Shipping

Jumbo rolls can be protected with moisture-resistant wrapping and kraft paper before being secured on suitable export pallets or in wooden packaging according to roll dimensions and transportation requirements.

Packaging should protect roll edges, foil surfaces and cores against moisture, impact, shifting and deformation during inland handling and ocean transportation.

Available export documents can be confirmed according to the purchase order and destination, including applicable material documentation, inspection reports, commercial invoice and packing list.
