Cigarette aluminum foil is applied for inner packing of cigarettes, it is offered in micron thickness soft foil laminated to paper.

An aluminum foil paper laminate provides certain characteristics, such as dead fold and emboss ability, which other bundling materials cannot offer.Tobacco benefits from aluminum foil’s unequalled barrier properties in the same way as other sensitive natural products.
 
The aluminum foil maintains an effective barrier against moisture and protects the tobacco from deterioration, aroma transmission and bacteria by sustaining a micro-climate in the package. With its non-returning dead-fold characteristic, aluminum can be formed to the desired shape with no “spring back” and provides the web strength and dependability essential to high-speed packing lines.

Tobacco is a perishable and often expensive consumer product and requires packaging that delivers it to the consumer in the very best of condition. Aluminium foil has been an integral part of this process since the 1950s. Aluminium foil has become the preferred barrier material, particularly for the inner liner of cigarette packets. This is because it combines the ability to retain the characteristic aroma peculiar to each blend and brand, within a unique quality of ‘feel’ and appearance which is light, robust and easy to re-seal. An aluminium foil paper laminate also offers mechanical qualities not available in alternative materials.

Packaging and Delivery of Haomei Al.

Aluminum products of Haomei Al. meet the export standard. Plastic film and brown paper can be covered at customers’ need. What’s more, wooden case or wooden pallet is adopted to protect products from damage during the delivery. There are two kinds of packaging, which is eye to wall or eye to sky. Customers can choose either of them for their convenience. Generally speaking, there are 2 tons in one package, and loading 18-22 tons in 1×20′ container, and 20-24 tons in 1×40′ container.
