How to choose aluminum plated and aluminum foil packaging bags

2023-08-01

Customized packaging bags have a variety of styles and different composite materials, resulting in different product performance.We will introduce the difference between aluminum plated packaging bags and aluminum foil packaging bags, and which one is more suitable for you.

  • Aluminum plated is a thin layer of aluminum boiled on top of a plastic film, which is essentially a plastic film, while aluminum foil is metal.

  • The barrier performance of aluminum plated is far inferior to that of aluminum foil, as the thickness of the aluminum layer is not as thick as that of aluminum foil.

  • There are many types of aluminum plated, such as aluminum plated PET film, aluminum plated CPP film, aluminum plated OPP film, aluminum plated PVC film, as well as aluminum plated nylon film, aluminum plated PE film, and even aluminum plated TPU film. Aluminum foil is aluminum foil, but of course, aluminum foil has different thicknesses and uses, and we will provide a detailed introduction in the future.

  • The cost of aluminum plated is low, and aluminum foil bags use more metal aluminum, resulting in higher production costs.

  • Due to the fact that aluminum foil is a metal material, there will be creases that cannot be removed after folding, which is not the case with aluminum plated plastic films.

  • The stiffness of aluminum foil products is higher than that of aluminum plated films.

  • The moisture-proof, barrier, and cooling effect of aluminum foil packaging bags are better than those of aluminum plated bags. Aluminum foil bags completely avoid light, while aluminum plated bags provide shading effects. The metal aluminum on the aluminum plated bags actually serves more as shading and decoration.

  • Aluminum foil bags can be vacuumed and can be used for cooked food, rice, and other foods, while aluminum plated bags are more suitable for tea, electronic products, and so on.

In summary, if your product needs to be protected from light, water, and air, and is not very concerned about its appearance or used as an inner packaging, it is recommended to use aluminum foil packaging bags(such as zip lock aluminum foil bag,aluminum foil stand up pouch). If your product requires less stringent storage conditions and requires a more attractive outer packaging, we recommend using aluminum plated packaging bags.
