Aluminum Surface Treatment
| Surface Treatment | Description | Features |
| Bright (One side bright/ Two sides bright- for single rolled) | Bright Aluminum Foil has a highly reflective, smooth, and glossy surface. | Enhanced heat reflectivity and barrier properties. |
| Lubrication | A thin layer of specialized lubricant is applied to enhance surface properties and prevent sticking. | Prevents scratches, galling, or tearing during conversion. |
| Lamination | Laminated Aluminum Foil is combined with other materials to improve its performance. | This offers enhanced packaging options, greater flexibility, and is well-suited for printing. |
| Coating | The surface of coated Aluminum Foil is treated with paint or resin coatings. | This enhances corrosion resistance, provides optional heat sealability, and adds a decorative color finish for improved surface performance. |
Packaging of Aluminum Sheet
| Protective Wrapping | Edge Protection and Cushioning | Securing and Palletizing |
| Aluminum Foils are carefully wrapped with waterproof materials, such as plastic film or kraft paper, to shield against moisture, dust, and contamination in transit. | Edge protectors and padding are applied around the coils to prevent physical damage, dents, or scratches during handling and shipping. | The wrapped coils are securely strapped to wooden or metal pallets using durable steel or plastic bands, ensuring stability and safety in transit. |
