8006 Aluminum Foil for Airline Meal Tray Raw Materials, Jumbo Aluminum Foil Rolls for Sale
Product Spotlights
In the field of airline catering packaging, aluminum foil meal trays have become the mainstream choice for in-flight meals due to their lightweight, hygienic, and recyclable advantages. The key factor that determines the quality of an aluminum foil meal tray lies in the aluminum foil substrate used.
At present, in the high-end wrinkle-free meal tray sector, 8006 aluminum alloy container foil is gradually replacing traditional 8011 and 3003 aluminum foil with its superior forming performance, becoming the preferred material solution for airline meal trays.
As a professional aluminum foil substrate supplier, we now provide stable supplies of 8006 aluminum foil jumbo rolls for airline meal trays to aluminum foil container manufacturers worldwide. The material is suitable for high-speed stamping equipment and supports customers’ secondary slitting and deep processing.
Why Use 8006 Aluminum Foil for Airline Meal Trays?
Airline meal trays are different from ordinary takeaway food containers. They have extremely strict requirements for surface flatness and forming consistency. Airline meals are usually produced in large-scale standardized batches, with high requirements for sealing performance and appearance quality.
8006 aluminum foil is a specialized container foil product developed precisely to meet these requirements.
Compared with conventional 8011 aluminum foil and 3003 aluminum foil, 8006 aluminum foil has the following core advantages:
1. Wrinkle-Free Forming and Smooth Edges
8006 aluminum foil is produced by a hot-rolling process. Its elongation and cupping value are significantly better than those of 8011 and 3003 aluminum foil.
During stamping and forming, the material flows more evenly. After forming, the edges are wrinkle-free, and the appearance is flat and smooth. This is exactly the key quality feature required for airline meal trays.
2. Higher Strength and Stable Forming
The tensile strength of 8006 aluminum foil can reach 123–135 MPa, which is about 10 MPa higher than 8011 aluminum foil.
Higher strength means that, at the same thickness, meal trays made from 8006 aluminum foil are tougher and less likely to deform during transportation and heating.
3. Food Grade Safety and Direct Heating
The product meets water-brushing Grade A standards, with a clean surface and no oil residue, fully complying with food contact material safety standards.
Aluminum foil itself is non-toxic and odorless, and can be directly used in heating scenarios such as ovens and microwave ovens. It does not produce harmful substances after heating.
4. Excellent Barrier Performance
Aluminum foil can effectively block air, moisture, and light. After sealing, it can fully protect the original flavor of food and extend the shelf life of food products.
5. Excellent Surface Quality
The aluminum foil surface is clean, free from oil stains, with few pinholes and uniform thickness, ensuring stable subsequent processes such as coating, embossing, and printing.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between 8006 aluminum foil and 8011 aluminum foil in meal tray applications?
A: 8006 is specially developed for container applications, and its strength and tensile properties are usually better than those of 8011.
If you produce deep or complex meal trays, or require stronger structural support, 8006 is the preferred choice. 8011 is more commonly used for shallow trays or ordinary household aluminum foil.
Q2: Can the width and thickness be customized?
A: Yes. As a manufacturer, we can customize the appropriate aluminum foil width and thickness according to your meal tray molds and stamping equipment specifications.
The conventional thickness of airline meal tray foil is usually between 0.04mm and 0.08mm, and the width can be slit and delivered according to customer requirements. Please provide detailed specifications when placing an order.
Q3: Are the aluminum foil jumbo rolls you provide plain foil or oiled/slit foil?
A: We supply plain aluminum foil master rolls, which are original aluminum foil rolls without oil coating or composite processing.
As a substrate manufacturer, we focus on providing high-quality plain foil. Meal tray factories can carry out subsequent processing such as slitting and oil coating according to their own production line requirements.
If special surface treatment is required, customization can be discussed in advance.
Q4: What are the packaging and transportation methods for aluminum foil jumbo rolls?
A: Aluminum foil jumbo rolls are packed in export-grade wooden cases or steel-frame packaging, with moisture-proof treatment inside to prevent moisture, collision, and deformation during transportation.
Transportation options include sea freight, railway transportation, or air freight. The best solution can be selected according to your delivery location and time requirements.
We have rich global export experience and can properly handle various international trade logistics.
Q5: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We usually accept T/T bank transfer, with advance deposit and balance paid before shipment, or L/C at sight.
For long-term cooperative customers, more flexible payment terms can be negotiated. The specific payment method will be confirmed with our sales team when the order is finalized.
Q6: How soon can you ship after placing an order? What is the regular delivery time?
A: The delivery time for regular orders is usually 15–25 days, calculated from receipt of advance payment or letter of credit, depending on order specifications and production schedule.
Urgent orders can be coordinated for priority production to shorten delivery time. Our sales consultant will provide an accurate delivery commitment when confirming the order.
