Advantages of Aluminum boxes

At first, aluminum is non-toxic which is the same as our commonly used food grade tinplate, so it is safe and healthy to use aluminum boxes to pack food. As our common carbonated drinks packaging cans are made of aluminum.


In addition, aluminum also has the characteristics of low density, lightweight, acid and alkali resistance, and is not easy to be corroded, so many customers who make solid perfume and lip balm will choose aluminum boxes for packaging, which can not only block the light to avoid the quality of products affected by light but also ensure that the packaging box will not affect the appearance of products because of rust.


At last, scrap aluminum can be recycled, which is environmentally friendly. It can save energy and avoid damage to the environment, and its recycling value is much higher than scrap tinplate.
