8011 Aluminum Foil for Beer neck label packaging

8011 aluminum foil is used for beer neck label packaging. Its characteristics can maintain the freshness and quality of beer and provide effective protection and decoration effects.

The aluminum foil on the beer bottle is actually the thin, slightly wrinkled seal that surrounds the neck and mouth of the bottle. This aluminum foil material has good ductility and stretchability, and is easy to print. In recent years, as the requirements for beer hygiene standards continue to increase, this aluminum foil seal has gradually become a common choice for bottle neck sealing of beer, fruit wine, and high-end soy sauce, because it can effectively seal the package and maintain the quality and freshness of the product.

8011 aluminum foil is used for beer neck label packaging. Its characteristics can maintain the freshness and quality of beer and provide effective protection and decoration effects.

Aluminum foil for beer labels is one of the packaging materials in the beer or wine industry, which is characterized by strict process requirements. The thickness of beer label aluminum foil is 0.010-0.0115mm, and the width specification is 300-500mm.

Why choose 8011 aluminum foil for Beer neck label packaging?

Using 8011 aluminum foil packaging on the neck of beer bottles can protect the label, maintain the quality and freshness of the beer, and enhance the brand display of the product. In addition, it can also ensure compliance with food safety and packaging requirements.

  • 1. Protect the label: 8011 aluminum foil can effectively protect the label on the beer bottle neck, preventing the label from fading, damage or deformation due to the influence of the external environment. This helps keep the product's appearance clean and ensures that consumers can clearly identify the product.
  • 2. Keep beer fresh: Aluminum foil can provide effective isolation, preventing external air, moisture and light from entering the inside of the beer bottle. This helps maintain the freshness and quality of your beer, extending its shelf life.
  • 3. Provide brand display: By adding aluminum foil packaging to the beer bottle neck, brands can add a layer of visual appeal to product packaging. Brand logos, names or other decorative patterns can be printed on the surface of aluminum foil to enhance the brand awareness and market appeal of the product.

8011 aluminum foil is commonly used in packaging applications due to its excellent properties such as moisture resistance, barrier properties and the ability to maintain the integrity of packaged products. Especially for beer bottle neck label packaging, 8011 aluminum foil can be an excellent choice due to its ability to create a tight seal around the bottle neck, protecting the label and maintaining the freshness of the beer inside. It provides a barrier against moisture, oxygen, and other external factors that may affect the quality of your beer.

801 aluminum foil can be easily customized to meet the specific requirements of packaging, including thickness, width and surface treatment. Additionally, it is lightweight and flexible for convenient packaging applications.

Advantages of 8011 aluminum foil for beer neck label packaging

Compared with paper labels, 8011 aluminum foil has the advantages of easy processing, good printability and fit, and will not affect printing and labeling due to filament flow. The processed 8011 aluminum foil has been glazed, smooth, clean and bright. Suitable for gravure or flexo printing. It is not limited by colors, patterns and designs.

Beer bottle label aluminum foil pinhole and surface quality requirements

  • Pinhole requirements: There should be no visible pinholes or other obvious defects on the surface of 8011 aluminum foil. This is because pinholes can cause a beer bottle to not seal tightly, affecting the quality and shelf life of the beer.
  • Surface quality requirements: The surface of 8011 aluminum foil should be smooth without obvious unevenness or defects. The surface should be clean and free of stains or other impurities to ensure the label's printing quality and appearance.
  • Glossiness requirements: The glossiness of the aluminum foil surface is also one of the important quality indicators. An overly glossy or too rough surface may affect the printing and appearance of the label.
  • Thickness Uniformity: The thickness of aluminum foil should be uniform to avoid uneven thickness. This helps ensure accurate printing and good appearance of the label.

The surface quality requirements are high, and oil spots and obvious marks are not allowed on the surface of aluminum foil for beer labels. After the beer label is printed on aluminum foil, small holes need to be punched evenly on the surface. This is a special process requirement for beer label aluminum foil. Therefore, the pinhole requirements of aluminum foil for beer labels are very strict, and pinhole defects are almost not allowed to appear on the surface. If there are a large number of original pinholes on the beer aluminum label foil, it will seriously affect the brewery's labeling speed and label quality.

Beer bottle label and bottle cap aluminum foil production technology

  • Raw material preparation: Selection and preparation of aluminum materials, usually aluminum plates or aluminum coils.
  • Hot rolling/cast rolling smelting: The aluminum material is heated to the appropriate temperature, and then rolled or cast to form preliminary aluminum plates or coils.
  • Composition adjustment: Adjust the composition of aluminum materials as needed to ensure compliance with product requirements.
  • Fixed furnace refining: Through the fixed furnace refining process, impurities in aluminum materials are removed and the purity of aluminum is improved.
  • Online degassing: Use online degassing equipment to remove gas from aluminum materials to reduce defects such as pores.
  • Add grain refiner: Add grain refiner to improve the grain structure of aluminum and improve product performance.
  • Filtration: Remove impurities and solid particles from aluminum materials through filtration equipment.
  • Casting and rolling: The aluminum material is cast and rolled to form the required thickness and width.
  • Cold rolling: cold rolling aluminum materials to further adjust their thickness and flatness.
  • Medium-thickness heat treatment: Medium-thickness heat treatment is performed on aluminum materials to adjust their structure and properties.
  • Aluminum foil rolling: Aluminum materials are made into thin and uniform aluminum foil through a rolling process.
  • Double rolling: The flatness and surface quality of the aluminum foil are further improved through the double rolling process.
  • Finished product slitting: Cut the aluminum foil into strips of appropriate size according to customer requirements.
  • Finished product heat treatment: The finished aluminum foil is heat treated to further improve its performance and stability.
  • Inspecting packages: Finished products are inspected and then packaged to ensure product quality and integrity.

These steps may vary depending on the production equipment and technology level of the specific factory, but generally constitute the production process of beer bottle labels and bottle cap aluminum foil.
