Performance Characteristics
- Mechanical: enhanced stiffness from embossing improves feedability and reduces curling on packaging lines.
- Thermal: reflective surface aids temperature control in insulated applications; short-term thermal resistance suitable for hot-fill and some tray-sealing processes.
- Barrier: intrinsic moisture and oxygen barrier for short- to medium-term shelf life; can be upgraded via laminates or coatings for extended barrier requirements.
- Formability: good drawability and fold performance when processed within recommended parameters.

Mechanical Properties (Indicative)
| Property | Typical Value | Test Standard / Note |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Strength | 40–90 MPa (depending on temper) | Cold-rolled foil values vary with temper |

Embossing patterns and depths should be matched to the application: e.g., heavier embossing for tray-lidding stiffness, lighter micro-emboss for printable laminates.
Processing & Converting Guidelines
- Storage: Keep rolls in dry, temperature-controlled environment to avoid surface contamination and moisture pickup.
- Handling: Use appropriate roll-handling equipment to prevent edge damage; store upright on pallets or racks.
- Slitting: Use sharp knives and correct tension settings designed for thin foils; reduce burrs by controlling speed and blade angle.
- Laminating: Use adhesives compatible with aluminum and emboss levels; consider corona treatment or primer if printing/lacquering.
- Heat Sealing/Tray Sealing: Validate seal temperatures and dwell times to prevent foil deformation; embossed foils may require adjusted parameters for uniform seals.
- Forming: For deep draws, consider using a slightly thicker foil or a softer temper to avoid cracking.
Quality & Compliance
- Surface quality inspected for pinholes, tears, and foreign matter.
- Supplied with mill test certificates indicating chemical analysis, thickness, and mechanical data on request.
- Can be produced to comply with food contact regulations (EU, FDA) when processed in certified facilities and using food-grade lubricants/cleaning methods.
- Traceability: batch/coil numbers provided for quality assurance and recall readiness.
Advantages Compared to Plain (Non-Embossed) Foil
- Greater stiffness at same gauge — reduces material waste and improves packaging integrity.
- Better machinability on high-speed lines — fewer stoppages due to wrinkling.
- Improved tactile and aesthetic properties for consumer packaging.
- Enhanced thermal insulation when used in laminated or layered constructions.
Typical Use Case Examples
- Food Tray Lidding: 10µm embossed 8011 foil laminated to PET/PE offers good sealability and resistance to handling. Embossing improves stiffness for automatic feeders.
- Tobacco Foil: Jumbo rolls slit and embossed for cigarette inner liners; embossing adds tactile feel and reduces clinging.
- Pharmaceutical Backing: High-quality embossed 10µm foil used as protective backing in laminated blister packaging.
- Insulation Layers: Applied as reflective layers in insulated panels and cooler linings where lightweight thermal reflection is needed.
- Flexible Pouches: Laminates incorporating embossed foil for enhanced barrier and improved fold characteristics.
