3003 Container Aluminum Foil

3003 container aluminum foil is an Al-Mn alloy foil engineered for semi-rigid food container forming. Compared with 8011 container foil, 3003 container aluminum foil delivers approximately 10% higher strength through manganese addition (Mn 1.0–1.5%), while retaining good corrosion resistance and deep-drawing performance. This makes 3003 container aluminum foil a preferred raw material for containers that need wall rigidity without excessive thickness - takeout trays, airline meal pans, and multi-compartment food boxes.

Key specifications:

Functional advantages: Higher strength than 8011 reduces foil gauge without sacrificing container rigidity · O temper gives elongation sufficient for one-step deep drawing of complex cavities · Clean-degreased surface supports direct food contact · Consistent flatness for high-speed automatic container lines.

Henan Yongsheng Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd. produces 3003 container aluminum foil at its Gongyi, Henan facility, within China's largest aluminum sheet and strip processing cluster. The company operates a 100,000-ton-per-year high-precision aluminum foil project and holds import/export rights covering aluminum foil products.

3003 container aluminum foil from Yongsheng is rolled from prime-grade Al-Mn stock, not secondary material. Key production controls include:

• Grain structure control to reduce earing rate during deep drawing, lowering trimming waste for container manufacturers
• Inline thickness and flatness gauging to maintain consistent gauge across the coil
• Degreasing verification before slitting and packing

Standard 3003 container aluminum foil output is supplied in jumbo coil; slitting to customer widths and core diameters is performed in-house.

Yongsheng maintains ISO 9001 quality management and holds food-contact compliance documentation for 3003 container aluminum foil covering FDA 21 CFR 175.300, EU Regulation 1935/2004, and GB 4806.9, with aluminum migration controlled to ≤1 mg/kg. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies each lot.

Quality flow for 3003 container aluminum foil:

• Incoming coil: alloy composition verified against 3003 Mn range (1.0–1.5%)
• Rolling/annealing: tensile and elongation checked per temper
• Finishing: pinhole count, surface cleanliness, and flatness inspected
• Pre-shipment: retained samples and CoA cross-referenced to coil ID

Third-party inspection (SGS, BV) is available on request. The company has supplied 3003 container aluminum foil and related foil products to buyers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

 3003 container aluminum foil is specified where container strength matters more than the absolute lowest material cost. Its applications span food service, catering, baking, and non-food semi-rigid packaging.

Takeout & Food Service Containers. 3003 container aluminum foil is formed into heat-resistant takeaway trays, meal boxes, and compartment plates. The alloy's higher strength than 8011 allows thinner gauge to achieve comparable tray rigidity, reducing material consumption per container. It withstands oven and warming-cabinet temperatures without collapse.

Airline & Railway Catering. Semi-rigid 3003 container aluminum foil trays are used for sealed meal service on airlines and rail operators, where container integrity under stacking and reheat cycles is critical.

Baking & Confectionery. Egg tart cups, cake molds, and bakery trays use 3003 container aluminum foil in H24 temper for shape retention during baking and demolding. The foil's barrier properties block moisture and oxygen, extending shelf life.

Pet Food & Semi-Rigid Lidding. Pet food trays and foil lids benefit from the corrosion resistance and forming consistency of 3003 container aluminum foil, particularly for retort-adjacent applications requiring a secure seal.

Non-Food Semi-Rigid Containers. Beyond food, 3003 container aluminum foil serves pharmaceutical blister backing and industrial oil pans where aluminum's barrier and temperature resistance are required.

• Temper: O for deep-drawn complex shapes; H22/H24 for wrinkle-wall or semi-rigid trays requiring rigidity; H18 for flat lids and high-strength components.
• Thickness & width: 0.03–0.15 mm standard for 3003 container aluminum foil; width slit to 150–1,600 mm. Tighter tolerances quoted on request.
• Surface: Bright/matte combinations, degreased for food contact. Lubricant coating available for high-speed stamping.
• Core & coil weight: 76 mm or 152 mm ID; coil weight up to 2,000 kg.
• MOQ: 1–3 MT per size for 3003 container aluminum foil; trial coils accepted.

 Pre-sale support includes temper selection guidance based on container depth and line speed for each 3003 container aluminum foil inquiry. Food-contact documentation - FDA, EU 1935/2004, and CoA - is supplied with shipments. A 12-month quality response window applies to 3003 container aluminum foil, with batch traceability through coil markings and retained samples. Export documents (invoice, packing list, CO) and third-party inspection coordination are handled in-house. Payment: T/T and L/C at sight.

 3003 container aluminum foil is packed for sea freight in wooden cases or on wooden pallets with plastic film and craft-paper wrapping. Coil eyes are protected; labels show alloy, temper, thickness, width, coil ID, and net weight.

A 20′ container loads approximately 18–22 MT of 3003 container aluminum foil, depending on coil weight and packing configuration. Primary loading port: Qingdao; Shanghai and Tianjin available on request. FOB, CFR, and CIF terms accepted. Lead time: 15–25 days for custom 3003 container aluminum foil production; stock specifications quoted on inquiry.
