Packaging
The smooth touch is nice, or maybe something crinkly – as long as it looks good. It will taste better then. Over and over again.
Sometimes beauty is skin deep
Only experts deal with aluminium foil and strip, especially in the sensitive areas of foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals. This goes for customers as well as for suppliers. What’s fun is that aluminium has an unfair advantage in packaging applications. The metal has an inherent beauty – sleek silver – and offers high thermal resistance. Other strengths:
- Aluminium is impenetrable to light, gas and water vapor
- Aluminium offers nearly unlimited possibilities in packaging design and functionality
- Aluminium can be recycled and used, again and again
Hydro has a strong position
Beverage can manufacturers and aluminium foil customers must choose only the best and most reliable suppliers. Hydro has a strong position in these markets.
One example why: The beverage can on your kitchen table is about 30 percent thinner than it was in 1990 - and the drink probably tastes better today. This has to do with knowing the metal, and driving toward ecological balance. We have other examples, too.
