Aluminum Alloy 8011-O Printed Aluminum Foil for Candy & Chocolate Wrapping | Thickness 0.012–0.02 mm | Width 100–1000 mm | Color Lacquered & Embossed

Introduction                                                

The 0.012–0.02 mm 8011-O printed & embossed aluminum foil is currently the global premium standard for twist-wrap, flow-wrap, bar wrap and foil packaging of chocolate bars, pralines, candies, toffees, chewing gum and confectionery products.

Compared to 1235 (softer & more prone to pinholes) or 8079 (stronger but higher cost for ultra-thin gauges), 8011-O offers the optimal sweet spot for high-end confectionery wrapping:

Fully annealed (O temper) → maximum ductility & dead-fold retention

Ultra-low pinhole rate & consistent thickness → true high barrier & print quality

Excellent lacquer adhesion & embossing response → brilliant metallic shine & detailed patterns

Zero odor/flavor transfer even after long shelf-life

Surface & decoration:Color lacquered (single or double-side): gold, silver, red, blue, custom Pantone,Embossed patterns: diamond, linen, wood-grain, micro-texture, logo micro-emboss,Gloss level: high-gloss to soft satin,Warranty: 24–36 months no tarnishing, odor transfer or barrier loss

FAQ (USA/Europe/Middle East/Asia Buyers)

Q1: Why choose 8011 over 1235 or 8079 for premium candy & chocolate wrapping?

A: 8011 provides better tensile strength & tear resistance in the 12–20 μm range, lower pinhole rate, and superior embossing & lacquer adhesion — making it the preferred choice for high-end twist-wrap & flow-wrap. 1235 is softer & more prone to pinholes; 8079 is stronger but usually overkill & more expensive for confectionery.

Q2: What is the typical earing rate & how does it affect wrapping appearance?

A: Earing ≤2–3% (very low). This ensures uniform flange height & tight twist-wraps with no visible ears or wrinkles. We provide earing test reports & twist-wrap samples.

Q3: Can you provide full FDA / EU 10/2011 / GB 9685 compliance & migration test reports?

A: Yes — complete certificate package + third-party migration reports (SGS/Intertek) for direct food contact. Supports full regulatory dossiers for USA, EU, China, Japan, etc.

Q4: Minimum order quantity & lead time for custom embossing or color?

A: MOQ 3–5 tons (depending on embossing/color); standard gold/silver 15–25 days; custom embossing pattern or Pantone color 25–35 days. Sample rolls free with freight collect.

Q5: How does 8011 foil perform in high-humidity / tropical markets for chocolate?

A: Excellent — passes 30–40 °C / 90% RH accelerated aging for 24–36 months with no tarnishing, odor transfer or barrier loss. Tropical storage & humidity chamber data available.

Q6: Is the foil suitable for high-speed flow-wrap & twist-wrap machines?

A: Yes — uniform thickness tolerance (±0.001 mm) & consistent lubrication ensure stable running at 800–1200 packs/min. We provide high-speed line trial data & machine recommendations.
