Product description
3004 aluminium foil at 0.05 mm is a semi-rigid gauge supplied for container stock and lids, in widths from 100 mm to 1500 mm and on 76 mm or 152 mm cores.
At 0.05 mm the foil is at the lighter end of the container range. It is thin enough to keep a shallow tray or a lid economical, and thick enough to hold a wall and a corner radius after drawing. 3004 is one of the grades most often specified at this thickness because it draws predictably, which is why the same material appears in lids, smoothwall containers and lighter catering trays.
Alloy and temper have to match the depth of draw and the wall thickness of the container rather than a catalogue figure, so a container is usually quoted against the part itself. Where the container or lid is printed or lacquered after forming, surface condition matters as much as gauge; tell us the coating system and the intended use so that the surface can be agreed in advance.
Typical uses include lids and smoothwall containers, lighter takeaway trays and bowls, and catering containers. Where the part has to go from freezer to oven without distortion, tell us the temperature range it will see. A container that only holds an ambient or chilled product can usually be specified at the lighter end of the range.
Minimum order quantity is 3 MT per size, and loading is from Qingdao, Tianjin or Shanghai. Send the container or lid dimensions, the draw depth and the required temper, and we will confirm the specification that fits.
