Aluminum for food and beverage packaging
Converted foil for lids, induction seals, confectionery wrappers and packaging laminates. With food-contact lacquers and inks and the FSSC 22000 system, made and converted in Mexico.
What a converter or packer asks for
A seal that won't bond stops a filling line; a lid that tears on opening ends up on social media. Both depend on the foil's lacquer, gauge and temper, and on their compatibility with your container.
Almexa rolls and converts in the same chain, under FSSC 22000, and always asks for the container substrate before proposing a lacquer.
