ALUMINUM FOIL TRAYS: A COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE TEST AND COMPARISON REPORT

(Introduction Title) Seeking a High-Performance Packaging Solution Based on Data

The food delivery packaging market is facing increasingly stringent requirements. This is especially true for high-value, hot, and liquid products such as pho, noodle soups, and individual hot pots. Packaging must not only ensure food safety. It must be an engineered tool that maintains the temperature and integrity of the product throughout the entire delivery process. In this context, aluminum foil bowls have emerged as a potential solution.

However, to make an accurate investment decision, F&B businesses need more than just marketing claims. They need data. They need experimental evidence of performance. 📝 This report was conducted by our laboratory with the aim of providing an objective overview, based on standardized tests. We will compare the performance of what are aluminum foil bowls against other common materials on the criteria of heat retention, spill resistance, durability, and safety. The results of this report will serve as a scientific basis to help you choose the most optimal packaging solution.

1. Testing Protocol: Evaluating the Performance of Aluminum Foil Bowls

To ensure objectivity and scientific rigor, we have established a standardized testing protocol. This was applied to three common product types: aluminum foil bowls, PP plastic bowls, and PE-coated paper bowls.

Establishing the test environment and parameters for aluminum foil bowls

• Name: Protocol Test T-01: Food Container Performance

• Icon: 🧪

• Content:

  • Test Subjects:

    1. Disposable foil bowls (1000ml volume, with foil-laminated paperboard lid).

    2. PP Plastic Bowl (1000ml volume, with PP plastic lid).

    3. Double PE-Coated Paper Bowl (1000ml volume, with paper lid).

  • Test Environment: Laboratory at a controlled temperature of 25°C (±1°C).

  • Test Sample: 800ml of purified water heated to 98°C.

  • Measurement Equipment: Digital contact thermometer, compression testing machine, orbital shaker simulating transport.

The report categories for testing aluminum foil bowls

Central Theme: Performance Test Categories

• Branch 1: Thermal Retention Test

  • Objective: To measure the ability to maintain the temperature of hot water over time.

• Branch 2: Durability Test

  • Objective: To evaluate spill resistance, deformation, and compression strength.

• Branch 3: Material Safety Analysis

  • Objective: To review safety standards and the risk of chemical migration.
    These are the three core categories for a comprehensive evaluation.

2. Heat Retention Test Results: The Performance of Aluminum Foil Bowls

This is one of the most critical performance indicators for foil soup containers. The ability to keep broth piping hot directly determines the customer's experience.

A comparative chart of the heat retention of aluminum foil bowls

• Method: We poured 800ml of 98°C water into all three bowl types and sealed the lids. The temperature was measured at 15, 30, and 45-minute intervals.

• Measurement Results:

An analysis of the heat retention test results

"The results show that foil bowls with lids have a superior heat retention performance. After 45 minutes, the water temperature in the aluminum bowl was still 8-9°C higher than the other two types. The reason for this is the thermal reflectivity of the aluminum surface. The foil acts like a mirror, reflecting the thermal radiation from the hot water back inward. In contrast, the plastic and paper bowls primarily retain heat through insulation, which is less effective." - Excerpt from the analysis report.
This result proves that aluminum is the optimal choice for maintaining the quality of hot dishes.

3. Durability Test Results: The Structural Integrity of Aluminum Foil Bowls

For a delivery service, the durability of the packaging is vital. A leaky or dented bowl not only ruins the meal but also destroys the brand's image.

The spill and deformation tests for aluminum foil bowls

1. The "Shake" Test: Our engineers filled all three bowls with 800ml of colored water and sealed them. They were then placed on an orbital shaker that simulated a 3km delivery route. The result: The aluminum foil bowls and the PP plastic bowl did not leak. The paper bowl showed slight signs of seepage at the lid.

2. The "Thermal Deformation" Test: Immediately after filling with 98°C water, we checked the rigidity of the bowl walls. The result: The disposable foil bowls retained its original rigidity. The PP plastic bowl walls became noticeably softer and were easy to deform when held.

3. The "Stacking" Test: We stacked three full bowls on top of one another. The result: The aluminum containers for food had the best load-bearing capacity, with almost no change in shape.

An analysis of the results and the price of aluminum vs plastic containers

• The "Before" Picture - Low Cost, High Risk:
  Plastic and paper bowls may have a lower purchase price. But they bring a high risk of spills and customer complaints. The cost of handling one complaint (refund, voucher) is often many times greater than the packaging cost difference.

• The "After" Picture - Reasonable Cost, Low Risk:
  The price of aluminum foil bowls is slightly higher. But it brings absolute peace of mind. It reduces the rate of delivery incidents to nearly zero. It helps to maintain customer satisfaction and brand reputation. This is an investment in stability.

4. Material Safety Analysis: The Standard for Aluminum Foil Bowls

High performance must go hand in hand with absolute safety. This is the category where aluminum foil bowls show the biggest difference compared to their competitors.

An analysis of the risks from other materials

• The Myth: "PP plastic is heat-resistant, so it's safe."

• The Truth: 🧐 PP plastic can withstand microwave temperatures, but it is still plastic. With prolonged contact with hot broth (especially fatty broths), the risk of microplastic and additive leaching is real and scientifically documented.

• The Myth: "Paper bowls are eco-friendly and safe."

• The Truth: 🧐 The PE (plastic) coating inside paper bowls to make them waterproof poses a similar risk to plastic bowls. Additionally, the glues and inks on paper bowls can also be sources of chemical contamination if not controlled.

The safety standard of foodservice packaging

Safety Rating Scale for Hot Liquid Containers:

• Styrofoam Bowl: 1/10 (Very Dangerous)

• PE-Coated Paper Bowl: 5/10 (Average, with risks)

• PP Plastic Bowl: 6/10 (Fair, still has microplastic risks)

• Food-Grade Aluminum Bowl: 9.5/10 (Very Safe) ✅

The reasons why what are aluminum foil bowls is rated highest are:

• Inert Material: Standard-compliant aluminum does not react with food.

• Polymer-Free: 100% elimination of microplastic leaching risk.

• High Heat Tolerance: Does not degrade or release harmful chemicals even with boiling broth.
  To ensure this, users should source from reputable suppliers like Loc Tu.

5. Report Conclusion: Aluminum Foil Bowls Are the Optimal Choice

Based on all the experimental data and analysis, this report reaches a clear conclusion: aluminum foil bowls are the superior high-performance and safe packaging solution for hot and liquid foods.

A summary of the key findings of the test report

• On Temperature: Aluminum foil bowls retain heat better, delivering a piping hot meal to the customer.

• On Structure: They are sturdier and more spill-proof, protecting the food and the brand's reputation.

• On Safety: They eliminate the risk of microplastics, providing absolute peace of mind.

• On Aesthetics: They provide a premium, professional look and feel.

Recommendations from the laboratory

The "Loc Tu" Story:
When developing the Loc Tu aluminum foil bowls, our R&D team conducted similar tests. We didn't just want to create a product; we wanted to create an optimized solution.

• We tested various aluminum thicknesses to find the perfect balance between rigidity and weight.

• We designed the rim and lid with high precision to ensure a 100% leak-proof seal.

• And most importantly, we only use a source of virgin aluminum with full Food Grade certification.
  Therefore, every Loc Tu bowl is not just a product. It is the culmination of research and a commitment to quality.
