Imagine receiving high-value machinery or critical components, only to find they have been damaged by moisture or light during transit. Such a scenario can be devastating, both in terms of cost and time.
At Inviker, we understand the critical importance of protecting your most valuable products. That’s why we have developed aluminium packaging solutions that ensure complete protection. From moisture barriers to mechanical resistance, our products are designed to maintain the integrity of your most precious goods in any environment.
In this article, we will briefly explore the key properties of aluminium and its importance in industrial packaging as a solution for total protection, explaining how aluminium barrier film can benefit your business and ensure the integrity of your products during transport and storage.
Aluminium material
Aluminium is a versatile metal that has made an indelible mark on history since its discovery in the 19th century. This lightweight metal is used in various industries, from aerospace to the production of kitchen utensils. However, one of aluminium’s most prominent roles is its function as a barrier material in the packaging industry.
The most notable characteristic of aluminium is its lightweight, making it an ideal material for applications where weight is a critical factor. Additionally, it is highly malleable and easily mouldable, allowing its use in a wide variety of shapes and designs.
Another fundamental property of aluminium is its resistance to corrosion. The oxide layer that forms on its surface provides protection against corrosion and gives it its characteristic silvery shine.
One of the most impressive aspects of aluminium is its recyclability. According to the International Aluminium Institute, around 75% of all aluminium ever produced is currently still in use. This remarkable rate of reuse not only underscores the durability of the material but also its efficiency and sustainability.
Recycling aluminium has a significant impact on reducing energy consumption. Producing aluminium products from recycled aluminium uses only 5% of the energy needed to produce them from raw materials. This results in lower carbon emissions and a smaller ecological footprint, which is economically and operationally relevant for industries that depend on aluminium.
The unique combination of physical and chemical properties cements aluminium as an essential material in industrial packaging.
Aluminium barrier film: insulation and security
Aluminium barrier foil is an exceptional solution from Inviker, designed to act as an effective insulation against the factors of deterioration. This material is ideal for protecting sensitive products from moisture, oxygen, light, vapour, chemicals, and other external contaminants.

Let’s review the benefits that aluminium barrier film offers:
- Complete insulation: provides a comprehensive barrier against moisture, preventing products from deteriorating due to exposure to water and environmental humidity.
- Light protection: ideal for products that can degrade with prolonged exposure to sunlight, ensuring they remain in optimal condition.
- Oxidation prevention: the hermetic sealing of aluminium barrier film protects against oxidation and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the products.
- High resistance: offers remarkable mechanical resistance during handling and transport, ensuring products arrive at their destination in perfect condition.
- Flexibility and ease of use: a flexible and lightweight material, making it easy to apply to products of various sizes and shapes, including large machinery and irregular items.
- Ease of maintenance: aluminium film is easy to clean and maintain in optimal conditions, ensuring continuous and effective protection.
- Recyclability: as a 100% recyclable material without any loss of its inherent properties, aluminium is a more sustainable option compared to other packaging materials.
Ideal applications
Aluminium barrier film is a reliable option for a wide range of applications, particularly in export and maritime transport. Its resistance to adverse weather conditions ensures long-term safety of products.
The most common format is aluminium covers that can be customised to any required size. These covers provide airtight seal and superior protection.
It is a heat sealable material thus providing a fully protected environment. With the heat-sealing tweezers, the cover is sealed, leaving the minimum gap necessary in the seam to extract the air and create a vacuum inside the cover. All that remains to be done is to seal the last part.
The aluminium barrier film can be used in:
Export
Protects high-value industrial products during international transport, ensuring they arrive undamaged.
Maritime transport
Ideal for protecting products sensitive to moisture and corrosion during long sea voyages.
Diverse industries
Packaging of machinery, engineering parts, electronics, telecom equipment, automotive parts, instruments, medical devices, and sensitive chemicals that require robust protection against external contaminants.
