The packaging of food with long shelf life requires materials that can provide an excellent barrier to oxygen. Aluminium is ideal due to its light weight and exceptional durability. Ariflex’s particular speciality is chocolate and dairy products, and it is one Europe’s leading producers of soft cheese packaging.
