Some water-resistant, oil-resistant, acid-resistant,deodorizing wafer paper and other high-value-added functional papers are gradually increasing in use, which will become a bright spot that paper packaging companies pay extra attention to.
2. Aluminum foil packaging.
Aluminum foil has the character istics of being moisture-proof,light-proof and heat-retaining. Whether it is the inner packaging of chocolate or the outer packaging, the shadow of aluminum foil can often be seen. In general, aluminum foil is mainly used as the inner packaging for chocolate.

5. Compositematerial for packaging.
Composite materials have a variety of material physical properties and obvious protection and display capabilities. They are easy to obtain materials, easy to process, have strong material layers, and low consumption. They gradually became a popular packaging material for chocolate and candy. Most of the composite materials are based on flexible packaging. At present,the most commonly used materials are paper-plastic composite, aluminum-plastic material,and paper-aluminum composite. The inner packaging is compounded with PET and aluminum foil to maintain the luster, fragrance and shape of theproduct. This will prevent moisture and oxidation,prolong shelf life and protect product performance.
