Although aluminum foil lunch boxes have many advantages, so far, compared with the vast catering and food packaging materials market in my country, aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers are far from being fully marketed and applied. There are many reasons for this situation, among which price factors, consumer awareness, and convenience of market sales and delivery are three key reasons.
In the case of market competition in some catering companies, in order to better control costs, priority should be given to low-resistance PU foam lunch boxes and other plastic lunch boxes with poor quality. Aluminum foil lunch boxes are considered by many companies and consumers to be high-end products and can only be used on flights. But in fact, due to the decline in raw material prices and the improvement of production and manufacturing technology, the current comparison between aluminum foil and standard plastic lunch boxes and biodegradable lunch boxes has long been close.
Secondly, consumers know little about the advantages of aluminum foil packaging, the protection of their own physical and mental health, and the pursuit of sustainability, and the application awareness and habits have not been formed. Many consumers and restaurant owners have such a misunderstanding: they are worried that the use of aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers will lead to "aluminum poisoning."
In addition, due to consumer habits and acceptance, the consumption of aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers in China is relatively small, and aluminum foil lunch box manufacturers mostly focus on import and export. The market sales and distribution network of aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers in China is not yet perfect, the brand promotion is not strong, the initial capital investment and cost of market development are large, and China's poor supervision of the production and market sales of other unqualified lunch boxes and containers, and the market demand order are chaotic, all of which have constrained marketing promotion and application in a wider range.
