O Temper or H Temper? How to Specify Aluminium Foil
Temper is the part of a foil specification that decides whether a gauge will form cleanly or crack on the line. This guide explains what O temper and H temper actually mean in metallurgical terms, how common H tempers such as H14, H16, H18 and H32 change strength and ductility, and how purchasing and process engineers can write alloy, temper, thickness and width into a single unambiguous enquiry.

Planning a Stable Aluminium Foil Supply Chain for Export Orders
Export orders rarely fail because a buyer cannot find aluminium foil; they fail when supply cannot keep pace with a quarterly plan. This guide looks at the practical side of a stable supply chain: why production depth across multiple bases matters, how a local sales office and warehouse shorten the distance between enquiry and shipment, and what buyers should align before the first order — specifications, temper, packing, and documentation for 1000, 3000, 5000 and 8000 series foil.

8011 vs 8079: Choosing Barrier Foil for Packaging
Both 8011 and 8079 aluminium foil are widely used as barrier layers in flexible packaging, yet they behave differently in pinhole resistance, surface quality and downstream processing. This guide compares the two alloys on the properties that matter most to converters, explains how thickness and rolling quality affect barrier performance, and outlines a practical way to match the foil to your pack structure, filling method and shelf-life target.
