The food service and takeaway sectors in Africa are developing rapidly. Restaurants, barbecue stalls, bakeries, airline catering companies, and household consumers increasingly rely on aluminium foil rolls and containers for food wrapping, baking, roasting, and storage.
Aluminium foil is hygienic, heat-resistant, recyclable, and suitable for both hot and cold food, making it one of the most widely used disposable packaging products in the African market.
As demand continues to grow, more African distributors and wholesalers are choosing to import aluminium foil products directly from Chinese manufacturers.
China has a well-established aluminium industry chain, allowing manufacturers to control raw material quality and reduce production costs.
This enables African importers to receive stable quality at competitive prices, improving their profitability and market competitiveness.
Chinese manufacturers offer a complete range of thicknesses, widths, and container moulds, including:
Aluminium foil rolls in 14 / 15 / 18 / 20 / 25 micron
Household rolls (30cm × 50m / 75m / 100m)
Catering rolls (45cm × 90m / 300ft)
Popular food container models (8389, 8367, 8325, 8342, and many more)
Distributors can easily match product specifications to local market needs.
African wholesalers often need their own brand packaging to build market presence.
Chinese suppliers support:
Custom printed boxes
Logo embossing
Custom mould development
Mixed container loading
This allows buyers to differentiate themselves from competitors and grow stable customer networks.
Compared with small local converters, Chinese manufacturers have mature export packing systems, ensuring products arrive safely even after long-distance sea transport.
This reduces loss and improves distributor confidence.
During cooperation, African buyers generally focus on:
| Key Concern | Eming’s Solution |

| Packaging is strong for long sea freight | Reinforced cartons, pallet packing, waterproof film |
| Supply is stable, and repeat orders can be matched | Long-term factory production plan and raw material reserves |
