Printed Aluminum Coils for closure AA8011 alloy
Signi's Printed Aluminum Coil is rolled to very fine tolerances to yield more closure per tonne of stock and to allow uninterrupted operation of high-speed, multiple-cavity presses. Its strength, high formability, low Earring and printable surfaces make it ideal for pilfer-proof caps and vial seals.
Signi aluminum supplies Printed Aluminum Sheet and coils for the manufacture of bottle closures. Applications range from screw caps for whiskey and other beverage bottles to aluminum closures for wine bottles.
Aluminum - the ideal material for the production of bottle closures:
is light weight is easily and economically recycled has superior barrier qualities has good formability offers a bright finish for decoration. |

| Printed Aluminum Sheet Packing |
| Sheet: Sheets are placed in wooden boxes on wooden skids with runners along the length of the sheet. They are wrapped in HDPE with hardboard on top and bottom of the stack. Hoop iron strapping runs along the length of the sheets. Silica gel packets are put in the boxes for moisture protection. |
| Alternatively, they are wrapped in a poly-laminated gunny or polythene, strapped with a hoop iron strap and clip and placed on a wooden pallet. Edge guards are used and the sheets are wrapped with protective thermocol sheets. |
| Coil: Coil is placed on wooden pallets in either eye-to-sky or eye-to-wall condition, wrapped in HDPE fabric and hardboard, and strapped with hoop iron. Silica gel packets are used for moisture protection. |
