Although aluminum foil lunch boxes have many advantages, so far, compared with the vast market of catering and food packaging materials 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 cognitive ability, and convenience of market sales and delivery are three key reasons
In the case of market competition for some catering companies, in order to better control costs, low-resistance PU foam lunch boxes and other plastic lunch boxes with poor quality should be given priority. Aluminum foil lunch boxes are considered by many companies and consumers to be high-end products that can only be used on flights. However, in fact, due to the decline in raw material prices and the improvement of 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 have not formed application awareness and habits. 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 imports and exports. The market sales and delivery network of aluminum foil lunch boxes and containers in China is not yet sound, the brand promotion efforts are not strong, the initial capital investment and expenses for market development are large, and China's poor supervision of the production and market sales of other unqualified lunch boxes and containers, and the disorderly market demand order have all constrained marketing promotion and application in a wider range.
