Converter Foil

Converter foil is a key and growing product for Novelis' Light Gauge business. With multi-plant, fully integrated production, Novelis features consistent and reliable supply. Novelis' plant in Louisville, Kentucky is dedicated to producing foil used in converted packaging applications, and is well recognized for its customer focus and short lead times. Our large Indiana foil mill offers the same as well as the ability to produce heavier gauges in wider widths.

Aluminum foil supplied by Novelis is typically "converted" by our customers to a multi-layer sheet after passing through a laminator or extruder where it is sandwiched with another supporting material such as film or paper. The main applications for converter foil are flexible packaging and industrial applications.

Flexible packaging is used to make a package appealing, and to preserve its contents for future consumption. Aesthetically and functionally, converter foil meets these demands and more. Its high performance barrier properties protect products sensitive to heat and light, and its dead fold characteristics and decorative potential create unique packaging solutions that translate to shelf presence and brand awareness.
