Direct B2B procurement

Manufacturing
For most buyers, the fastest custom packaging route is to use an existing tray mold, confirm lid fit, then customize carton, label, embossing, or sleeve before considering new tooling.
Custom aluminum foil packaging does not always require a new mold. Many food brands can launch faster by selecting an existing container size and customizing outer cartons, barcodes, labels, sleeves, or embossed branding.
Manufacturing
Choose OEM when you already have a defined product specification; choose ODM when you want the supplier to recommend sizes, lids, packing, and launch-ready options.
OEM usually starts from a buyer's target specification, drawing, sample, or brand requirement. ODM usually starts from the factory's existing product range and development experience.
Engineering & Customization
Alustar's five design-patented container structures are intended to distribute load more effectively through the base, opening, rim, and corners. Buyers should verify any strength advantage with like-for-like filled tests using the same material, dimensions, piece weight, temperature, support, and handling route.
A foil container does not become dependable because one rib looks deep. Base geometry, wall transitions, opening, rim, and corner radius work as one load path when a filled tray is lifted, stacked, transported, reheated, or served.
Buyer Resources
Choose lids by application: board lids for economical takeaway, PET dome lids for display, PP lids for some chilled and delivery routes, and sealing film for automated meal packing.
A foil tray can look correct in a catalog and still fail in real delivery if the lid does not match the rim tightly. The rim profile, rolled edge width, corner radius, tray depth, and filling height all affect how the lid performs.
Size Guide
Start with real Alustar products, then confirm the application, finished-piece specification, lid and packing as one order.

Buyer Resources
MOQ is not one factory-wide number. A plain tray from an existing mold may start with a production-friendly trial quantity, while a printed retail pack, embossed logo, special coating, dedicated lid, new tool, or low-volume mixed SKU adds a separate material or setup minimum. Break the project into tray, lid, artwork, carton, tooling, and shipment MOQs before negotiating a launch plan.

Design & Engineering
Alustar does more than select a catalogue size. Its team can translate a food portion, load, lid, equipment envelope, packing route, and brand requirement into a structural concept, controlled 2D drawing, 3D forming review, tooling trial, and finished container.
Workshop & Production
The workshop uses organized equipment layouts, clear logistics aisles, and hands-on checks to support stable aluminum foil container production and export packing. Buyers can review shapes, rim structures, lid compatibility, packed samples, and display ranges before confirming tooling or bulk orders.
Certificates
Review the published document scope, date, tested sample and stated result, then confirm which files apply to the actual order.
