It should be acknowledged with respect to the vast Chinese market, catering and food packaging, foil container and container far from widely used. Many reasons for this phenomenon. Among them, the price factor, consumer awareness, sales and distribution of convenience are three main reasons.

A considerable number of catering enterprises in a competitive reasons, have to adopt in order to reduce the cost of low quality at the lowest foam lunch boxes and other plastic lunch boxes. In many businesses and consumers the impression, foil container is high-end products, only aircraft flight can use. But in fact, due to the decline in raw material prices and enhance production and processing technology currently qualified aluminum foil and plastic lunch boxes and biodegradable food containers has been compared to close. If we consider recycling, water conservation, transportation, energy and other aspects of heating can reduce costs, the price advantage has emerged.

Public understanding of the foil container is little advantage to foil container, the protection of their own health and little is known about the contribution of sustainable use of attitudes and habits not yet formed. A considerable number of consumers and catering business personnel have cognitive errors, for example, that the use of foil container vessels will lead to "aluminum poisoning", aluminum containing heavy metals and other hazardous substances, in fact, its aluminum foil surface layer of dense oxide layer, the chemical properties of the oxide layer is relatively very stable, if not in strong acid environment does not precipitate aluminum ion, and processed food containing normal use is no problem. The so-called aluminum poisoning are using substandard food additives produced with aluminum foil irrelevant. In fact, in foreign countries, aluminum foil containers, aluminum foil meal boxes had already entered the restaurant, supermarket, household use is widespread. There are a lot of people mistakenly believe that aluminum foil is "foil" is granted that contain heavy metals, scarce resources, but also affect the popularity of the use of aluminum foil.

China is already the largest producer of aluminum foil and exporter, also includes aluminum foil container aluminum foil products, including the largest exporter. However, the acceptance of consumer habits and other reasons, the domestic consumption of container foil container and less aluminum foil products will sell more businesses to focus on exports. Domestic foil container and container sales and distribution network is not perfect, not marketing efforts, the cost of the initial investment and market development is also larger, with domestic production and sale of other non-compliance oversight of lunch boxes and containers is not enough , more chaotic market competition order, which restricted the wider use of foil container and packaging containers.
