The Quality, Benefits and Differentiation of Aluminium Single Serve Portion Capsules for Drinks

Abstract

Aluminium capsules can be used as the final packaging for any type of powdered foods, such as tea or vitamin and similar hot drinks. Aluminium represents a 100% barrier, is impermeable, extends the shelf life of the final product, is recyclable and an alternative to plastic. A wide range of individualized products, including the capsule as attractive single-use possibility, made it possible to satisfy the preferences and expectations of consumers.
Currently two main materials for single serve portion coffee capsules are in use: aluminium and/or plastic based.
