Reynolds Family of Products : Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

In an effort to continually provide the best products, we've given Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil a new package design and a space saving carton size.
 

• Cartons have refreshed graphics and are more durable.

• The carton is smaller making it easier to handle and store, while still having the same amount of foil on each roll.
• The new carton is also longer so the edges of the foil are less likely to be damaged during shipping or storage.

General Info
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil is the most versatile of all food wrapping materials. It can withstand both heat and cold. Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil was first introduced in 1947. Since that time it has become one of the most immediately identifiable brands on the market. Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil is 98.5% aluminum. The balance is primarily iron and silicon. These are added to give the strength and puncture resistance obtained only in the alloy used in Reynolds household foil. Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil contains no recycled material and complies with U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements for direct contact with food.

How It's Made
The brand that is known and sold all over the world is manufactured in two locations -- Louisville, Kentucky and Richmond, Virginia. Aluminum for Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil is placed into alloying furnaces at the continuous cast plant in Hot Springs, Arkansas and heated until molten. It is then modified to the correct alloy chemistry and fed into a machine known as a "continuous caster." The continuous caster converts molten aluminum to a coil of metal by forcing it between large, water cooled chill rollers at several feet per minute. The aluminum is formed as a long sheet with a thickness of .045". It's rolled into large coils that measure 74 inches in diameter and weigh over 30,000 pounds! These coils are shipped in Reynolds' specially designed rail cars to Richmond and Louisville, where they are converted into the Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil we all know.
