Heavy-Duty, Jumbo & Foodservice Foil Rolls — Wholesale, OEM & Private Label
SEPACK manufactures aluminum foil rolls across every grade and format — standard household, heavy-duty and extra-heavy-duty foodservice, and jumbo master rolls for converters. Rolled from food-grade foil for wrapping, lining, covering and cooking, and partnered with parchment paper lines, in standard and extra-wide widths and lengths from retail boxes to 1,000-foot foodservice rolls. Supplied wholesale and private-label, with custom width, gauge, length and printing.
| Grade | Typical Gauge | Best For | Common Width | Common Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ~10–16 micron | Wrapping, covering, lining | 12 in / 18 in | 25–200 ft |
| Heavy-duty | ~18–24 micron | Foodservice, grilling, catering | 18 in | 500 ft |
| Extra-heavy-duty | ~30 micron + | Roasting, broiling, steam tables | 18 in / 24 in | 500–1,000 ft |
| Jumbo / master roll | To spec | Converting & rewinding | To spec | Mill length |
Alloys 8011 / 1235 food-grade; silver standard, with gold, colored and printed finishes available. Width, gauge, length, core and packaging are cut to order. For pre-cut and pop-up sheets rather than rolls, see aluminum foil sheets.
Aluminum foil looks like a commodity until you have to buy it at volume, and then the spec matters. A roll that is right for a sandwich shop is wrong for a roasting line, and the gap between them is mostly gauge and width. This guide breaks down the grades, the formats, and the difference between buying finished rolls and buying jumbo stock to convert.
Gauge is the thickness of the foil, and it is the spec that defines the grade. Standard foil, around 10 to 16 micron, is the everyday household and light-commercial grade for wrapping and covering. Heavy-duty foil, roughly 18 to 24 micron, is the foodservice grade — it resists tearing and puncture under hot pans, grills and catering trays, which is why it dominates restaurant buying. Extra-heavy-duty foil, around 30 micron and up, is for roasting, broiling, tenting and lining heavy steam tables, where the foil has to hold shape under real heat and weight. Buy to the heaviest job the roll will do, not the average one.
Width is set by what the foil has to cover. Household and retail rolls are commonly 12 inches; foodservice standardizes on 18-inch wide rolls that cover a full pan or roast, with extra-wide rolls for the widest trays and sheet pans. Length scales with throughput: retail rolls run from 25 to a couple hundred feet, while foodservice rolls come in long 500 and 1,000-foot formats that cut roll changes on a busy line. The 18-inch by 500-foot and 18-inch by 1,000-foot rolls are the foodservice staples.
There are two ways to buy foil at scale. Finished rolls arrive boxed and ready to sell or use — retail boxes, foodservice cases. Jumbo or master rolls are large mill rolls of unconverted foil that a converter slits and rewinds into finished rolls under its own brand. A company running its own roll line buys jumbo stock to gauge and width and converts in-house; everyone else buys finished. We supply both, so a buyer can take jumbo rolls for converting or finished private-label rolls ready for shelf.
The same material spans three markets. Household foil wraps food, lines pans and covers dishes in the home. Foodservice foil does the same at volume in restaurants, caterers and ghost kitchens, in heavier gauges and longer rolls. Industrial and packaging foil goes into laminates, insulation and packaging lines. A foil program often needs all three, which is why sourcing rolls alongside foil containers and sheets from one supplier keeps the spec and the freight consolidated.
For a brand or distributor, the roll is a private-label opportunity. Finished rolls can carry a brand’s box, sizes and printing, so a retailer or foodservice supplier sells foil under its own name without running a mill. Pack formats cover retail boxes with cutter bars, foodservice cases and bulk. The run is built to the brand’s width, length, gauge and artwork, sampled and approved before bulk.
Aluminum foil is single-material and fully recyclable, and recycling it uses a small share of the energy of primary production, so clean used foil recycles with other aluminum. That makes foil a recyclable alternative to plastic wrap and film for operators under packaging rules. The foil is food-grade and meets FDA and EU food-contact requirements, so a roll clears North American, European and export markets for household, foodservice and industrial use.
