Wholesale Aluminium Foil for UK Trade Buyers

Catering, foodservice and kitchen grades all in stock

The aluminium foil range covers the working gauges that foodservice rotates fastest — heavy-duty catering rolls in 300mm and 450mm widths, extra-wide foodservice rolls up to 600mm for industrial trays and pallet wrapping, and standard kitchen-gauge foil in 5m and 75m formats for everyday food prep. Pallet quantities are held in the Newcastle warehouse on rotation for the SKUs that move fastest, with inventory visible on every product page so trade buyers can size orders against live stock.

Aluminium foil certified for direct food contact

Every aluminium foil specification in the range is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004, with the Purewrap own-label additionally BRCGS-certified for trade buyers filing certification against HACCP audits. Heavy-duty catering gauges hold up to hot service, oven-baking and grill use; standard kitchen-grade foil is rated for cold storage, wrap-and-freeze applications and short-hold hot service. Certification documents accompany trade-account orders or can be supplied on request for supplier-audit files.

Westbids does not operate minimum order quantities on aluminium foil — a single case ships at the same trade pricing as a pallet quantity, with no surcharge or set-up fee. Bulk orders earn tiered discounts on pallet quantities. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide next-day delivery is available at checkout at standard courier rates. Trade accounts unlock volume pricing automatically at checkout; pricing tiers apply across every order without re-quoting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum order?

There is no minimum order on the aluminium foil range — buy a single case or order by the pallet. The same trade pricing applies in either case, with no small-order surcharge. Volume tiers add discount on pallet quantities; full pricing breakpoints are visible after registering a trade account.

Is the aluminium foil range food-contact certified?

Yes — every aluminium foil specification complies with UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004 for food-contact materials. The Purewrap own-label additionally carries BRCGS certification, and documents can be supplied on request for HACCP files and supplier-audit due diligence.

Which aluminium foil gauge is right for catering use?

Catering-grade aluminium foil (typically 12–18 micron) handles wrapping, tray lining, hot service and oven use; extra-wide foodservice rolls (300–600mm) suit pallet wrapping and industrial trays. Kitchen-grade foil is thinner and rated for cold storage and short-hold wrapping. Gauge and pack sizes are listed on each product page.

Is tin foil the same as aluminium foil?

Yes — "tin foil" is the everyday UK term for aluminium foil. Original tin foil (pure tin) hasn't been used in foodservice since the 1940s; modern "tin foil" is always aluminium. The terminology persists because consumers and trade buyers use the names interchangeably. Westbids product pages use "aluminium foil" for accuracy but the products fit any specification calling for "tin foil."

What's the 15μm catering-foil threshold and which width should I spec?

15 microns (μm) is the standard catering-foil threshold — anything ≥15μm is rated for hot service, oven use and tray-lining; anything thinner is kitchen-grade and limited to cold wrap and short-hold reheating. Westbids catering rolls are typically 18μm for trade-kitchen durability. On widths: 300mm covers standard tray foil and burger-wrap; 450mm covers larger trays and pallet wrap; 600mm is the foodservice extra-wide size for industrial trays and bulk wrapping. Match width to the largest single item you wrap routinely.

How fast does aluminium foil ship?

Orders placed before 1pm dispatch the same working day from Newcastle. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide orders ship on a paid next-day courier service charged at checkout.
