Aluminium foil ntim tau pib thaum xyoo pua 20th. Lub sijhawm ntawd, aluminium ntawv ci yog cov khoom ntim khoom kim heev thiab tsuas yog siv rau kev ntim khoom siab. Xyoo 1911, Lub Tuam Txhab Swiss Confectionery tau pib siv cov ntawv txhuas los ntim cov qhob noom xim kasfes, uas maj mam hloov tin foil thiab tau nrov. Xyoo 1913, raws li kev ua tiav ntawm aluminium smelting, Tebchaws Asmeskas kuj tau pib tsim cov ntawv txhuas, uas yog siv rau cov khoom siv high-end, cov khoom siv cawm siav thiab cov pos hniav ntim khoom. Xyoo 1921, Tebchaws Asmeskas tau ua tiav kev tsim cov ntawv txhuas txhuas ntawv, uas yog siv los ua cov rooj tog zoo nkauj thiab cov khoom ntim siab kawg. Nyob rau hauv 1938, lub tshav kub-sealable aluminium ntawv ci tau qhia. Thaum Ntiaj Teb Tsov Rog II, aluminium ntawv ci tau tsim sai heev raws li cov khoom ntim tub rog. Tsim aluminium foil ntim tau pib siv los ntim khoom noj hauv xyoo 1948. Nyob rau xyoo 1950, cov ntawv txhuas ntawv thiab cov ntaub ntawv txhuas-yas sib xyaw pib tsim. Los ntawm xyoo 1970, nrog rau kev loj hlob ntawm cov xim luam ntawv thev naus laus zis, aluminium foil thiab aluminium-yas composite ntim tau nkag mus rau lub sijhawm muaj koob meej sai.
Nkag mus rau lub xyoo pua 21st, qhov kev sib tw ntawm kev lag luam kev sib tw thiab cov khoom sib xws tau txhawb nqa txoj kev loj hlob sai ntawm cov khoom ntim. Xyoo 2002, qhov loj ntawm lub lag luam ntim thoob ntiaj teb tau tshaj US $ 500 billion. Txoj kev loj hlob ntawm aluminium foil ntim yog qhov tseem ceeb hauv kev sib txuas nrog kev txhim kho ntawm tag nrho cov kev lag luam. Hauv kev ua lag luam hauv Suav teb, aluminium foil ntim tau tsim sai dua. Muaj ob lub laj thawj tseem ceeb: Ua ntej, txoj kev loj hlob ntawm Tuam Tshoj txoj kev lag luam ntim khoom lag luam hloov pauv txawv txawv ntawm cov teb chaws tsim. Qhov kev faib ua feem ntawm cov ntim tau yooj yim rau cov neeg siv khoom siv niaj hnub thiab cov khoom noj me me, cov tebchaws tsim tau suav nrog ntau dua 65%, thiab qee qhov tau tshaj 70%, thaum Tuam Tshoj suav txog li 15%, thiab qhov kev faib ua feem tau nce sai hauv ob xyoos dhau los; Thib ob, cov khoom siv hluav taws xob hauv tsev aluminium-yas composite thiab aluminium-paper composite technologies txuas ntxiv kom paub tab, thiab cov nqi tsim khoom raug txo. Txhawb nqa qhov nrov thiab siv cov khoom siv aluminium-raws li cov khoom siv hauv Suav teb ntim khoom lag luam.
