It is lightweight, unlike other metals; it does not rust, unlike steel; it is flexible, unlike glass or wood; it can be rolled very thin, unlike other options, it is waterproof and can hold liquids, unlike leather, paper and wood; it melts at a very low temperature, unlike other metals; it can be formed by extrusion, or just pushing it into shape, unlike other metals that have to be heated melted poured and cooled, it is generally close to the surface of the earth and no deep dangerous mines are needed to find raw aluminium, and perhaps most importantly, aluminium is inexpensive, as in raw form, bauxite, is about one of the most common elements on the surface of the earth.
