Cling film & dispensers

Food Wrap for the Food Service Industry, Commercial Kitchens, and the Food Retail Sector

Food wrap is used in professional kitchens and food service establishments to cover, wrap, and safely store suitable foods. Depending on the material, the wraps differ in terms of adhesion, elasticity, temperature range, and the applications intended for food contact.

In this category, you’ll find food wrap made from PE and PVC, wrap for Wrapmaster systems, aluminum foil, as well as matching dispensers and roll holders. This allows you to tailor the type of wrap specifically to your operational needs.

PE Food Wrap for Various Foods

PE food wrap is made of polyethylene and is used for various applications in the food industry. Depending on the product, it can be used to cover trays, containers, or prepared foods.

For individual PE food wrap products, suitability for food contact is explicitly documented. Please refer to the respective product page for information on which food types, temperatures, and contact times are permitted.

You can find suitable options directly in our selection of PE food wrap.

PVC Food Wrap with Good Adhesion

PVC food wrap is characterized by its good adhesion and stretchability. This allows it to fit snugly around containers and food items, making it suitable for various applications in the restaurant industry, butcher shops, and commercial kitchens.

However, with PVC wrap, special attention must be paid to the specific food contact conditions. Depending on the product, there may be restrictions for certain foods. Our PVC food wrap is intended for specific food applications; you’ll find the exact details for each variant.

Food wrap in various widths and roll lengths

The film width best suited for your business depends on the containers, trays, and workflows you use. Narrower rolls may be useful for smaller containers, while wider films can cover larger trays or work areas.

Roll length also plays an important role in professional use. Restaurants, cafeterias, and catering businesses with high consumption can benefit from longer rolls, as they need to be replaced less frequently.

Plastic Wrap in a Dispenser Box

For workstations where cling film needs to be quickly accessible, cling film is available in a dispenser box. The built-in dispenser ensures controlled unrolling and cutting of the required amount of film.

This design is particularly suitable for smaller kitchen workstations, prep counters, and areas with regular but manageable film usage.

Wrapmaster Films and Matching Dispenser Systems

For businesses with high cling film consumption, Wrapmaster systems can be a practical solution. The cling film rolls designed for this purpose are combined with a compatible dispenser, enabling controlled unwinding and cutting.

In addition to PE food wrap for Wrapmaster and PVC food wrap for Wrapmaster, you’ll also find compatible Wrapmaster dispensers.

Aluminum Foil for the Food Service Industry and Kitchens

In addition to food wrap, this category features various aluminum foils. Depending on the product, they can be used to cover, wrap, cook, or grill suitable foods.

When using aluminum foil, you should also consider the temperature, type of food, and intended application. Therefore, please refer to the respective product information and usage instructions.

Films and Dispensers for Butcher Shops

In butcher shops, plastic wrap is used, for example, to cover prepared products, trays, and containers. The choice of wrap should be based on the specific food item and the intended storage conditions.

You can find additional supplies for sales counters and food processing under “Butcher Shop Supplies.”

For Restaurants, Cafeterias, and Catering

Restaurants, cafeterias, commercial kitchens, and catering businesses often need plastic wrap for prepared ingredients, mise en place, temporary storage, and covering containers. Depending on usage, rolls, dispenser boxes, or professional dispenser systems may be the best choice.

You can find additional products for professional kitchens and the foodservice industry under “Foodservice Supplies & Packaging” as well as in the “Catering Supplies” section.

Choosing between plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or cellophane

The appropriate material depends on the intended application. PE and PVC films offer different properties in terms of adhesion and range of use. Aluminum foil is suitable for other temperature ranges and applications, while cellophane is used specifically for transparent packaging and presentation applications.

For additional packaging papers and films, you’ll find complementary products under “Papers & Films.”
