clingfilm

Plastic wrap

Plastic wrap, cling film, cling wrap or food wrap, is a thin plastic film typically used for sealing food items in containers to keep them fresh over a longer period of time.

Common plastic wrap is roughly 0.5 mils, or 12.5 µm, thick. In Australia and New Zealand the genericized trademark glad wrap is commonly used, while Saran wrap has become genericized in North America.
