Packing materials: plastic that can be cut to fit

Hello.

Is there anyone who knows where I can purchase plastic wrap similar to the plastic material used for zip locks? I’m wanting the plastic to be see-through, clean and smooth like zip locks are.

What I have found is on a roll and it is quite expensive, like over $400. I’m sure this one is used at manufacturing plants.

Thanks,

Sharon

Have you ever tried Uline? They have an enormous amount of shipping and postage supplies as well as bags and plastics. They may have what you’re looking for.

I may be way off in how I am interpreting what you seek (as you really dont state what size you are wanting) but Costco sells what would be commonly called as Saran Wrap under the Kirkland name in various lengths and I can attest that this brand clings like crazy, much better than any other brands I tried. It is 12 inches wide and this particular roll is 3000 feet (but you can get shorter rolls too). Unknown if they sell a WIDER roll than the 12 inches. Here is a link.

If not from Costco, there may be other restaurant supply houses in your area or you could try SamsClub. We also have a place called Gordon Food Service that sells different restaurant supply’s www.gfs.com (if there is one in your area) but I can attest the we like the Costco Kirkland brand of this the best.

Hi Atomic. You did not understand my post completely but that’s okay :) I checked the link out and it is a great deal….definitely something to consider.

Hi Sharon,

You might try this website, they may have what you are looking for?
www.uline.com

They have all kinds of shipping supplies, stretch wrap, boxes, poly bags, etc. You can also request to receive free catalogs in the mail, I get them in the mail every so often. Hope this helps :):)

It looks like the poly tube would work for what I need it for.

Bubblefast is a possibility

TY. Yes, uline has what I need but a little too expensive only because I do not need to keep that much quantity on hand. It gave me the idea though to go to a place like Home Depot and purchase painter’s plastic that they use to cover furniture when painting..only I’m gonna get the plastic that…
