GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap is a whole new, versatile food storage wrap that combines many benefits of today's wraps, foils, and food storage bags and containers. It goes where no wrap has ever been. While other wraps cling, GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap actually seals to surfaces including plastic, paper, wood, metal, Styrofoam® containers and glass. It's the first sealable plastic wrap.

Freezer burn occurs when food loses its moisture to surrounding air. When air reaches the surface of food, it dries it out. GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap help seal out cold freezer air to protect against freezer burn.

It uses Griptex®, a proprietary gripping technology. Think of the textured surface of GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap as having thousands of tiny hills and valleys. Only when you apply pressure do the valleys seal to the desired location.

The sealing actually works with the help of the primary ingredients typically found in chewing gum — an old idea now applied to wrap! These ingredients have been approved by the FDA for over thirty-five years and are frequently used for labels found on fruits and vegetables. Griptex® technology allows GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap to seal to plastic, paper, Styrofoam® containers, metal, wood and many other surfaces.

GLAD Press'n Seal Freezer® wrap is a new way of storing foods in the freezer that helps seal in freshness and seal out freezer air. GLAD Press'n Seal Freezer® wrap helps prevent freezer burn by sealing air out. It can be customized to fit the food item you are trying to store, making it easier to store food in your freezer and remove air from around your food. GLAD Press'n Seal Freezer® wrap seals and stays sealed to help protect your food in the freezer.

GLAD Press'n Seal Freezer® wrap is 40% thicker than regular Press'n Seal® wrap. In addition, the wrap has a light blue color and has graphics on the wrap to make it easy to label foods before storage. Different than aluminum foil, you can see through Press'n Seal Freezer® wrap, making it easier to see exactly what food you are removing from the freezer.

GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap is available in the Food Storage aisle nationally at mass merchandisers (such as Target, Wal-mart, and Kmart), local grocers, and drug and club stores. Available in Canada at Wal-Mart, Zellers, Canadian Tire and all leading grocery stores.

GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap is available only in the United States and Canada.

At this time, GLAD Press'n Seal® sealable wrap is only available as a consumer product.

Like other plastic wraps, GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap is not recyclable.

In general, plastic wraps are not recyclable. However, because you don't have to use as much GLAD Press'n Seal® wrap to create a seal, you should create less garbage.

The sealing actually works with the help of the primary ingredients typically found in chewing gum — an old idea now applied to wrap! These ingredients have been approved by the FDA for over thirty-five years and are frequently used for labels found on fruits and vegetables. According to the FDA, small amounts of such ingredients in food do not pose any health risk.

The concern over heating plastics and migration stems from the use of chemical additives (known as plasticizers) in plastics made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). GLAD does not use any PVC plastics in its products. GLAD wraps are safe to use in the microwave.

NO. Glad food containers, wraps, and storage bags and other food contact products are not made of Polycarbonate nor is Bisphenol A (BPA) used as a raw material in their production. For more information, you can read our official statement here.

GLAD Cling Wrap is nationally available at grocery stores and mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart, KMart and Target.

GLAD Cling Wrap is made of 100% crystal clear polyethylene.

GLAD Cling Wrap contains no plasticizers. It consists of a high molecular weight polyethylene resin; it does not contain any substance that could be related to estrogens or estrogen mimics. The only additives are proprietary cling agents used at low concentrations which are FDA compliant.

No, GLAD Cling Wrap, like all plastic wraps, is not suitable to use in conventional ovens.

GLAD Cling Wrap has been tested extensively for microwave cooking by our technical staff. We have found that the product is an excellent moisture barrier when used as a cover for casseroles. It also promotes uniform cooking and prevents splattering.

As a result of its molecular structure, however, GLAD Cling Wrap has a tendency to tighten during the cooking process. This can cause the wrap to split. To reduce the chance of such occurrences we recommend that consumers vent the cover at a corner or side of the dish. This will allow a small amount of steam to escape.

GLAD Cling Wrap is not heated by microwave energy, but it will become heated by contact with extremely hot foods. Normally, foods in a microwave oven do not become hot enough to bring the wrap to its melting point. However, certain foods with high fat content (such as butter or bacon) or with high sugar content can become very hot in a microwave oven and should not come in contact with our wrap. If you wish to use our wrap when heating such foods, we recommend that at least an inch of air space be left between the food and the wrap covering the dish.

GLAD Cling Wrap is .5 mils thick.

Yes. To maximize food freshness, we recommend wrapping meats, chicken and fish tightly with GLAD Cling Wrap to create a barrier against air that causes freezer burn. To ensure a long food freshness, we recommend placing wrapped meats in our GLAD Double Lock™ Zipper Food Storage or Zipper Freezer Bags.
