Bad points

Bad Points

  • Borderline result for sealing of plastic, slight weakness of sticking in areas, unable to stick completely.
  • No instructions on how to open packaging.
  • May be difficult to reuse as the cling film binds together.
  • OK to pull out cling wrap, can be a little awkward to access the beginning of the cling wrap inside the box.
  • The serrated edge is positioned on the top of the box, can easily scratch your hand across the serrated.
  • Cling wrap hangs over serrated edge, the box is placed on the bench to dispense, some effort required to pull out the cling wrap which then lifts the box off the bench.
