Cling Film & Foil
Commercial cling film and aluminium foil are absolute essentials in any UK professional kitchen—from busy restaurants and hotels to bustling catering operations. These aren't your standard household rolls; we're talking heavy-duty, extra-wide wrapping solutions designed specifically for high-volume food service. With widths ranging from 300mm to 450mm and impressive lengths up to 300m per roll, these professional food wraps ensure you're not constantly changing rolls during service. After 50 years supplying kitchens across the country, we've seen how these products work alongside vacuum sealers and food storage containers to form the backbone of any efficient kitchen's food preservation system.

How Commercial Cling Film & Aluminium Foil Work
Commercial-grade food wraps do a brilliant job thanks to their superior design. Professional cling film contains food-safe plasticizers that create that perfect clingy tension, helping it stick firmly to containers without the frustrating fold-backs you get with cheaper versions. Meanwhile, catering aluminium foil is manufactured with thicker, more resilient aluminium that won't tear or puncture under pressure. Both come housed in sturdy dispenser boxes with built-in cutters that make portioning a doddle. The magic lies in the material thickness—typically 9-12 microns for cling film and 14-18 microns for foil—giving these products the strength to handle everything from wrapping massive prep trays to securing foods for proper chilling.

"Don’t underestimate cling film and foil – they’re the unsung heroes of food prep and storage. Go for commercial-grade rolls that fit your dispensers and won’t tear mid-wrap – your kitchen team will thank you during the rush!"
Safety Guidelines
- Heat Awareness Avoid using standard cling film in microwaves—opt for microwave-safe versions.
- Food Contact Ensure film doesn't touch fatty foods at high temperatures—prevents chemical leaching.
- Microwave Caution Never put aluminium foil in microwave ovens—serious fire risk.
- Cutter Safety Keep fingers away from the metal cutting edge—prevents nasty cuts.
- Cooling Period Allow hot food to cool before wrapping—prevents condensation issues.
- Storage Security Keep dispensers away from children—cutters are sharp.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Cling Film & Aluminium Foil
For best results with professional cling film, ensure food containers are dry before wrapping—moisture undermines adhesion. With aluminium foil, create a double layer for items that might pierce through a single sheet. Mount your dispensers at a comfortable height for quick access during service, and consider colour-coding (using different coloured dispensers) to help distinguish between film types. Store unopened boxes away from heat sources and sharp objects that could damage the material before use.
