Films & Rolls

Films and rolls are the consumables that pass through hands most often in kitchens and production areas. This subcategory contains five items: two cling films and three aluminium foils. Cling film comes as a self-clinging PVC industrial roll at 45 cm × 300 m, or as PE film in a dispenser box at 30 cm × 300 m. For aluminium foil you can choose between a 45 cm × 150 m industrial roll, a 30 cm × 100 m dispenser box (both 11 µm) and a reinforced 18 µm foil on a 45 cm × 50 m roll.

These rolls are bought by contract kitchens, staff canteens, caterers, butchers and food businesses that need to cover, wrap, keep fresh or hold food hot. All five items are labelled food-safe.

Typical applications

• Covering gastronorm containers, bowls and trays before chilling
• Wrapping portions, dough pieces and cheese for interim storage
• Covering dishes at the hot-holding station and the pass
• Wrapping meat, fish and vegetables for the grill and the smoker

What to look for when buying

The key question is where the roll will live. At a fixed workstation with occasional use, the 30 cm dispenser box with its cutting edge is the practical choice, as it needs no separate dispenser. Where large trays and containers are covered every few minutes, the 45 cm industrial roll offers a sheet 15 cm wider. For aluminium foil, the industrial roll also carries more length: 150 m against 100 m in the dispenser box.

The cling films also differ in material: the PVC industrial roll is specified as self-clinging, while the dispenser box holds PE film. For aluminium foil, gauge decides. 11 µm is sufficient for covering and wrapping; the 18 µm foil is intended for grilling, smoking and longer hot holding. The minimum order is 6 rolls, or 12 for the foil dispenser box.
