Glad Press’n Seal Plastic Food Wrap

Glad Press’n Seal Plastic Food Wrap 70 sq ft – the plastic wrap that actually listens

We need to talk about plastic wrap.

The regular kind has a strange knack for sticking to itself, your hands, and just about everything else—except for the very bowl you’re trying to cover.

And then there’s Glad Press’n Seal!!

This is one of those American kitchen products that looks pretty ordinary in the box—until you use it for the first time and realize: Ahaaa… that’s THE trick.

Press’n Seal is placed over the bowl, plate, food, or container and pressed down along the edges. The special Griptex texture activates when you press, helping the film create a tight seal against many different surfaces.

The result? Less of a wrestling match with plastic wrap. More “press—seal—done.”

Not quite plastic wrap as we know it

The name actually gives away the whole idea.

Press’n Seal.

You PRESS to SEAL.

The wrap can adhere to surfaces like plastic and wood—and even to itself. That means it’s not just for covering a bowl—you can also fold and press the wrap around food or create small, portion-sized packages in whatever size you need.

Has the lid to that lunchbox mysteriously disappeared?

Press’n Seal.

Half an avocado left?

Press’n Seal.

A plate of leftovers to put in the fridge?

Yep. Press’n Seal.

This is about where you start to understand why Americans created a product all their own based on this concept.

The fridge, the freezer, and all those lids that go missing

Glad Press’n Seal is designed for food storage and can be used, among other things, to:

✔ Cover bowls, plates, and containers
✔ Wrap food and leftovers
✔ Wrap smaller portions individually
✔ Protect food in the refrigerator
✔ Store food in the freezer
✔ Create your own small packages by letting the foil stick to itself
✔ Helps keep air out and freshness in

And there are more uses than you might think. Glad itself recommends Press’n Seal for everything from leftovers and fruit to food on the go—precisely because the film can be shaped and sealed around whatever you want to protect.

How to Use Glad Press’n Seal

Pull the desired amount off the roll and tear off the film.

Place it over the food or container with the textured side facing down. Pull the wrap over the edge and press down with your fingers along the surface until it’s sealed securely.

It’s the pressure itself that does the job.

When you want to open it, simply peel the film back off.

For use in the microwave, freezer, and other special situations, always follow the instructions on the original packaging.

BPA? PVC? No, thank you.

Glad states that its food storage products do not use BPA as a raw material and do not contain intentionally added phthalates.

Press’n Seal is also made without PVC. Glad uses polyethylene in its plastic products and states that the materials in Press’n Seal are approved for food contact in accordance with U.S. FDA regulations.

It might seem like a minor detail when you’re standing there with yesterday’s lasagna—but for a product designed for direct contact with food, it’s a pretty important detail.

A small American kitchen revolution from 2003

The fun thing about Press’n Seal is that it was actually created to solve the very problem people had with regular plastic wrap.

In 2003, Glad Press’n Seal was introduced in the U.S. as a new type of food wrap. Instead of just trying to “cling,” it could be pressed against the surface to form a secure seal.

The launch was a collaboration between Glad, The Clorox Company, and Procter & Gamble—and the product was introduced at the time as the world’s first sealing wrap.

It could adhere to materials such as plastic, paper, and wood, and it also paved the way for something quite ingenious: since the wrap adhered to itself, users could create their own small bags and packages.

American everyday innovation in a nutshell.

Someone looked at plastic wrap and thought:

“Surely we can make this less annoying.”

And that’s exactly what they did.

Glad – “Don’t Get Mad. Get Glad.”

Glad is a classic American brand in food storage and household products, known for items such as storage bags, freezer bags, plastic wrap, containers, and trash bags.

The brand became part of The Clorox Company’s product portfolio in 1999, and the well-known yellow Glad design has continued to appear in American kitchens ever since.

And their classic slogan fits Press’n Seal almost ridiculously well:

Don’t Get Mad. Get Glad.

Especially after you’ve tried for the fifth time to get regular plastic wrap to stay on a bowl.
