What is the CHOICE Expert Rating

CHOICE Expert rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Good points

• Very good sealing performance score.
• Sticker tab to locate beginning of the cling wrap.
• No serrated edge, cling wrap has a perforated line every 30 cm. The perforated line is fairly easy to pull apart.
• Although not home compostable, cling wrap can be placed in local council green waste collection for composting if your council accepts compostable plastics.
• Easily reseals to glass and ceramic only.
• No melting of cling wrap when reheating a high fat food.

Bad points

• Poor result for ease of use.
• Borderline result for sealing of plastic, slight weakness of sticking in areas, unable to stick completely, starts to lose its stickiness when resealing.
• No instructions on how to open.
• Side flaps to push in and hold the roll in place within the box unable to press in as the side piece of cardboard blocks it.
• Roll sits loosely and can easily be pulled out of the box.
• Only OK to pull out the cling wrap, difficult to find the beginning as the cling wrap is very thin, no sticky area to hold the cling wrap for easy access.
• Can easily split, difficult to find the beginning.
• Very light weight can cling to itself.
• Packaging is flimsy and came apart.
• Dispensing a larger piece of the cling film can be a little awkward, you need to hold it close to the perforated area to get a clean cut. The cling wrap can fold on itself and stick together.
• May be difficult to reuse as the cling film binds together.
