Cons

Cons

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Difficult to pull out the cling wrap, easy to find the beginning but no sticky area outside the box to hold cling wrap for easy access.
  • Some strength required to dispense the cling wrap. Roll can easily be pulled out of the box while dispensing.
  • The serrated edge does not cut the cling wrap, the resistance when cutting can easily stretch the cling wrap or even tear it.
  • Can be awkward to dispense, some resistance and it's awkward to hold the box.
  • No instructions on how to open.
  • Packaging is flimsy and came apart.
  • Roll sits loosely and can easily be pulled out of the box.
