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.
• The roll is stable within the box.
• Smooth cutting action no pulling or tearing.
• Packaging is fairly strong.
• Safety instructions on the packaging.
• The box and tube are recycable.
• No melting of cling wrap when reheating a high fat food, but if the cling wrap touches the food it will melt.
• Easily reseals to glass and ceramic only.
• Woolworths essential brand cling wrap is recyclable through the REDcycle program in Australia. Visit redcycle.net.au for drop off points.

Bad points

• Borderline result for sealing of plastic, slight weakness of sticking in areas, unable to stick completely.
• No instructions on how to open packaging.
• May be difficult to reuse as the cling film binds together.
• OK to pull out cling wrap, can be a little awkward to access the beginning of the cling wrap inside the box.
• The serrated edge is positioned on the top of the box, can easily scratch your hand across the serrated.
• Cling wrap hangs over serrated edge, the box is placed on the bench to dispense, some effort required to pull out the cling wrap which then lifts the box off the bench.
