Foodservice Cling Wrap & Plastic Wrap Rolls — Wholesale, OEM & Private Label
SEPACK supplies food service film — the foodservice cling wrap that covers pans, wraps trays and seals prep across restaurants, caterers and commissaries. Built for the cutter box: it clings tight, cuts clean on the slide bar, and pulls without bunching across long 3,000-foot rolls. PVC for maximum cling or PE for recyclability, in 12-inch and 18-inch foodservice widths. Wholesale and private-label, alongside our foil and paper wrap lines.

Cling film is the most-used and least-thought-about product in a prep kitchen — until the wrong one shows up and nobody can cover a pan without a fight. Foodservice film is a different animal from the retail roll in a home drawer: heavier, longer, and built around a cutter box. This guide covers how it differs, how to size it, and the PVC-versus-PE choice that decides cling and recyclability.
Retail cling wrap is a short roll in a cardboard box with a flimsy serrated edge, fine for the occasional leftover. Foodservice film is built for a station that covers dozens of pans a shift: longer rolls, a tougher film, and a slide-bar cutter box that cuts in one motion. The difference shows up in speed and waste — a proper foodservice film and box cover a pan in seconds, where a retail roll bunches, tears and slows the line.
Two widths cover most of a prep kitchen. Twelve-inch film handles half pans, tubs and small trays; eighteen-inch covers full pans, sheet trays and big batches. Length is about throughput — foodservice rolls commonly run to 3,000 feet so a busy line goes a long time between changes. A kitchen that covers constantly wants the longer roll and both widths; a lighter operation can run one width. The 18-inch by 3,000-foot roll is the foodservice staple.
The film material is the real decision. PVC film clings hardest and is the foodservice default — it seals tight to metal, plastic and glass and holds through the cooler. PE film clings a little less, but it recycles more easily, carries no chlorine, and suits operations cutting plastic impact or meeting greener packaging targets. There is no single right answer: a high-volume cover-everything kitchen often wants PVC cling, while a brand marketing on sustainability leans PE. Supplying both means the kitchen is not forced to choose performance or footprint blind.
A foodservice film is only as good as its cut. The slide-bar box is designed so a cook pulls the film across a blade in one motion for a clean, straight edge — but that only works if the film scores and releases instead of stretching. Film matched to the box cuts every time without jagged edges or a roll that spins free. Box size and film width have to match, which is why the film and box are specified together.
Film does one job: cover and seal for cold storage and transport. It does not handle heat — that is what foil is for — and it is not a wrap-and-serve paper, which is what sandwich wrap covers. A prep kitchen needs all three, so sourcing film alongside foil rolls, foil sheets and wrap paper from one supplier keeps the wrap station on one program, one set of sizes and one shipment.
For a distributor or brand, film is a private-label staple. The cutter box carries the brand, sizes and print, so a foodservice supplier sells film under its own name in the counts a kitchen burns through. Runs go as white-box, retail-printed or foodservice cases, built to the brand’s width, length, film type and artwork and sampled before bulk — and they ship in the same container as the rest of the wrap program.
