OAKLAND, Calif., August 1, 2003 — When it comes to plastic
wrap, you've wrestled with it. You've avoided it. Let's face it
— you've had a love-hate relationship with it.
Now, Glad® Press 'n Seal™ sealable wrap provides a whole
new way to navigate through the food world. It's a major breakthrough
in food storage — a plastic wrap that actually seals on contact.
New Press 'n Seal wrap from Glad creates a spill-proof seal that
does what no wrap could ever do before-seal securely to plastic,
paper, wood or even a Styrofoam® cup without the ordeal —
and waste — of double or triple wrapping. With Glad Press 'n
Seal sealable wrap all you need is enough wrap for the top of any
container — press — and you're done!
"You have to seal it to believe it," said Mark Frick,
Glad brand manager. "Not only does Glad Press 'n Seal wrap
eliminate the biggest gripes about wrap, we're actually hearing
'Wow, this stuff is really cool', because Glad Press 'n Seal wrap
doesn't just cling like ordinary wraps, it actually seals."
Glad Press 'n Seal sealable wrap makes it simple to create a spill-proof
seal as easy as 1) Pulling the wrap from the roll, 2) Placing it
over the desired place; and 3) Pushing down on the wrap. Glad Press
'n Seal wrap's activated gripping texture seals tight to almost
any desired surface.
- Travel Partner. Worried about transporting oozing lasagna
to a potluck? Glad Press 'n Seal wrap's spill-proof seal saves
the day.
- Size Matters. Need to find the right-size bag for odd-size
foods? Create a custom bag with Glad Press 'n Seal sealable wrap.
- Lost Lid? Glad Press 'n Seal wrap seals tight by sealing
directly to the plastic of a container. You can say bon voyage
to double-wrapping, too. With Glad Press 'n Seal sealable wrap,
a little goes a long way.
- Get Fresh. Fed up with loose fitting bags and wraps that
spoil leftovers or produce too soon? Glad Press 'n Seal wrap helps
keep flavors in and foods fresh.
"When we first received a box of Glad Press 'n Seal wrap,
we didn't believe all the uses it has in the kitchen. So, we each
put it to the test," said Katherine Fausset, member of The
Cooking Club and co-author of the soon-to-be released The Cooking
Club Party Cookbook. "I sealed a big bowl of tortilla soup
and carried it on the subway to our Mexican fiesta. It really worked!
I didn't spill a single drop!"
Is there any place this wrap won't go? At home in the freezer,
microwave and refrigerator, Glad Press 'n Seal sealable wrap locks
in freshness while it braves the elements. Leftovers can be packaged,
frozen and microwaved in the same Glad Press 'n Seal wrap.
While ordinary wraps cling, Glad Press 'n Seal wrap seals.
"Glad Press 'n Seal wrap seals better than any plastic wrap,"
notes Professor Joseph H. Hotchkiss, Ph.D. Cornell University, one
of the country's leading food scientists.
