Catering Cling Film 30cm
This non-PVC PE catering film combines a 30cm working width with self-dispensing cutter-box packaging. It provides a practical covering for suitable dishes and foods during refrigerated or ambient storage.
Non-PVC covering for everyday dishes
This 30cm catering film is listed as PE polythene without PVC. Its narrower working width makes it useful for everyday bowls, plates and smaller dishes where a broad covering sheet is unnecessary. Suitable refrigerated and ambient wrapping are among the stated applications.
The flexible format accommodates changes between container shapes and sizes. It is a practical option for preparation teams handling small portions, ingredients and dishes at different stages of service. Food-contact and storage permissions remain specific to the supplied packaging.
Self-dispensing cutter-box format
The box keeps the remaining film together and provides an integral cutter at the preparation point. This arrangement supports everyday use without requiring a separate dispensing unit, making it convenient for kitchens with a simple wrapping station.
For broader containers, compare the 45cm catering cling film. The existing 30cm aluminium catering foil provides another wrapping material for its own stated applications.

Directions for Use
- Read the supplied packaging to confirm which foods and storage conditions are suitable. Cling-film suitability can vary with the food, particularly where it directly contacts high-fat ingredients. Use a clean container and follow your kitchen's normal food-handling procedure.
- Stand the cutter box on a clean, stable surface. Draw out sufficient film to cover the container and reach its edges, then cut carefully using the integral cutter. Keep fingers clear of the blade and avoid contaminating the unused roll.
- Fit the film around the bowl or dish without tearing it, and check the covering before moving the container. Store the food under the conditions it requires, following your usual labelling and temperature-control procedures. Wrapping does not replace refrigeration or extend a food's safe storage period.
- Do not use cling film in an oven or on pans on a hob where it could melt into food. Only use it in a microwave if the supplied packaging permits that use, and keep it from touching the food. Contain the cutter as directed after dispensing and store the remaining roll clean and dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which width is this cling film?
It is 30cm wide, equivalent to 300mm. This suits smaller dishes and everyday containers; broader equipment may need the linked 45cm option.
Does the film contain PVC?
This product is listed as PE polythene film without PVC. Read the supplied packaging for its food-contact and use instructions, as the material description alone does not establish suitability for every food or heating method.
Is a separate dispenser needed?
No. The film is supplied in a self-dispensing cutter box with an integral blade. Use the cutter as directed, keep fingers clear and contain it safely between tasks according to the box instructions.
Can it touch every type of food?
Check the packaging before direct food contact, particularly with high-fat foods. Food Standards Scotland advises that not every cling film is suitable for every food. Use another appropriate covering where the pack excludes the intended application.
Can I use it for heating food?
Do not use it in an oven or on a hob where it could melt into food. Microwave use must be specifically permitted by the supplied packaging, and the film should not touch the food. Follow the pack and appliance instructions for the method you intend to use.
Does wrapping change how food should be stored?
No. Continue to follow the food's storage instructions and your kitchen's labelling, refrigeration and temperature-control procedures. Cling film provides a covering; it does not establish a new shelf life or make unsuitable storage conditions acceptable.
