How do I cut PE food wraps cleanly?

Hey there! I'm a supplier of PE Food Wraps, and I know how frustrating it can be when you're trying to cut these wraps cleanly. In this blog, I'll share some tips and tricks that I've picked up over the years, so you can say goodbye to those jagged edges and uneven cuts.

First things first, let's talk about the tools you'll need. You don't need anything fancy, just a good pair of scissors or a sharp knife. Make sure your blades are sharp, as dull ones can make the cutting process a lot more difficult. A serrated knife can also be a great option, as it can grip the plastic wrap better and give you a cleaner cut.

When it comes to choosing the right PE Food Wrap for your needs, we've got a great selection to offer. Check out our Anti-fog PE Cling Flm, which is perfect for keeping your food fresh and preventing fogging. We also have PE Cling Wrap for everyday use and PE Film Wraps that come in various thicknesses and sizes.

Now, let's get into the actual cutting process. One of the most common mistakes people make is pulling the wrap out too quickly. When you do this, the wrap can bunch up or tear unevenly. Instead, take your time and slowly pull the wrap out at a steady pace. This will help keep the wrap flat and make it easier to cut.

Another tip is to use a flat surface. Place your food on a cutting board or a clean countertop, and then lay the PE Food Wrap over it. This gives you a stable base to work on and helps prevent the wrap from moving around while you're cutting. Press the wrap down gently along the edges of the food to create a sealed area. This will not only make it easier to cut but also keep your food fresh for longer.

If you're using scissors, open them wide and place the blade at the edge of the wrap, where you want to make the cut. Hold the wrap firmly with your other hand to prevent it from slipping. Then, slowly close the scissors, applying even pressure as you go. Make sure to keep the scissors perpendicular to the wrap for a straight cut.

For a knife, use a slicing motion rather than a sawing one. Place the knife at the edge of the wrap and gently glide it across, using a smooth, continuous motion. This is especially effective with a serrated knife, as the jagged edge can easily cut through the plastic. Just be careful not to press too hard, as this can cause the wrap to bunch up or cut at an angle.

If you're dealing with a large piece of wrap or need to make a long cut, it can be helpful to use a ruler or a straight edge as a guide. This ensures that your cut is straight and precise. Simply place the ruler along the edge where you want to cut and use it as a template for your scissors or knife.

Sometimes, the wrap can stick to the blade of your scissors or knife. To prevent this, you can lightly coat the blade with a little bit of cooking oil or non-stick spray. This will create a smooth surface that allows the wrap to glide over the blade without getting stuck. Just make sure to wipe off any excess oil before using the tool on your food.

Another issue you might encounter is the wrap sticking to itself when you're pulling it out. To fix this, lightly dampen your hands with water before handling the wrap. The moisture will reduce the static electricity that causes the wrap to stick, making it easier to separate and pull out.

Once you've cut the wrap, you can further seal it around your food. Gently press the edges of the wrap together, using your fingers or a flat utensil, to create a tight seal. This helps keep air and moisture out, which is essential for keeping your food fresh.

In addition to these cutting tips, it's important to store your PE Food Wraps properly. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the quality of the wrap and ensures that it stays easy to use. Avoid storing the wraps near heat sources, as this can cause the plastic to become brittle and more difficult to cut.

If you're using a roll of PE Food Wrap, make sure to keep the end of the roll flat and smooth. If it gets wrinkled or folded over, it can be difficult to start the next cut. You can use a piece of tape to hold the end of the roll in place if needed.
