Yes, stretch-tite can be used to freeze foods, but only for short-term freezing. Allow enough film to fold or overlap the ends, and make sure to wrap the item tightly, squeezing out any excess air before the ends are folded over and under the contents. Removing excess air reduces the development of freezer burn. We recommend freezing food for only up to two weeks when wrapped in plastic. For longer freezer storage, we suggest you use our freeze-tite^® clear high-cling freezer wrap and double wrap the contents.

stretch-tite is available throughout the United States in grocery stores, wholesale clubs, discount stores and other retail and online outlets, including Amazon. We do recommend calling your local store first to check. Please call or send us an email and we will locate the nearest store for you, or use the Product Finder at the top of this page.

When using stretch-tite, make sure that the wrap end remains outside the package and hangs over the cutting edge after use. That way, the end is ready for the next use. Once the roll is restarted, be sure some of the wrap remains outside the box until the next use. Make sure film is oriented to roll from rear of box.

Please make sure that you are threading the film through the roll bar properly before pressing down. This video shows you how to properly set up the Wrap’n Snap dispenser:

Yes, stretch-tite can be used in the microwave, but we recommend allowing at least 1″ between the wrap and the food. We also recommend that you turn back one corner of the plastic wrap to vent. Overheating foods with high fat or sugar content may melt the wrap. Do not use stretch-tite in the microwave for longer than 3 minutes.

stretch-tite comes in a 12” x 250’ (250 sq. ft.) size and a 12” x 500’ (500 sq. ft.) size. freeze-tite is available in 15” x 250’ (315 sq. ft.) size.

stretch-tite and freeze-tite should both be stored in a cool, dry place, such as in a drawer in your kitchen. We do not recommend keeping it right next to a stove.

stretch-tite cannot withstand temperatures higher than 122 degrees F or 50 degrees C. It is not designed for use in conventional ovens, browning units, toaster ovens, stovetops, or to contain boiling foods.

The gauge of stretch-tite is 40, which is 0.0101 mm or .40 mil.
