Description
"The development of the “Tite ‘n Tidy” plastic food wrap dispenser took 6 months, balancing weight against strength for cutting. A hand-held dispenser was ultimately chosen over a wall mount. The ribbed tube handle provides an easy grip while the button above the cutter helps users centre wrap."
