Cray Wrap

10yrs ago i scored a heap of celophane-like, pierce resistent plastic wrap from one of the cray processors. Amazing stuff - wrap em tight, like how they wrap your fish and chips, snap a lacky around it and youre done. No spikes and pack beautifully in the freezer. Was good while it lasted but finally ran out.

Ive done the cursory run around / phone calls to the processors but its pretty much all live export these days (vs. All the wrapped tails of yesteryear) and nobody knows the stuff im talking about.

Does anyone know what it was called? Bloody marvellous invention it was too.

 Try pallet wrap. 6 times thicker than clad wrap. Holds( clings ) together fantastic. I always use scotch paper under cray. Soaks all crap up( black blood ect ). Very easy and quick . Get it black or clear

Finally found it.  Its called bopp film (polyprop).

1500 sheets (500mm x 500mm) should last you around 10yrs.  

Best fifty bung you'll ever spend and dont forget to buy a box of rubber bands.
