Has anybody tried using this with the Costco enormous-sized Stretch-Tite plastic wrap with built-in sliding cutter? Does the box fit in this item?

I know the box of which you are speaking....it will not fit either length or width wise.

Hi Laiketa. I'm sorry you are having difficulty with the Wraptastic. After checking reviews, I chose to order a set called Wrap Master (directly from their website. I have had that set (one for plastic wrap, one for foil) for a number of years with absolutely no problems. I have also ordered 2 other sets as gifts. If, for some reason, you can't get your replacement parts, you may want to consider this other product.

No, it does not have a slide cutter but it has a cutter that when you pull the wrap out and down it cuts it to the length you want. I like that and it is really a good cutter throughout the life of one of these large boxes of plastic wrap.

My guess is that Velcro's One-Wrap Rolls, heavy duty and 3/4" wide and you can cut it to the length you need, may work for you.

Oh, I dont know! I've never found a roll of plastic wrap small enough to fit in the core!

The plastic wrap I use is 12" wide, so foil should work fine. Just drop the loose roll into the dispenser. What a great idea!

I've am not familiar with the shrink wrap process, but have you tried using a regular gallon storage zipper (Ziploc-type) bag for this purpose before? This will answer your question as the bags are same except they are not as wide, about an inch & a half smaller in width, but are about an inch longer than the normal gallon storage variety sold at neighborhood stores.

No, I just cut a piece of cardboard 12 x 12 - it will not fit, unless there is shoving involved. That would defeat the whole purpose. Update: I just tried it lengthwise (or legal size way) and the Cardstock would fit fine in the tub but then you couldn't put the lid on it without doing damage to your Cardstock. So, this alternative would work, but only without the lid attached. Thanks.

I use a small cardboard box that I got free at Costco...I think that those little tangerines came in it...It fits perfectly underneath the seat and I can really load it up with stuff when I am shopping and slide it out to put up on the check out counter. A really usable and economical solution.

I got Reynolds Wrap foil to work. The Reynolds Wrap is longer than what comes with the machine but it will work. You have to rotate the ends to get them into the cardboard tube. Then place it in the machine making sure the side prongs catch the roll - keeping it from coming out when you pull on the wrap. The machine does not work as well as the demonstration for sure but I is helpful if you are wrapping a number of items. For one I wouldn't bother. I haven't tried the plastic wrap replacement yet but I will let you know when I do.

I wish this had been asked before I had used so much. I cannot say for sure if it will fit a nine inch roll holder but that is close. I can say that I am glad that I bought this as it is very good for packaging. I simply stand mine on end and cut it easily ro length with a sharp kitchen knife or razor knife. You could also lay it on a table and pull the desired length off and then cut it as described.

It doesn't have the traditional cutter bar, but it does have a plastic track that the cutter slides across cutting the wrap. I always hated the store brand wraps because the wrap wouldn't stick or would wad up after ripping a sheet off. This is great! I place the box in front of whatever I need to wrap, pull the wrap over what you need to cover, then slide the cutter across the track. I will never go back to any other wrap!

Yes, you just press down and the plastic is cut! And because you can pull it over your dish and "pre-stick" it to the dish before you cut, there is little hassle with the plastic wrap wrinkling and getting stuck to itself. There is a little cut out in the middle of the dispenser where you can grab the plastic for the next piece. And stretch tite wrap is the way to go, much better quality than any other wrap I have used.

Yes, it does fit Costco sized rolls. Btw, really liked this holder - perfect size & color!

I bought mine specifically for plastic wrap because the store boxes are a pain. Well, I found out this was even more of a pain. Fumbling around trying to re-grab the leading edge is worse than the boxes because of that plastic bar. I threw mine away and went back to the boxes.

Our rolls are very big, Costco brand, and work great. I would think any size would fit.

It's similar to bubble wrap. I don't see any reason why, with a good sharp pair of scissors, you couldn't trim it to size. My pool is 10' though so I've not done it.
