In 1994, the Allen Reed Company invented the first-ever safe metal cutting blade for commercial plastic wrap boxes. Each year, the Company sells more than 10 million these patented cutting blades to the largest plastic wrap manufacturers in the US. In addition to the Company's patented metal cutting blade business, the Allen Reed Company also invented and won patents in the US, Canada and Australia for the ZipSafe Slide Cutter, once again changing the way the food service industry cuts plastic wrap. ZipSafe provided users with complete safety and ease of use when cutting plastic wrap. ZipSafe quickly became a "must have" product for professional chefs worldwide. Using our ZipSafe Slide Cutter along with our extensive knowledge and experience in the world of plastic wrap, we created ChicWrap®. We used the finest, most durable materials available to create a very easy-to-use dispenser with unique and appealing packaging graphics that have broad consumer appeal. ChicWrap® has become a very recognized and widely accepted brand that not only represents high quality, but unmatched functionality. Consumers have expressed amazement at how quick and easy it is to cut a piece of plastic wrap to wrap food or cover a bowl.
