The three we stock

Everything here is in our own warehouse, not ordered in when you buy it.

Genuine film, from our own shelf

We are an authorized reseller and the stock is ours. It is not drop-shipped from somebody else's warehouse, and it is not repackaged — the roll that arrives is the roll the manufacturer boxed, in its own dispenser carton with the interleaving paper intact.

That matters more on this product than it looks. The interleaving is part of the film: it is what stops the roll sticking to itself. A roll that has been opened, split and rewrapped is a roll you will fight with at the bench.

Schools, universities and laboratories buy this by the case on a purchase order, and that is a normal Tuesday here rather than an exception to route around. Ask and you get a price, a lead time and a W-9 the same day.

How it goes

  1. Tell us what you get through

    Which widths, roughly how many rolls, and how often. That is enough for a price.

  2. A quote the same day

    Priced per roll and per case, valid 30 days, with a W-9 and any safety documentation your purchasing office asks for.

  3. Invoice against your PO

    Terms once there is an account. The stock is ours, so a repeat order does not wait on anybody else.

Which one do I need?

A row of sizes cannot answer this, so here it is in words.

2 in × 250 ft — the everyday roll

The width most benches get through fastest: tubes, small flasks, plate edges. If you are ordering for a teaching lab, this is the one to order by the case.

4 in × 125 ft — wider work

Larger flask necks, bigger vessels and anything that needs to be covered rather than wrapped. Same film, twice the width, half the length.

PM992 or PM999

PM992 is the standard all-purpose film. PM999 comes on a longer 4 in roll for benches that use a lot of it and would rather change the roll less often.

Common Questions

Is this genuine Parafilm M?
Yes. We are an authorized reseller and stock ships from our own inventory — not drop-shipped, and not repackaged.
Can we buy on a purchase order?
Yes. Schools, universities and laboratories order this way constantly: ask for a quote and you get a price, a lead time and a W-9 the same day.
What is the difference between the widths?
Only the width and the length on the roll — the film is the same. Choose by what you seal most: 2 in for tubes and small flasks, 4 in for larger vessels.
How should it be stored?
Cool and dry, in its own dispenser box. The interleaving paper is part of the product; it stops the film sticking to itself on the roll.
