    Title of Your Idea:
    Indispencible Dispensor
    What's Your Idea?:

    When grabbing my flimsy cardboard box containing Glad Cling Wrap I must always reinforce the box with tape to keep it from falling apart.

    Why not have a permanent, reusable plastic container in which to hold the tube of Cling Wrap?  No more wasteful cardboard box and obtain this container FREE with proofs of purchase!  The plastic container would also stack nicely with more stability.  The refills would be sold separately in 2-packs eliminating tons of cardboard.

    What say you?

        Thank you Bonnie Z!  I am not an engineer so I really cannot send you a sketch.  I would reccomend to you, a facsimile of the original box with the same demensions and having a serrated edge of plastic teeth instead of the metal strip.  These teeth would be sturdier, sharper, fun & fast to do the job!  The lid of the box would be connected by tiny hinges to make inserting the refill easy & effortless.  Thank you for your kind comments!

      Boris great idea. I would love to see this too. Especially if you had one nice enough to leave out. I think it would be interesting to have an option to snap to containers together. Not necessarily stack but side by side. Mark

      This is a good idea but it has already been done. I have two plastic dispensers in my kitchen drawer.Someone also thought of this idea a while back,just the tube is put inside the plastic holder.I use one for cling wrap and one for foil.
