Glad’s History
The All-American Glad plastic wrap has an Australian inventor to thank for its popularity. Dr. Douglas Lyons Ford was working for Union Carbide in Sydney, Australia when he first discovered the virtues of the polyethylene-based film that would later become Glad Wrap. The Glad brand didn’t make its debut in the United States until 1963, under the direction of David Darroch. The rest is history. Glad products have been the best friends of domestic household workers ever since. Glad trash bags, cling wrap, food bags, and containers have been the best friends of moms and dads across America.
Glad is a leader in its field and frequently offers new technology for household products like trash bags and food containers. An example of this technology is the Glad “Odor Shield” garbage bag. They come in original scent and lemon scent. The technology is dispersed throughout the whole bag so that people who throw away rotten food don’t have to worry about the smell polluting the whole house. Part of the technology has to do with its 3 ply strength. This bag is meant to deal with serious garbage.
Glad is proud of its OvenWare line that provides containers so durable that they can be used to bake at a price so low that they can be used as disposable. Their line of Press’N Seal cling wrap, designed for refrigerator or freezer conditions, is known for quality and affordability. Glad is simple one of the best in the business at giving every household member an easy way to preserve or dispose of food. They’ve been doing it for quite awhile now and they do it very well.
Garbage bags are one of the most well-known Glad products. When people buy a Glad bag, they know that their garbage is going to stay where it belongs. The original Glad bags were tough but the new ones are invincible. Their ForceFlex drawstring bags are some of the most durable garbage bags on the market and many people keep a large supply all year-round.
