The most important role plastic wrap plays in food packaging is protection and preservation. Plastic wrap can prevent food from perishing, extend its shelf-life, and maintain the quality of food. Plastic wrap generally provides protection for food from three aspects: chemical (gases, moisture, and light), biological (microorganisms, insects and animals), and physical (mechanical damage). In addition to food protection and preservation, plastic wrap can also reduce [[food waste]], tag food information, ease the distribution processes, and increase product visibility and microwavability.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Marsh|first1=Kenneth|last2=Bugusu|first2=Betty|date=2007|title=Food Packaging—Roles, Materials, and Environmental Issues|journal=Journal of Food Science|volume=72|issue=3|pages=R39–R55|doi=10.1111/j.1750-3841.2007.00301.x|pmid=17995809|issn=1750-3841}}</ref>
