The eco wrap used in Australia was created with the hope that many people in Japan would use it as well. Each item is carefully dyed and coated by hand, and we are committed to Made in Japan.

Each of the beautiful, eye-catching colors are made with a focus on natural dyeing, so you can enjoy the natural colors and textures.

How to use and care

aco wrap softens with the warmth of your hand, so it fits all kinds of materials.

The ingredients are organic cotton, beeswax, jojoba oil, and natural resins, all of which are naturally derived, making it safe to use on foodstuffs.

It can also be used as a simple vegetable storage bag by attaching wraps together, or as a carrying bag for sandwiches and rice balls. When used as a lid, the material softens at the temperature of your hand, so by gently covering it with your hand, theviscosity ofthe aco wrapwill increase and it will fit the plate. If it is cooled in the refrigerator, it becomes hard, so it changes its texture to a light and airy one. Also, by wrapping the food in ACO WRAP,the moisturizing properties ofhoneydew and jojoba oilwork toprevent the excess food from drying out, making it last longer.

Some people may be a little reluctant to switch from disposable plastic wrap to reusable plastic wrap. For such people, we recommend first trying to use them together. Just by using them together, you can reduce the amount of disposable wrap used and experience the ease of use.

To care for it, simply hand-wash it in gently cold water. If you are concerned about stains, you can also wash it with mildly acidic dishwashing detergent. The reason for washing in cold water is that beeswax is sensitive to heat, and the coating is difficult to remove because the beeswax hardens when the acowrap is cooled in water. Thanks to the honeydew coating, the product is water-repellent and can be used immediately with a quick wipe with a dish towel, making it easy to clean.

Recommended usage by size

Using aco wrap leads to an “environmentally friendly life.

It is easy to use because it is made to fit in with Japanese food and lifestyle, and is recommended for those who are particular about its appearance.The design blends well with food and daily life, and will be appreciated as a gift.

The following is an introduction to the sizes of aco wrap and recommended uses for each.

aco wrap S size

Size S is made to fit a 3″ plate and measures approximately 13 cm in diameter.

It is sized to fit small bowls, lids of empty bottles, and onion and ginger slices, and sticks snugly to foodstuffs. Wrap it around a bunch of bananas to prevent them from over-ripening.

You can also use the ACO WRAP wrapped around leftover onions as a little bowl. It is very convenient to place the cut vegetables in the bowl of plastic wrap that was wrapped earlier to reduce the amount of washing during preparation.

aco wrap M size

Size M is made to fit the 5″ size and has a diameter of 19 cm.

It is the perfect size for a single dish, a leftover side dish, or a cut of avocado or apple, and vegetables such as carrots can be wrapped around it to reduce water loss.

One of the best ways to store cheese among food items is in ACO WRAP. When stored in plastic-based wrap, cheese dries out and becomes crumbly, but when stored in ACO WRAP, the moisture-retaining power of beeswax keeps it from drying out, and the material allows a little air to pass through, helping to regulate moisture content during fermentation.

aco wrap L size

Size L is made to fit the 9″ size and has a diameter of 33 cm.

This size is capable of wrapping and carrying large leafy vegetables, bread, and sandwiches. It can also be used as a container for storing cut vegetables if the edges of the wrap are folded to form a bag shape. The honeydew retains moisture and prevents drying, so leafy greens will last longer.

ACO WRAP is also very useful when camping. By wrapping pre-cooked food and bread in aco wrap and taking them with you, there is no waste when you are done eating, and you can wrap up any leftovers and take them home with you. When spread out on the table, it can also be used as a simple plate. Since it is quick-drying and easy to clean with water, we recommend using it outside for camping and picnics.
