Abstract:
A flexible, polymeric, self-adhering, disposable film and delivery system for countertop protection during food preparation. The film or sheet is constructed and arranged to temporarily and releasably adhere to an upper surface of the countertop to cover enough of the food-preparation surface in order to protect that surface from any particulates coming from food preparation activity. In one form, multiple film sheets are packaged together by stacking the individual sheets or by forming a continuous roll of sheets. The continuous roll of sheets are separable into individual sheets by means of a perforated score line or by cutting such as with scissors or other tools. One or more perforated score lines can be formed in the roll of sheets thereby forming a pattern of score lines for creating a wide variety of sizes and shape options for the individual sheets from a single roll of sheets.
