Think of the time you will save sealing mulitple dishes faster with minimal effort.
Traditional methods require wrapping the plate 2 to 3 times, wasting time and effort. In less than 5 seconds, you can slip one seal over the dish and you are done, allowing you to go on to the next one and the next one. Shrink Seals are used on plates to avoid drying of media. They are also good for safe and secure sealing of plates containing fungal, tuberculosis (TB), or bacterial cultures that require long incubations.
