A Simple Solution to Prevent Deli Meat Packaging from Tearing [VIDEO]

If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of trying to open deli meat at home, only to have the packaging rip apart because of the stubborn sticker, you’re not alone. It's one of those small but persistent pet peeves that many supermarket shoppers share.

I know this struggle all too well. For years, every time I brought home deli meat or cheese, the plastic bag would tear as soon as I tried to open it, rendering it useless for keeping the contents fresh. But after countless frustrating experiences, I’m happy to report that I’ve finally found a solution—and it’s easier than you might think.

The trick isn’t about finding the “right” side to open the bag from. Instead, it’s all about how you tear it open. The key is to pull evenly from both ends of the bag, which reduces the resistance from the sticker glue on the plastic. By doing this, you’ll create a clean cut across the sticker without tearing the bag itself. This means your deli meats and cheeses will stay sealed and fresh for longer.

Over the past month and a half, I’ve tested this method multiple times, and not once did the plastic bag rip. It just goes to show that trial and error is a powerful tool, even when it comes to solving simple everyday problems like this one.

So next time you’re at the deli, remember this little trick—it might just save you from another frustrating encounter with a ripped plastic bag.
