plastic sheet

Pliable synthetic film

A plastic sheet is a flat, flexible piece of plastic material, typically thin and pliable.

Plastic sheets serve countless purposes: covering surfaces for protection, wrapping items, lining containers, or serving as barriers against moisture.

We covered the furniture with plastic sheets before painting.

The term distinguishes flat material from rigid plastic panels or molded forms.
