Default Storing Fabric On Plastic Wrap -- Is Plastic Wrap Acid Free?

I have researched comic boards and I’m not convinced that both sides are acid free. Is that just me who is thinking this way?

I was wondering if a kitchen plastic wrap (like a Saran Wrap) is acid free? I found a little bit of information on the web about that packing “shrink wrap” which seemed to indicate that that is acid free (I’m not 100 percent sure though). Does anyone know the answer of these questions? I tried to search on the internet but didn’t get any definite information to satisfy my skepticism.

If plastic wrap is acid free, perhaps that would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people. Those who like to use the bolts from JA’s and other stores could first wrap the cardboard with plastic wrap and then wrap the fabric around that. Also, if comic boards are not 100 percent acid free on both sides (and on the edges), I would feel better to wrap the boards in plastic wrap if plastic wrap is acid free.

Thanks for any help you can give me!
