Plastic wrap inquiry / locomotive

Does anyone know the name/or where to buy the plastic wrap that is usually put on top of a locomotive before the plastic clamshell package is closed. It almost has a “silky ness” to it. Almost every manufacturer uses it. I sent a email to Athearn, and there reply was “non sticky plastic wrap” ( which doesn’t put me on the right track )...cheers

There has been a 'foam like' but flexible thin plastic sheet

Athern you mention, sounds like ordinary plastic wrap
used in the kitchen.

I’ve seen this on a new Bachmann GG1 as well as an Athearn SD40-2. It is definitely not plastic kitchen wrap. It seems to be intended to prevent scuffing of paint in areas where the loco shell might contact the plastic ‘clamshell’ container.
