What is "pe?"

Do you mean paraffin, not cellophane? Cellophane here in the US has
been the same clear, papery crisp product since at least the 40s. You
couldn't seal anything with it without putting tape around it to hold
it in place.

Paraffin is wax-like; I have used it to seal jellies and jams.
