    For work - a sandwich box

    For a picnic - the bag the bread came out of in the first place.

    Old small ice cream box, or takeaway box.

    Not wrapped just put in the box.

  • Ours just go in a lunch box unless the filling is 'wet' (tuna, anything with sauce) then I wrap them first, usually in foil as cling film drives me batty as I can't get the wrapping to stay as tight as I want it to be!

    For my daily lunchbox i just use a plastic snappy lid tupperware type box and dont wrap anything...
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
  • I use the cheap freezer bags, but then I like squashed sandwiches :rotfl:

    For me, it depends on 'how many sandwiches' and 'how long for'.

    I've been known to take enough to feed the 5,000 on a 'full-family picnic day'. Sandwiches have 'gone back into the wrapper' and been sealed with a 'bag clip'. Then into an insulated picnic bag with icepacks to keep them chilled.

    For packed lunch for one person, it's a sandwich wrapped in clingfilm and then put into an old 'takeaway container'.
