What Do You Wrap Sandwiches In?

My son has superhero fabric wraps and me and hubby just use tubs or any sort.

Love the look of these but don't like the price, are these just fabric or do they have a plastic lining, I fancy making some with fabric bits I have in, Also can anyone using them think of any problems
likedly to occur and do they keep sandwich fresh?

I've never used them, never heard of them before I clicked on the link but wondering how you kept them clean after a use without having to wash them, I clicked on the description which tells you that they have a

Food safe, PEVA liner that wipes clean

I use the bags from the inside of cereal boxes, bread bags, or foil which I re-use.

They have wipe clean plastic inside & the gingham cloth on the outside (that stays clean too, so it must be treated with something) & velcro tabs to hold it together.
Apart from looking nice, if you eat your lunch at your desk, it opens out like a little picnic blanket. It keeps your desk area clean & protects your lunch from all the germs on your desk.

I see thank you, think I am going to buy one and see if can copy it, I rather fancied making some to give as presents.

Great idea, I think you could improve it by using proper wipe clean on both sides:D

This is the first link from my search- uses a plastic bag as the wipe- clean liner.

This is one which uses vinyl tablecloth material.

This one uses something called fusible vinyl.

I want to make some now!

I made my own Wrap'n'Mat equivalents about two years ago and use them all the time. I made a small, medium, and large, so even if I'm having a huge sandwich it can be wrapped perfectly. They don't spill or leak, they're wipe-clean, and they are light and flat when empty so I don't mind carrying them home again.

I made mine with fusible Vinyl (it's not marked as food safe but that doesn't bother me), but if I have to make more I'll try and get some pretty oilcloth.

Everybody should have some of these!

I always use foil. Cling film is complete nono for me as I find it makes them sweat. I don't like plastic boxes just because if I am having sandwiches it is because I am out and about and don't want to be carrying an empty box around with me afterwards.
