Using Sandwich & Snack Bags
Our reusable sandwich & snack bags are smart alternative to the millions of plastic baggies used everyday. Regardless of the material they're made from - organic cotton, nylon, recycled PET and more - they divert waste from our landfills and can save you money in the long run.
Switching to reusable sandwich & snack bags is a new idea, so below are some tips to help make your transition a smooth one:
- Use cloth bags for dry snacks and safe plastic or plastic-lined sandwich bags like the Fresh Snack Pack or Wrap-N-Mat to keep sandwiches fresh. The nylon versions from reuseit® are even sturdier & more moisture-resistant than cloth.
- Wrap sandwiches in a slightly damp napkin before storing them in a cloth reusable sandwich bag - or be generous with condiments, especially if you're storing them in the fridge overnight.
- Wrap sandwiches in wax paper before storing them in cloth reusable sandwich bags - this can hold in moisture, and keep the bag clean - it still creates some waste, but at least paper biodegrades.
- Pack sandwiches in cloth reusable bags the same day they'll be eaten. A refrigerator's job is to remove moisture from food, so bread can get dry when stored in a cloth reusable sandwich bag.
