This reusable sandwich bag has the potential to take the place of more than 1,000 plastic bags in its lifetime. Not only does this save all of these bags from becoming non-biodegradable trash, but you will save your money as well. It has been estimated that a family of four could save as much as $3,000 per year by avoiding disposable containers and single-serving size packages.
re-twilly's reusable sandwich and snack bags are convenient to use and are very easily maintained. My bags are made with stylish 100% cotton exterior and are lined with water- and stain-resistant nylon. After using, you may simply shake out the crumbs, turn the bag inside-out and wipe the liner down, or if you have a particularly goopy PB&J that day just turn it inside out, toss it in the washing machine on cold, and line dry. They are closed using a generous strip of Velcro -- keeping your goodies securely inside.
I began making reusable sandwich/snack bags for Evan, my 6 year old son with allergies. Last year I just couldn’t see sending him to kindergarten with leaching plastic bags or containers. I did my research and came up with this template that includes nylon as the lining, which is food-safety approved. Many lunch sacks on the market use a form of oilcloth, which in not approved for food use as it leaches oil into your food.
These bags are great for school lunches, office lunches, make-up, dog treats, toiletries, or anything else that can be stored in a plastic bag, and are completely REUSABLE.
