That way, you can clean the sandwich 'sheet' and the oilcloth pocket only gets a quick wipe when required; it's also much safer than have food touch the oilcloth all the time (and if the sandwich 'leaks' as is sometimes the case with jelly or peanut butter, you don't get such a big mess to clean).

A paper bag for your lunch provided on Monday, carefully returned every day through the week, then binned on Friday. Though now you would recycle it. And look I'm alive and fit and the nasty germs didnt get me, nor all my friends who did the same thing. I am a living anique I remember reusable lunch raps that were disposable too.

I have oilcloth I purchased that I thought would be lovely- is that also unsafe? Where can I find out more? Thanks! Can anyone clarify why vinyl is not food-safe?

They are cheap and easy to clean. Even though they have no plastic layer, they are still quite good at keeping sandwiches seperated from the other food in the lunchbox, and keeping some moisture in.

Anyone have any leads on getting that kind of material by the yard? The stuff in the Wrap-N-Mats is a clear plastic layer... I was thinking the same thing about the liner needing to be food safe.

I used oilcloth for both sides, thinking at the time that it would make the easiest clean up. 2. The cottony inside of the oilcloth soaked up moisture and wouldn't try out, causing it to mold and get funky. I think I should try this one because I am totally sold on the concept and tried, unsuccessfully, banning ziploc bags from our house.

Vinyl/PVC is not. But it's a super cute idea, and a great way to cut waste. Be sure that the material you line your sandwich wrapper in is food-safe. Vinyl/PVC is not.
