This adorable reusable sandwich bag is the perfect size for a sandwich and also great for snacks like crackers, cereal, cookies, apples, grapes, celery, carrots and more (thanks to the waterproof lining).

The outside of the bag is a 100% cotton print. The bag is lined with a waterproof PUL (polyurethane laminated knit – used commonly in cloth diaper making), and a polyester thread is used for increased strength and durability.

Each bag also has a 1/2″ x 6″ hook and loop tape closure, ensuring the goodies you pack won’t spill out or leave a trail of crumbs.

When you’re done using a bag, just shake out the crumbs, or if it gets messy (as ours do after a peanut butter and jelly sandwich), just toss it in the washer and line dry. Nicely priced at $7.25 each! Hurry and get yours at MamaMade
