We love our wrap. It makes it easier for my son to eat his lunch. Clean up is a snap, much easier than plastic containers.

I like the way the wrap-n-mat seals and the general idea of the product, but while (gently!) washing the mat before its first use, i noticed there were 2 holes in the thin plastic liner. The outside layer of the wrap is fabric and the inside is VERY THIN plastic. I'm going to look for an alternate version of the product because i don't know how to prevent water from getting between the layers and molding.

My husband has started to take his lunch to work and these are perfect for sandwiches. I can make his food the night before and it stays fresh until eaten the next day. I figured out that using these will save 10 plastic bags per week and 500 per year!

Perfect for sandwiches. Love that it folds out into a mat that I can then use to eat on. Wipes or hand washes clean easily. Highly recommend.

Initially I was thrilled with this product. Such a simple idea and design, and it works really well for what it's meant for. I wrap my son's sandwhich in it every day for school. I bought it in September, but by December the velcro was wearing out. It still works, but each day the velcro is getting worse and I'm afraid that it won't make it through until the end of the school year. I hand wash this wrap, so I'm not sure why I'm having a problem with the velcro.

I have had a dozen of these for 6 years now- all daily use. Read all the other reviews. I am just adding a couple extra FYI's/cons. They are super easy if you just can let yourself wipe them clean without going into super cleaning mommy mode. If you must get them very wet or soapy, beware of mildew on the fabric as mentioned by another reviewer. They also take days to fully dry. This is easily avoidable if you just wipe the plastic clean and blot/spot clean the fabric. This was initially bothersome for me to just "wipe up" jelly, pb, mayo because I felt like I was not cleaning these greasy wraps well. I wipe them down with a tea tree oil and water solution quickly with a wet paper towel. Simple and cleaning problem resolved! It also blocks mildew in the fabric side.
The two that I placed in the washer to remove the mildew did eventually get tears in the plastic, while the others (all handwashed) did not(not bad for 6 years of constant use). The mildew is gone and I use these for dry snacks like crackers and pretzels. Just a few little tips that I have learned over the last 6 years. Still love them.

My husband has been bringing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to work almost every work day for the last year and a half in our first wrap-n-mat. I'm finally getting him a new one, just because, though this one is still totally functional. He was really skeptical at first, but was completely sold after a week. Sandwich doesn't get dry or stale, and the jelly is contained. We got the recycle print, and I think that in future I might get something darker - jelly on fingers gets transferred to the outside, but the inside wipes very clean. I wipe it out with a vinegar/water solution, and that cleans it nicely.

I am a preschool teacher and I noticed that one of my students had these in his lunch, I thought that was genius! My mom had given me some Rubbermaid containers a few years ago but they are getting pretty worn-out and I refuse to buy any more plastic containers. These are great because they mold to the shape and size of your sandwich so they don't take up any more room than necessary. Plus they turn heads when you pull them out at lunch!

Love my wrap-n-mat. I'm a preschool teacher and I eat my lunch with my students every day -- they all love my neat lunch mat, and I love that I have an instant germ barrier! With the red/white check design, it looks like I'm having a picnic.

by Judith L - 11/2009
I don't love that it has a clear plastic lining, but it does make it easy to clean. It's very practical for work, easy to fill as compared to a sandwich bag, washes well, and the designs are really cute. Surprisingly my young ones could work out how to fold it correctly, which is an added bonus.

Another great wrap-n-mat, although it made me realize how dirty/ worn my older mats have gotten in the past year, relegated to my less-than-pristine backpack :)

Liked it so much, I ordered a second one. Great way to eliminate plastic wrap or bulky containers. Easily cleaned too.

I adore the Wrap-N-Mat. It is flexible for any size sandwich and every time I use it I am using one less disposable product, which is very, very important to me. The environmental design is cute. The Wrap-N-Mat is easy to use and having a built-in placement for my lunch is an extra bonus.

by Lisa W - 09/2009
I've had a solid colored one for myself for quite some time. My first grader was very excited to pick out a print for himself this year. He is even thrilled to pack his own lunch because it's so much fun! I also like that he (theoretically) has a clean "placemat" surface to eat on at school. It's very easy to quickly wipe it down with the dish cloth when I'm emptying his lunch bag at home, preparing everything for the next day.

I love the way this product works
by Elizabeth T - 09/2009
I love the way this product works. Perfect for making sandwiches ahead and either carrying with, or leaving in refrigerator for later. Large enough for big sandwiches, as the velcro is adjustable.
