I think these are great, but after a few weeks of regular use they started to retain food odors (even though we hand washed them and let them air dry, as the directions said). This weekend, I put them through the "hand wash" cycle in our washer with some other things, which finally got rid of the odor. I wanted to pass the tip along!

I love the theory of wrap-n-mats

I love the theory of wrap-n-mats. My dislike is that they are flimsy and unattractive. In a sandwich utopia, these would be made out a single, thick material, like Lunchskins, instead of a a plastic-lined cloth that is attached at the ends and can fray and rip. The cloth and construction are not high quality. That said, I love the design of the product. I know I will have to replace these much sooner than other products, but they work as described.

I have used Wrap-n-Mats for some time and appreciate them enough that I've ordered them again, this time for Christmas gifts for my family. I ordered them in the recycle print because I wanted to also make a statement as to how I feel about our environment.

I get compliments on it all the time!

I take my lunch to grad school each day and usually make a sandwich. The sandwiches fit perfectly—and even when I use outsized bread, I find that the Wrap-N-Mat® is still a great choice. It actually fits more than a traditional ziplock bag.
My only complaint is that the velcro is often in the wrong place: it's either too short or too long. I often use a rubber band to keep it closed (or just leave it loose).
I also use it to carry cookies for lunch.

These mats are fantastic. I bought them for the lunches of my 5-year-old son and my husband. Both boys like them. My husband eats a full sandwich but my son only eats a half, and the mat accommodates either size. They can fit all the other foods from their lunch bags on the mat. They clean up quickly, but the material side must air dry, so I recommend having extras. Previously, I had used a hard plastic container for my husband's sandwich, but the soft-sided nature of these mats is helpful to me when I need to fit everything in the lunch bag. I highly recommend this product.

WHY DIDN"T I THINK OF THESE?
by sandra p - 03/2010
These are one of those things that you learn about and say "why didn't I think of that?" I have had these mats for a few years now, I wipe the mats down every night and on Friday night I put them in the wash, I air dry them. I have learned that after I close the velcro that two cookies can be shoved under the flap on each side of the velcro. My significant other is a computer guy and he puts the two wrap a mats into his briefcase and off he goes every morning. He loves the fact that he can eat at his computer with the mat as his place mat. They have held up beautifully.

These sandwich bags are the BEST! I bought my first set over two years ago and since we have added to our family size I needed to buy more. The older set is still in great condition, and they are so easy to use and clean. No more plastic bags at my house!I highly recommmend them to everyone.

sandwich wrap mat -- set of 3
by Jennifer E - 03/2010
These are perfect for sandwiches, even oversized ones. They are very easy to clean by wiping down or soaking and they dry quickly. It's a great way to reduce the need for plastic sandwich bags. Also, it gives a mat for the kids to have a lunch on in case the table surface isn't clean. I highly recommend these!

I had been eyeballing these for quite some time but wasn't sure how much I'd use one. My daughter takes a sandwich (she's a creature of habit) to school every single day and this thing has been terrific. I love it, she loves it, and the lunchroom aide even coveted it. I can't believe I waited so long to buy them.

Great, except for cleaning
by April M - 03/2010
I love the concept, I've loved using these, my kindergartener, preschooler, and I use these daily. That being said, the fabric is HORRID to clean. While the plastic side wipes clean very easily with a soapy sponge, the fabric side does not come very clean. Having used them for 6 months, I now notice some mold in the seams where the fabric and plastic are sewn together.
I must add that 6 months of use certainly has saved MANY plastic baggies from the landfill, and I will certainly replace these with another reusable item as that is so important to me (and our planet!) However, I will be purchasing the kind that is plastic on BOTH sides.

the Velcro is very strong. It's about 3 times stronger than it needs to be. Really, how much does it take to keep a sandwich wrapped? Don't wear a sweater to lunch because it's an accident waiting to happen. All joking aside, good product. Have yet to test it's long term durability and have yet to wash them, however.

The regular size mats are good for average size sandwiches and I like the fact that I have a built in place mat. After use I simply wash with mild dish detergent, open it and let it air dry in a few hours.

Wrap n Mat - Regular size, set of 3
by Monique L - 11/2009
Too small by 1" in both directions. I generally like the wider whole grain breads. I love the product and enjoy the larger size very much for lots of lunch things, including a bodacious submarine sandwich.
