IF YOU CARE 100% Unbleached Paper Sandwich AND Snack Bags, 48 Count (Pack of 6)

How do you review a brown lunch sandwich bag? To start - it's large enough for an overstuffed sandwich. I love the crinkle sound of the bag, it holds a crease at the top. It is going to make the same old sandwiches seem to take on a new life with this new bag - nostalgic. It will be good to put muffins I bake in the 'donut hole maker' into this for quick grab snacks. This won't cause any moisture mushiness like a plastic wrap will. No waxy feel - all biodegradable. I like it.UPDATE Sept 13: I've been using these bags since they arrived...they are wonderful. My brother gives them 5 stars. I make him 2 sandwiches a day, one for breakfast and one for lunch. When he returns home, I notice he carefully folds the bags up for me to reuse. I can use the same 2 bags, every day, for a week without a problem. They are sturdy and hold up well. Even with crinkles in the paper, they still hold a good crease. I make the sandwiches the night before and they don't dry out nor become soggy in the fridge over-night or until his last sandwich at lunch. I notice when I use plastic wrap or foil he throws those away...these bags are nicely folded and brought back home, so I guess they are a money-saver in the long run.UPDATE Aug 22, 2012: It's been a year since first trying these bags. I've upped the stars from 4 to 5 stars. I absolutely love this product. It's come in handy for so many things. It works almost like parchment paper, too. I've baked in these for wrapped meals, knowing it is all safe against foods. Tomorrow I'm trying large diced potatoes, cheese and bacon put into the bag - pop into an oven and bake about 45 minutes at 350, top with fresh green onions (scallions). So many uses for these bags.UPDATE Aug 23, 2012: Do not use these as a substitute for parchment paper. When I cooked the potatoes in the bag with cheese and bacon - the cheese stuck! I think it would have been okay had I not used cheese. I invested in their parchment paper: If You Care 100% Unbleached Silicone Parchment Paper, 70-Foot Roll (Pack of 4) and will use this either alone or added into the sandwich bags when I bake with them. The sandwich bags did hold up well in a 425 degree toaster oven.**I LOVE their paper cupcake liners. I have the large and Jumbo. (large equals a standard sized muffin cup) If You Care Unbleached Large Baking Cups, 60-Count Boxes (Pack of 24) NOTHING sticks to these at all. Your baking cup paper will peel right off of your cupcakes and muffins with ease, never tearing at even the most delicate cakes. I give a box for a little gift when visiting. These are the best and with the initial investment you won't be buying them for a long time. The brown paper is excellent for us adults who are tired of fake inks and cutesy flowers...the color is very becoming and stays the same before and after the oven. I love the "If You Care" brand.***** Here it is October 2019 and I'm buying another set of these brown bags. The last set lasted a long time. I use these bags for gift giving of baked goods...Pizzelle, Cookies, Muffins, Mini Quick Breads fit nicely inside. My kitchen is at a loss without these bags so I quickly re-ordered.

We originally found these in our Whole Foods store, but they have since stopped carrying them. Buying in bulk in Amazon has also been cheaper.These work really well for sandwiches, cookies, snacks and even some fruits. I personally wouldn’t use them to transport watermelon, pineapple etc, but think that grapes or apple slices would be fine.These seem to hold up well enough to use more than once depending on what you put inside them which I love.They work really well and I love having another option instead of having to use single use plastic baggies.

Perfect, safe bags for food storage.

These work great to wrap food to freeze, before putting it into the freezer bag. Keeps the plastic away from the food.They are also sturdy enough to reuse several times, if the food you wrap is dry. I'd recommend them for anyone who wants to have a safe, healthy alternative to plastic for carrying and storing food.

I previously purchased Natural Value Unbleached Wax Sandwich bags which I will give points for being longer (7 13/16" over 7 1/2") than this brand If You Care. This is slightly more expensive per bag, but I think the If You Care brand is a better quality paper. Overall, I like the feel of this bag better as it feels more like paper, less waxy. It also seems thicker and more durable. In the past 6 years I've used a "Laptop Lunch" system, but now that my daughter is in Middle School with no locker access it's become necessary to pack as light as possible. She has to cross the entire campus a few times before lunch and carries a lot of materials making a Laptop Lunch impractical and likely "less cool". I refuse to do plastic bags so this is our compromise. At least I know it's the best choice we can make. I would recommend these bags.

The unleashed parchment snack/sandwich bags are an eco friendly alternative to our dirty plastic society. If you care about your health and our earth they are worth every penny!

We use these in the kids stainless steel lunch boxes (Planet Box) every day! I put the sandwiches in a bag to put in the lunch box... keeps the PB&J or whatever from getting all over the inside of the box. And, when she has ham and cheese sandwiches, she can take her sandwich still in the bag out of the box and put right into the microwave to heat it up - which she really likes doing.I also use it to put cut up apples and oranges in for when we're going places in the car. Better than using a plastic bag.

I pack a lot of lunches. We are a family that strives to be plastic neutral. These bags are everything they profess to be. They do not leak thru, they are of generous size, they composte in my compost pile. Excellent choice.
