Default Favorite Reusable Sandwich Container?

I'd like to get DH some reusable sandwich containers for work. Any favorites? I'd like something that is relatively slim and will fit in his lunch bag.

EZ lunchboxes have a big compartment for a sandwich and two smaller compartments for sides. We have them and I really like them!

I got some of these. (The picture shows velcro flaps but the ones they sent have zippers). I like them. Another pattern.

We like the planet wise sandwich bags (zipper or velcro) and also sandwich wraps.

For sandwiches I like the hard containers. The soft ones always end up with smooshed sandwiches in our world.

My absolute fave containers are the tupperware sandwich keepers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0086KSF6C...a-321601551491 I've always just picked them up at garage sales when I see them.

I also have the standard rubbermaid containers that every store sells and use them often for sandwiches, especially when I make sandwiches out of the bigger bread. They're not as slim as the tupperware ones but sometimes work better depending on what I'm putting in. In fact I have multiple sizes of these and use them for almost everything we pack in our lunches. https://www.target.com/p/rubbermaid-...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

I second the sandwich keeper from tupperware. They are good.

Default Re: Favorite Reusable Sandwich Container?

I like the idea of a lunchbox, but that would mean I'd have to clean it every day. It's not something DH will remember to do himself. Also, his lunch bag is insulated and he puts a cold pack in there for hard boiled eggs. He says the kitchen at work is disgusting (though starting in a couple days, he'll be working at a newly built store - it won't be gross for a little while at least? ), so so he won't put his lunch in the fridge.

Also, I have a reusable pouch type thing with velcro. I will ask how he feels about that sort of thing.
