Whether you call them, Snack bags, Wetbags or Ziplock bags, they have the same goal: Replacing one-time plastic and disposable ziplock bags! You don't realise how useful a reusable ziplock bag is, until you make the swap. Many of the sizes would make a perfect bag for your mask, or phone! or medication...
These snack bags and wet bags, are handmade by myself, using a fabric called Pul: which is a polyester fabric with an eco laminate layer sprayed onto the inside. This has been certified as food-safe: meaning it is Lead and BPA free.
As the fabric is is waterproof it will keep the wet stuff inside, with outside staying dry so is perfect for your used cutlery after lunch, and at the end of the day, just rinse under the tap and hang out to dry. Or throw in the washing machine with your laundry.
(Due to the zip and stitching, the bag can-not be fully water tight, so after a longer time, wetness may seep through)
