What are LunchSkins made of?

LunchSkins are made from a thick cotton fabric that is coated with a food-safe polyurethane liner.  This unique high-quality fabric is manufactured in Europe by a family-owned business and has been used for many years in bakeries and restaurants. Additionally, LunchSkins are grease-proof and moisture proof making them ideal for messy sandwiches and snacks. 

What makes LunchSkins food-safe?

We have put LunchSkins through a rigorous testing process by an independent lab. They have been certified as lead, Bisphenol-A (BPA) and phthalate-free. The very thin layer of polyurethane has also been tested and found not to migrate into food or leave a “plastic” odor behind, thus meeting EU requirements for food contact. Our test results are available upon request.

Are LunchSkins Dishwasher Safe?

Yes, LunchSkins are dishwasher safe.  Because of their origins in the food industry, they are very durable and can withstand high heat cleaning. This makes them perfect for repeated use. We recommend that LunchSkins be turned inside-out and washed before first use and, while lightweight and fast-drying, make sure they are dried completely before using with food. They will soften and fade with use and multiple washings - just like a pair of favorite old jeans

Why are LunchSkins considered a green product?

To be worthy of the term “green”, a product must offer some environmental benefit. Here is how LunchSkins stack up:

• they are durable and reusable and replace single-use bags that end up in landfills.
• each bag is produced only once but can be used hundreds of times thereby reducing pollution and waste.
• they are manufactured responsibly in the USA.
• find out more about plastic in our environment.
