4A better and more expensive alternative to plastic wrap...  May 03, 2010 By T. Wright
I like these Wrap-N-Mats, but I find them a bit bothersome to wash and so they don't get used quite as frequently as I'd like. They do beat disposable plastic wrap. I purchased both these and some of the Kids Konserve Food Kozy sandwich wraps from Amazon. Both products have their good and bad points. I want to say that I like the Wrap-N-Mats more, but honestly, these Food Kozies get used more than the Wrap-N-Mats do because 1) I'm not as worried about how I wash them and 2) I can label them. Would I recommend either type to someone else? Yes, if I also told the would-be buyer the pros and cons that I have found them to have. In that spirit, here's my comparison of the two items:

Food Kozies
*Round
*Single sheet of PE plastic
*Not a big choice of designs; personally not too excited by their choice of pattern
*So exactly what justification is there for their price other than the fact that not a lot of companies make things like this....?
*An unexpected perk that I love - I can write on these with dry-erase markers so I don't have to open up package after package in the fridge to find out what's inside; marker wipes off pretty easily even after a week or two
*They are just one sheet of plastic so I did get one that was cut slightly (apparently when they attached the velcro); I pulled on the torn edges gently but it didn't seem like the tear was about to go any farther so I just ignored it and it hasn't gotten any worse
*A big positive point for these is that they are all just plastic - I can throw them in the sink and not worry about how long it might be until I do a load of dishes by hand, no worry about discoloration of fabric or mold on the fabric (of course I would never leave anything in the sink long enough to get moldy..... ahem...)

Wrap-N-Mats
*Octagonal
*LDPE plastic liner sewn onto fabric covering
Liner is only sewn around the edges, so it's not quite as neat as I'd like to see it, but there's really no problem here except for a slight aesthetic one; on the other hand, it probably helps keep things more sterile since there isn't any thread to clean on the food side of the wrap
*Really cute designs; my four-year-old actually gets excited about taking them to preschool to show his friends
*Not cheap, but at least there's an indication that some work was done to make this product; seems to justify the price a little more than Food Kozy's sheet-of-plastic-plus-Velcro approach
*They seem pretty sturdy; as the company says there are lines in the plastic, but they are just from the manufacturing and they don't actually hurt the product at all
*The real downfall - I only wash the liner of these and I don't put them in the sink since I don't want the fabric getting food or liquid on it; in other words, they tend not to get washed because they sit beside the sink with all of my "need to be handwashed but are too fragile or special to go into the sink so I only end up washing one or two of these each time I do a load of hand-washed dishes" items
*One note about the Wrap-N-Mats; they have different materials for the liners depending on whether they are made in the US or in China. The ones I got on Amazon mentioned something like "the ones made in the US are made from...." but didn't actually specify whether the item I was looking at was made in the US or not. It turns out that they were, but based on the description I wasn't 100% sure which I would get until I received them.

Both
*LDPE/PE ("sandwich bag plastic")
*Phthalate-free, BPA-free
(presumable both lead free although Kids Konserve doesn't specify)
*Velcro-style closure
*Fairly sturdy; I expect them to stand up to quite a bit of use
*They do keep food surprisingly fresh for much longer than I'd expect from something like this

2I wish I liked this more  May 11, 2009 By Philosopher Mom
This was a product I really wanted to like. It's a wonderful idea but didn't work out quite so well in real life. The wrap mat does keep the sandwich fresh but doesn't protect it from the other items floating in my son's lunchbox, such as milk or apples.

It needs to be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and left to air dry - which means you can't wash it at the last minute. In a pinch, just wipe down the plastic liner. I did try machine washing and drying, with unsuccessful results. (For those of you who want to know what happened, the plastic shrinks and warps.)

If I were to redesign this product, I would try a laminated fabric used for high-quality cloth-diaper covers. This would make the product machine washable and more durable overall.

Meanwhile, I've gone back to the plastic sandwich box, and it's working out just fine. BTW, no one should be using plastic bags for sandwiches anymore...

5Ingenious!  Aug 06, 2008 By Neddie Ludd "Neddie Ludd"
The outside is fabric, the inside is PEVA plastic. No lead, only vegetable dyes in the fabric, fair labor/fair wage product. I handwash & drip dry in the dish rack.

5Fantastic, easy way to be green!  Nov 27, 2008 By Chi
This is a genius idea, thanks to whoever came up with it. For years I have been tired of using ziplocks and tossable products and now this!.
It is easy to use - just place goodies and fold.
Non toxic.
Keeps your food fresh - no joke.
Get many, give them to all your family and feel good about not contributing to the landfills :)

2great idea but not sure about liner  Nov 21, 2010 By LCT
I like that the product unwraps into a place mat, providing a clean surface for eating. It's also easy to use and comes in fun designs - both pluses for kids.

I'm concerned about the liner though. It arrived with deep scratches/cuts, so these areas are now weakened. We might have gotten a fluke - will check the other two and see. I'm curious to see how the product holds up over several years, assuming proper care. The liner material is similar to that found in thick plastic bags. The mat will certainly out-live standard sandwich bags.

Regarding the air dry aspect mentioned in other comments ... I'm realizing that these are not so practical if you are really tight on space. They need to drip dry, so you'll want some space in a dish rack, over a sink/tub, or outside. Also, the air-dry time depends on the humidity. We're at 30+% right now, so it took a few hours. In the summer, we'll be at 60+% ... it'll take a lot longer.
