Hi all, just thought I'd share a link i just found, which i thougfht was a rather good idea!

As soon as I can get hold of some the vinyl fabric I'll be giving it a go.
Although I'm not convinced it'd work for anything leaky, like pickled beetroot... |

I like that but I can't see my 11 year old thinking it acceptable in the 'cool' sense if you know what I mean  |

Aye, I think it would rate pretty low on the 'Coolness Factor Scale' of our thirteen year old rugby-playing boy. However, it would be good for girlies I should imagine. |

It looks very pretty but what's wrong with a plastic bag that you wash and reuse? (theoretically what we do but DH keeps forgetting to bring back the bags
Or greaseproof or waxed paper. As far as I remember in the dim and distant past when I was very young (the late 50s to early 60s) we went on many picnics to the seaside without a plastic bag in sight

PUL will do the job - you can usually get it in small quanities (sometimes by the fat quarter) on ebay, or from those nappy sellers that also do MIY findings 
And although it may stain - a pul bag will usually contain beetroot quite nicely

Nothing whatsoever! I just thought this might be a more hardwearing alternative.
i often take salads or leftovers, so a lunchbox is what i most often use, but sarnies tend to rattle around in those so i thought this'd be good for sarnie days.
I'm wondering if the fused plastic bags ( http://forum.downsizer.net/about24117.html&highlight=fusing ) could work for this? |

I just pick a near sandwich sized tupperware. If it's a wee bit small then a bit of squeezing does the job and if it's a wee bit too large it's an excuse to pad it out with a chocolate biscuit or two (purely to stop it rattling of course) |
