In the U.S., you would put a sandwich in a brown paper bag for lunch at school. Do you wrap it in plastic wrap or paper before putting it in the paper bag? Or direct?

yes. Any type of wrapping you want, but the most common and popular would be a plastic sandwich bag.

@yukinamin I'm not sure if it was originally made for sandwiches or if because it wad the perfect size we just collectively started calling it a sandwich bag, but yes, the small but not mini ziploc bags we generally refer to as sandwich bags or baggies. there are cheaper versions that don't seal and only fold at the top.

They're useful for keeping pretty much any food fresh for short periods of time. But you can use them for almost anything.
They're pretty common in people's kitchens

@am--- Oh, Ziploc! I have lots of them in various sizes. Seems more convenient than wrapping them in paper. I didn't know that Ziplocs are called sandwich bags or baggies. Thanks a lot!

@WalrusLord Thank you kindly. The pictures made it very easy to understand. I thought they looked familiar and lo and behold I had the same one! I didn't know it was a sandwich bag and was using it to hold cookies. I am glad that I will be able to use them to put sandwiches in from now on. Thank you very much!

yes, ziploc is simply a type of brand of plastic bags. But we often use it interchangeably. It's like how all bandages are usually called "Band-aids", when Band-aid is technically just a specific brand of bandage. we tend to use ziploc bags for a lot of things :)

I think lots of kids use brown paper bags for lunches still, but many also have insulated bags, so that you can keep items cold, such as drinks. There are also traditional metal lunchboxes too, but probably not too common anymore.

Being pedantic, but there's a Ziploc product called "sandwich bags"

@FT43 The band-aid example is very clear! Thank you, I see that you also use insulated bags. I was curious to know what they were, so I just looked them up on Amazon and took a look. Sounds good. I don't have one yet, so I'll give it a try. I also looked at traditional metal lunchboxes on Amazon. Are these cube or cuboid shaped? Cute. I was so excited when I saw this one because I had a feeling it would be filled with lots of snacks. I once bought a snack in a container shaped like this at Disneyland. I am sure it design was inspired by lunchboxes. It brought back many happy memories for me. Thank you very much! :D

@dingjimashao Thank you very much! I had no idea that Ziploc was such an all-around great product.😳
