What materials are used to make your pouches, and are they truly food-safe?

Our classic snack pouches are made with a 100% cotton exterior, a ProCare® food-safe lining and a YKK zipper.

*ProCare® is 100% CPSIA certified, food safe, medical grade material. It is designed to be a safe, waterproof liner different from PUL. This is not laminated cotton! It is certified free of lead, phthalates, BPA and many other harmful chemicals. It is a 75% vinyl (proprietary formulation), and 25% polyester blend that is eco-friendly and manufactured with minimum environmental impact. 

How do I clean and maintain these pouches to ensure hygiene?

Proper cleaning is vital for maintaining hygiene. It's important to dry them thoroughly to prevent mold or bacteria growth.

Daily Washing: Turn the bag inside out and wipe liner with dish soap to remove any food debris. Hang to dry.

As needed: Washing can be on a any cycle. The use of chlorine bleach is not recommended. Hang to dry or tumble. High heat can cause the liner to soften and fuse to itself.

How durable are these pouches, and how many times can they be reused?

The durability of reusable pouches varies based on use, but generally our pouches can be reused multiple times, potentially lasting for years with proper care. The Procare liner is rated for 300 industrial washes! Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended to ensure continued safety and functionality.

Can they be used in microwaves or freezers?

No! Due to the zipper and mixed materials, our pouches are not microwave safe. 

We also do not recommend using our pouches in the freezer as when the lining freezes it can crack, ruining the integrity of the pouch. 

What sizes and designs are available to accommodate different food items?

Our reusable pouches come in various sizes, shapes and designs to suit different needs! From petite snack bags that can second as a change purse to larger ones for big snacks or toiletries, there is a variety of fun size options.

How do they compare in cost to disposable bags over time?

While the upfront cost of reusable pouches is higher than disposable bags, they can lead to savings over time due to their repeated use. Calculating the break-even point involves considering the initial investment against the frequency of use and the cost of disposables they replace.

 

Allergies

Wash your bags before use. Our items are made in a studio with two cats and a dog. If you have allergies, please be aware that your products have likely come in contact with one (or all) of these pets.
