We are asked this question a lot: Where do you find easy-to-clean, food-safe, reusable sandwich bags? And we've answered it here, here, and here. Each time, you've filled the comments with great options from Etsy sellers and other companies, so we decided to gather all of our intelligence (thus far) into one place. Here's the mother lode.
We kept our list to snack and sandwich bags only; no produce or lunch bags (you can search for those in our archives, though—we've covered both quite a bit). And our criteria, besides having a usable photo to show you, are that the bags come in a variety of colors and patterns, be sealable (Velcro or zipper), and be lined with nylon or some other wipeable material.
We're breaking it down by Etsy and Non-Etsy, with the Non category up first. Obviously, there are dozens, probably hundreds, of Etsy sellers we're not mentioning. We tried to stick to sellers recommended by you in the comments of other posts; that way, they're vouched for by at least one person out there. If you have a favorite that isn't on our list, let us know.
NON-ETSY:
• 1. Lunchskins; $7.85 for snack size, $8.95 for sandwich size
• 2. RuMe Bags; $4.95 for baggies, $4.50 for "pockets."

• 7. Kids Konserve Food Kozy; 2 for $9 or 5 for $23.
• 8. Green Time Bags; $6.95 for snack size, $8.95 for sandwich size.

• 9. Waste Not Saks; $6.50 for snack size, $7.50 for sandwich size.
• 10. Love For Earth; $6.50 for snack size, $9.60 for sandwich size.
• 11. Bag it Conscious; $6.50 for snack size, $7 for sandwich size.
• 12. Julie Meyer; $14 for a sandwich/snack set.

We use the Wrap-N-Mat for our sandwiches. They are machine washable (hang dry.) Also the lunchskins are great for dry snacks.

holy guacamole batman, check out these neat bags.
I have a pair of Fresh Snack Packs that I like since they open up and double as a place mat or fold back and sorta stand up.

Tooting my own horn here: I make sandwich/snack bags from cotton fabric and from repurposed umbrella fabric. My shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheGreenCat
Apartment Therapy readers can save 10%. Just use code Therapy10
you can also get reusable, machine washable Snack Pods at www.infantaisle.etsy.com. Soon to be featured: Organic Snack Pods! They are lined with 100% organic cotton and are waterproof (inner lining all natural rubber).
You know, it's quite easy to make them yourself. I have a surger, but you could always use bias tape. I found some plasticy/nylonish water resistant fabric for the inside, and I use fabric scraps for the outside. It's much cheaper! And you get to pick your own designs.
Just my two cents :).
i love againbags:

they're handsewn in the usa and bpa, lead and phthalate free
easy to clean.
i haven't used plastic bags or wrap in months, it's fantastic.
You missed againbags! I love them! I've taken them to work with me every day for the last year, and they are awesome! They've just come out with a solid color active line that I can't wait to get...check out www.againbags.com...and guess what - they are running a promotion - use coupon code: Active20 to get 20% off your entire order!
Againbags: www.againbags.com
Yep....I too will vote for an 'againbags' mention. Love them.
I really like the look of the Snack Taxi. I also checked out the Againbags that are listed above and I really like the idea that the materials used are BPA and lead free. That is one concern when I reuse any type of water bottles or product over and over.
This article s informative and I'm going to stock up on some of these. thanks!
We use Againbags for the kids. i love that they hold "wet" snacks like oranges as well.
LOVE that Againbags are free of harmful chemicals. They're also very chic and convenient to hold my daughter's snacks. They save us money on having to buy throw away bags; they are totally cost effective and crafted with such high quality.
Ooh, and they just launched solid colors!
againbags.com! Waterproof & washable ... LOVE THEM
Another happy againbags.com user (taking over the world), this time from England (it's cool that you can get them shipped worldwide). Like Heidilfig, I was quite surprised that they hold things like fruit without them getting soggy. I also thought that sandwiches would dry out but they are actually really good. Love that I can be eco-friendly without a downside.
Thought I would let everyone know about a new reusable baggie I helped create, neat-os! They are also BPA, PVC and phthalate free, can be washed in the dishwasher, washing machine or hand wash. neat-os also keep your produce staying free longer. We use a zipper and you can see what's inside...
