I pack sandwiches in lunch bag (insulated) and include an ice pack. The bread gets soggy, how can this be prevented?

I had this same problem so I put the ice pack in a ziplock bag and put a folded paper towel between the ice pack and the sandwich. I haven't had a soggy sandwich since.
That's didn't work for us. He is a truck driver and his bread is soggy he only eats bread cheese and .meat
And if msconni1's idea doesn't work for you try adding your condiments just before eating. All you need is very small tupperware containers and a knife.
Leave off the condiments and tomatoes, lettuce, etc. if you use those. Put them in a separate sandwich bag. The bread is absorbing the moisture from the "wet" stuff.
He eats the sandwiches plain and the bread gets soggy I need to find a container which don't hold moisture. We bought a sandwich box and put the bread in that in the meat and in a baggie but the bread still got soggy. Anyone hi
It might not be the ice pack, but the sandwich ingredients. Try lightly toasting the breqad and spread with butter. Then add the meat, cheese, what ever. If you have tomato, don't put it in the sandwich but in a separate bag. Then bag the sandwich in plastic or waxed paper.
The only time I had a similar problem was when the ice pack itself was leaking. Ice packs are filled with chemicals that might not be good to have around food. I threw mine away and bought another for only $1.
