The idea addresses two common problems with portable sandwiches: they often get squished during transport and spoil quickly. This creates frustration for people who need reliable, ready-to-eat meals that stay fresh - from office workers to campers to emergency preparedness households.
One approach could involve preserving sandwiches by encasing them in gelatin within sealed aluminum containers. This would combine food science with durable packaging to create sandwiches that stay intact and edible for much longer than normal. The process might involve:
Initial varieties could include classic options like ham and cheese, with potential to expand based on consumer demand.
This concept could serve multiple markets where food durability matters:
A simpler version could first test the concept with shorter preservation times (3-6 months instead of 5 years) to validate consumer acceptance. This MVP approach would allow for gathering feedback before investing in more advanced preservation technology. Initial production could focus on one sandwich variety through limited retail channels while developing the full product line.
The concept sits between existing options like military MREs and fresh deli sandwiches, potentially creating a new category of portable meals that combine convenience with extended durability.
