Wrap-N-Mat
Stay-at-home mom of four, Bonnie Smith is the creator of Wrap-N-Mat. Wrap-N-Mat, Inc. (WNM) is the innovator of the reusable food wraps industry. Bonnie is a business graduate of Cal Poly University who sacrificed her career with Time Warner to raise her kids and support her now ex-husband's career growth.
Back in 1997, Bonnie and her family planned a hiking trip in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. While packing lunch she ran out of plastic sandwich bags so she improvised and grabbed a paper towel and masking tape. The concept worked great but the sandwiches were dry so she started cutting and sewing prototypes of wraps that could be reusable and effective. While the kids were in school or napping, she tried lots of shapes, materials and linings. Bonnie found using a food-safe plastic lining kept air out and the bread soft and moist over just using fabric alone. Ultimately the octagon shape worked best and provided a great placemat. No more worries of where they were going to place their sandwiches and cookies!
