depends what you put in them, tomato would go soggy. I make chicken rolls - like asparagus but chicken mixed with mayo and I make them night before and they are fine covered with gladwrap and a damp muslin in the fridge. you could always just get everything ready tonight and whip them up in the morning if your worried.

Avoid any wet fillings, definitely not tomato. my advice would be as senior bones, to prepare all your fillings overnight and maybe even pre-butter the bread and stack back in your bread bags, keeping airtight,(not in fridge it will go hard) then the next day you are ready to go. As I mentioned in another thread a fast way and an alternate option is to make rolls (as in asparagus type rolls) using different fillings i.e ham cream cheese, frilly lettuce, chicken, frilly lettuce& mayo, just roll corner to corner. If you are making sandwiches and storing them the damp cloth (damp not sopping wet) over the glad wrap is ok, but I prefer the damp cloth over the sandwiches and then cover the entire plate with one of the plastic food covers.(the ones that look like showercaps). Good luck.

PS to make sammies in a hurry an electric knife is a must! will always give you the perfect no squash cut.

how many are you taking... because I can do a loaf of bread into asparagus rolls in fifteen minutes... so if you have your fillings ready, they don't take long to make up, if you can turn your kitchen into a production line.
