I’m not the biggest fan of packing sandwiches for lunch, so my expertise ends with ham and cheese between two slices of bread. The school year just started and I’m tasked with making and packing food for my girlfriend and on some days she has lectures and exercises for 10 hours with breaks, so I need something that will keep well for a long time outside of the fridge. Can you give me some ideas on some extravagant combinations, techniques (for making and packaging), tips and tricks, etc? I want to become a sandwich school lunch aficionado.

Budget for the ingredients doesn’t matter (within reason) since I’m certain anything I make at home will still be cheaper than the food around/on campus. High effort recipes are very welcome, as long as I can split the cooking time between few day, for example it’s fine if one ingredient takes 3 days to make as long as the assembly time in the morning is still just a few minutes.

My location is Eastern Europe in case if that matters (so no recommending specific American brands, almost certainly I won’t find any of them in the store).

EDIT: If you know of any videos or articles about this, I’ll be glad to watch everything you share. But I do make the distinction between a packed sandwich and a regular sandwich - soggy bread soaking over 10 hours in a hot backpack is not as appetizing as slightly wet sandwich assembled seconds before serving.
