Claussen Sandwich Slices – Crisp Dill Pickle Slices
Our Claussen Sandwich Slices are cut from premium cucumbers and cured using our signature cold-pack process in the refrigerated aisle. You get the same crisp snap and tangy dill flavor Claussen is known for, pre-sliced for sandwiches, burgers, and wraps.
Every jar is packed fresh—never heat-processed—so the cucumbers stay crunchy through the first bite and the last. These slices fit perfectly on buns and bread without overhang, and the brine is seasoned with garlic, dill, and spices for bold flavor in every slice.
- Cold-packed in the refrigerated aisle for maximum crunch
- Sliced to fit standard sandwich and burger buns
- Seasoned with garlic, dill seed, and spices
- No artificial flavors or preservatives
- Resealable jar for lasting freshness
Cold-Pack Freshness & Flavor
Claussen pickles are never heat-processed. We pack our sandwich slices fresh in a seasoned brine and keep them refrigerated from our facility to your fridge. That cold-pack method preserves the cucumber’s natural crunch and lets the garlic and dill seasonings penetrate every slice without turning them soft.
The result is a pickle that snaps when you bite it—no rubbery texture, no mushy edges. Whether you’re building a deli sandwich or topping a backyard burger, our sandwich slices deliver consistent flavor and texture from the first pickle to the last.
Sizing & Fit for Sandwiches
We cut these pickles to match the diameter of most sandwich buns and sliced bread. Each slice is approximately 3 inches across and ⅛ inch thick, so you get full coverage without excess overhang.
One or two slices per sandwich layer is usually enough. If you prefer extra tang, stack three slices without making the sandwich too thick to bite. The uniform thickness also means even brine distribution, so every slice tastes the same.
Ingredients & What’s Inside
Core Ingredients
Our sandwich slices start with fresh cucumbers, water, distilled vinegar, and salt. We add garlic, dill seed, calcium chloride for crispness, natural flavors, and polysorbate 80 to keep the spices blended. There are no artificial colors or preservatives—refrigeration does the preservation work.
Brine & Seasoning
The brine is tangy and slightly salty with a pronounced garlic note. Dill seed provides the classic pickle aroma. If you’re used to shelf-stable pickles, you’ll notice Claussen’s brine is lighter and less vinegar-forward, letting the cucumber flavor shine through.

Questions About Claussen Sandwich Slices
Yes, Claussen pickles are always refrigerated. We use a cold-pack process instead of heat pasteurization, so the pickles must be kept at 40°F or below from the store to your home. That’s what keeps them crisp and fresh.
Never leave the jar out at room temperature for more than an hour, especially after opening. Refrigeration is essential for both food safety and texture.
Our sandwich slices are approximately ⅛ inch thick, which is standard for most deli-style pickle chips. They’re thick enough to provide crunch and flavor but thin enough to layer multiple slices without making your sandwich too tall.
If you prefer thicker cuts, try our <a href=”/dill-pickles/claussen-dill-pickle-spears/”>dill pickle spears</a> and slice them yourself to your preferred thickness.
You can use them in cooked dishes, but heat will soften the crunch. They work great chopped into warm potato salad, stirred into tuna melts, or diced into hot dog relish, but the texture won’t be as crisp as when served cold.
For maximum crunch, add them to sandwiches, burgers, wraps, or salads without heating. If you’re making fried pickles, use whole pickles or spears instead of pre-sliced chips for better structure.
Yes, Claussen pickles are naturally gluten-free and contain no artificial preservatives or colors. The ingredient list is simple: cucumbers, water, vinegar, salt, garlic, dill seed, calcium chloride, natural flavors, and polysorbate 80.
They’re also low-calorie, low-carb, and vegan. If you have specific allergen concerns, check the label on your jar for the most current ingredient information.
Claussen Sandwich Slices are dill pickles—tangy, garlicky, and savory. Our Bread & Butter Chips are sweet pickles with a hint of onion and a milder, sweeter brine.
If you like bold, classic dill flavor for burgers and deli sandwiches, choose Sandwich Slices. If you prefer a sweet-tangy profile for ham sandwiches, potato salad, or Southern-style cooking, go with Bread & Butter Chips.
Once opened, the jar will stay fresh for several weeks if kept refrigerated and tightly sealed. The pickles should remain submerged in brine to maintain their crunch.
If you notice the brine level dropping, you can add a small amount of cold water and a pinch of salt to keep the slices covered. As long as the pickles smell fresh and the brine is clear, they’re good to eat.
Claussen pickles are sold in the refrigerated section of most major grocery stores, usually near the deli or dairy cases. Look for our jars in 20 oz and 26 oz sizes.
If your local store doesn’t carry Sandwich Slices, ask the store manager to stock them or check nearby retailers. You can also use our store locator online to find Claussen products near you.
