While you can keep them in an airtight container, my recommendation would be to tightly wrap them in plastic wrap to best preserve them. To have these sandwiches the next day, they best experience is it remove the chill from the sandwich and warm the bread until lightly toasted. Unwrap the sandwiches from the plastic wrap and place on a hot non-stick pan with a touch of butter or oil. Gently heat until the bread is warmed through and optionally, to get an amazing crust, press lightly with a burger press as the sandwich warms up.
