Choosing the right lunch box or lunch bag

When it comes to selecting the right lunch box or lunch bag for yourself or your kids, these are a few types we recommend considering:

• Insulated Lunch Bags: if you don't have access to a fridge at work or are packing school lunches, consider an insulated lunch bag. These lunch bags can be stored in the fridge or freezer the night before with built-in thermal cooling properties and removable freezer packs. An insulated lunch bag will keep your food fresh for longer and prevent it spoiling from heat, especially on hot summer days. We have a range of suitable adult lunch bags as well playful designs for kids. 
  
  
• Airtight Lunch Boxes: ever spilled something in your bag or cleaned out your child's school bag after their left-over lunch has gone everywhere? You need an airtight food storage container, food flask or lunch box. These are great for storing soups and other liquid foods without worrying about spillage. 
  
  
• Bento Boxes: these have become increasingly popular over the years especially as we've become more mindful of balancing our kids' diets as well as our own. Bento boxes allow you to easily separate different types of food to stop them from getting soggy or spoiled. Available in a range of styles and compartment combinations, bento boxes also are fun to get creative with and ensure you pack a range of nutritious options- great for those on balanced diets or kids that are fussy eaters! We stock a range of adult bento boxes as well as fantastic kids' bento boxes with bright colours and printed designs. 
  
  
• Stainless Steel Lunch Boxes: a great plastic-free option for those that are environmentally conscious and want to avoid using plastic or need something more durable than glass lunch boxes. Many of our stainless steel lunch boxes are tight sealing so they won't leak, are hygienic and don't leach or react with foods.
