A lunch box to suit your meal style

Lunch boxes save time and money, and they help you reduce food waste and keep an eye on what you eat.

Whether you eat leftovers every day or meal prep once a week (frozen veg balls to the rescue), start by making sure your lunch box covers the ‘little lifesaver’ basics. We’re talking dishwasher-safe with leak-proof lids. Easy clean? No spills? Yes and yes.

Then consider your needs and routines. Want your foods separate? Look for removable inserts. Dreaming of crisp greens? A salad lunch box has a dressing container. Like to bake-and-freeze? Glass containers can go in the oven, too. Use the box colours to remind you what’s inside and which one’s yours. Ready, set, lunch!
