Cool bags

Take your favourites anywhere with IKEA cool bags

Cold drinks by the lake, fresh snacks in the park, or chilled groceries on the way home? Easy. IKEA cool bags help keep food and drinks cool almost anywhere. They protect perishable items from heat, turn summer outings into pure enjoyment and help drinks and ice cubes stay cold for longer. Tip: combined with a matching ice pack, the cooling time is extended even further – ideal for your next road trip or whenever you are out and about for a few extra hours.

The key features and benefits of our cool bags and ice packs:

• Flexible use: Cool bags are ideal for picnics, outings, grocery shopping or travel. They keep food and drinks fresh and chilled when you are on the move.
• Effective insulation: Special insulating materials help keep things cool for several hours; depending on the model around 2–4 hours, and even longer with ice packs.
• Versatility: Bags with several compartments, mesh pockets or slip‑in pockets allow you to separate hot and cold foods and keep everything neatly organised.
• Design: Practical and good‑looking – our small and large cool bags come in attractive, everyday‑friendly designs.
• Easy to carry: All models are lightweight, handy and offer comfortable carrying options such as straps, shoulder handles or grab handles – perfect when you are out and about.
• Robust, easy‑care materials: Made from durable, often recycled polyester or polypropylene, our cool bags are easy to look after and in some cases even water‑resistant.
• More sustainability is cool: Most cool bags are made with a high share of recycled materials and can be recycled again where facilities exist.
• Practical extras: With affordable ice packs from IKEA, you can upgrade any cool bag or extend its cooling time significantly; the packs also work in regular bags or baskets.

Whether you fancy an ice cream by the lake or want to keep the cold chain intact for foods like fish or meat, here you can find cool bags and ice packs that are ready to go wherever you are.

Small and large cool bags for everyday life

Our smaller insulated bags are made for trips to the lake or spontaneous picnics. There is plenty of room for chilled drinks, ice cream and more. Thanks to their shape, you can also use a mini cool bag as a stylish little cool box. That way, your compact insulated bag becomes the centrepiece of unforgettable moments with your favourite people. Larger cool and freezer bags, on the other hand, have space for everything you want to take on longer journeys or pack during a bigger shop. From frozen foods and cold drinks to cold packs for sports: there is room for everything that matters.

Ice packs: low‑maintenance cooling elements that extend chill time

Planning to take your cool bag to the beach? Great idea – IKEA cool and freezer bags keep food and more cold for around two to four hours. Need longer? You can pick up ice packs from us that boost the performance of your insulated bag – and that can also be used in any regular bag. If you want to turn a backpack or a standard shopping bag into a makeshift cool bag, our cooling elements are a smart solution. They are also dishwasher‑safe, so they are hygienically clean and ready to use again in no time.

From compact cool bags to full food storage solutions

Food waste is a big topic. Many foods spoil quickly – or at least become unappetising – if they are not kept cool or stored properly. That’s why, alongside cool bags and ice packs, you will also find everything you need for proper food storage with us. This includes our fridges and freezers of course, as well as shelving and kitchen cabinets for your pantry, spice jars plus storage bags and lidded boxes for opened items. The result: a well‑organised kitchen and pantry that helps reduce food waste and gives you lots of inspiration for tasty meals and snacks every day.
