Food containers

Which food container suits my everyday needs best?

From last night’s leftovers to today’s packed lunch and tomorrow’s prepped ingredients – the right food container makes life simpler, neater and a little less wasteful. Some have airtight lids that click firmly shut, keeping your food fresher for longer. Others are stackable and nest neatly inside each other when not in use – a small but mighty win for cupboard space. Whether you want something microwave-safe, freezer-friendly, dishwasher-proof (or all three), you’ll find containers to match your mealtime routines, whatever they look like. 

Which materials should I choose – plastic, glass or something else?

Plastic containers are lightweight, durable and ideal for day-to-day use. Some even come with bendy lids that are easier for small hands to open. Glass containers and metal containers are great if you want something that feels sturdy and doubles as a serving dish – they go from oven to table without fuss. And for lighter snacks, a soft bag or roll-up silicone pouch might be all you need. Mixing and matching materials across your food storage is a smart way to get the benefits of each – practical, flexible and easy to fit around your life. 

Our range of food containers, food boxes and lunch boxes is made to help you waste less, store more and carry it all with confidence. Whether you’re prepping meals for the week ahead or just want to keep half a lemon from drying out, we’ve got smart solutions in every shape and size.

What’s the difference between food boxes, lunch boxes and other storage types?

It mostly comes down to shape, size and how you plan to use them. Food boxes are the all-rounders – great for keeping dry goods tidy in the cupboard or storing portions in the fridge. Lunch boxes are designed to move with you. Think leak-resistant lids, handy compartments, even built-in cutlery – all to make lunch on-the-go feel just as satisfying as lunch at home. Then there are the multi-piece sets made for bulk batchers or big families. Transparent lids and bases make it easy to see what’s what. No more mystery meals. 

A food container for every need

With dozens of endlessly useful styles to choose from, find the perfect food containers for a wide variety of uses and needs. Some of our favourites include:

• Storage for leftovers that can be easily reheated. Stop wasting food by letting it go unnoticed in a ball of foil. Choose clear glass food containers and keep them toward the front of the fridge for better visibility.
• Lunch boxes. With a variety of sizes to choose from, we have every family member and appetite size covered.
• Snack containers for on-the-go kids and adults. Keeping a healthy snack on hand makes the vending machine less tempting and helps keep your energy up until your next meal. Consider lightweight and shatterproof plastic containers for snacks for little ones.
• Food containers for meal prepping. Preparing large batches of food for the week or month ahead has become more common in recent years, helping people stay on track with their nutritional needs without necessitating they fire up the oven every day. Our extensive food container selection includes sizes ideal as a breakfast, dinner, or lunch container. You can also try your hand at popular overnight oats, chia pudding or salads.
• Storage containers for snacks and pantry essentials. Why dream of having a perfectly organised fridge or pantry like you see on social media when you can make it a reality? In addition to the aesthetic appeal of clear food containers, they also make it easier to see what you already have, discouraging buying things you didn’t need and reducing the chances your food will go bad because you forgot about it.
