What is a Lunch Box
Nowadays the rhythm of life is very intense and we often don't spend enough time and attention on our nutrition. So instead of enjoying delicious and healthy food, we eat snacks on-the-go or go to fast food restaurants. However, this may adversely affect our health. That's why we ask you - what could be more nutritious than a lunch prepared at home? Nothing! And what should we do if we work from 8 till 8? The answer is simple - lunchbox or even lunchboxes! Lunchbox is a container for storage and transportation of food. It is an excellent solution for office workers because nothing can be so uplifting as enjoying healthy food prepared at home with care and love. No more of those awful brown paper bags! You can easily take lunch box wherever you want, for a work, picnic, trip. Lunch boxes are also very useful if you have kids as you can put there the food your picky child likes and have a piece of mind that your little one is well-fed. And, finally, one more big advantage is that you’re saving a load of money by packing lunch for your family!

What Features to Compare
If you're on the fence about which lunch bag box to order, we are here to help you!
Capacity
To select a suitable lunchbox, first you should determine its capacity. If you are looking for the one to pack your kid's school lunches, then you need a light model with relatively small capacity. In the case you need an adult lunchbox, remember that it must hold a pretty big portion for the full satisfaction of hunger. Note that if the lunchbox has only one compartment, you will be able to put only one dish. However, in this case, it is impossible to vary the menu or load entree with dessert. Hence, only models with several compartments will be very convenient for these purposes. They allow storing or transportation of several dishes, for example, they can easily accommodate entree, salad, dip, and dessert. You can be sure - nothing will mix together or get squashed. With the lunchbox, your meal will never be the same!
Material
Material is also an important factor to consider. The lunch container has to be safe for health and no way release toxic phthalates. If the box is made of quality materials, the stored food won't absorb odors, as can happen with a low-quality lunchbox. Nowadays you can come across plastic, glass, and even metal models. However, the most widespread are plastic boxes as they have a number of advantages. Firstly, plastic is very durable, lightweight, and reliable. Secondly, plastic lunchboxes can have a variety of shapes and designs. And thirdly, if heated or cooled, they will not deform, which is extremely important. All we know that bright good-looking lunchbox will encourage preschoolers or primary-schoolers to eat more. Also, the material affects the probability of heating food in a microwave oven, and here it's important to know that not all the boxes are resistant to changes in temperature. Another advantage would be if the lunchbox is not transparent since such a container will prevent the ingress of direct sunlight, which in its turn will extend the food storage life. As a result, the lunch will be fresh and delicious as if just cooked!
Conveniences
When choosing a lunchbox, also note the conveniences since its exploitation and transportation should not cause any difficulties for you or your child. If the lid is sealed, it will allow packaging not only dry food. For example, you can put a yogurt or applesauce not worrying about leakage. The presence of the seal under the lid excludes mixing of different dishes, located in the different lunchbox compartments. Since all children are extremely active, rubberized casing adds strength, reliability and, as a result, prolong its lifespan. Various extras like handles, latches, shoulder straps significantly simplify usage and transportation of a lunchbox. And the presence of additional bottles will provide you with an opportunity not only to eat a tasty lunch but also to drink fresh water or juice. Concerning cleanup, it will be wonderful if a box is dishwasher-safe as it will dramatically simplify the maintenance. Please note that children love turning casual dinner into a fascinating process, thus, different attractive illustrations will not only stimulate an appetite but also emphasize their individuality. Finally, when looking for a lunchbox, take into account its weight and size: a light and compact model is convenient to put in a backpack or a bag.
