Product Details
Single box: 3.25"H x 3.25"W x 7"D
Volume: 2 cups per box
Design and Functionality
Each box has adjustable inner compartments. You can stack the boxes as is, or you can leave the lid off the bottom one for a more compact lunch kit. To carry a single box, just flip the stretchy band the other direction to keep it secure. The innovative, Gel-Cool lid keeps food cool for 3-4 hours, so you can pack a lunch in the morning and still enjoy cold foods at lunch. Just put the lid in the freezer overnight (it doesn’t take up much space!) and it will be ready to pack by morning. Small compartments are great for packing fruits, vegetables or other bulk foods. A pliable separator layer creates a tighter seal.
Materials
Lid with Gel-Cool system made of ABS plastic Bottom made of polypropylene plastic
Sustainability
According to the New York State Department of Conservation, parents who pack a child's lunch in disposable bags or containers generate 45 to 90 pounds of garbage every year. That equates to 18,760 pounds of lunch waste for just one average-size elementary school. Because you can buy in bulk, you’ll save on the money and wasteful packaging from pre-packaged foods.

loving the concept

the bento box is ingenious. the little separators for the compartments are movable, and the lid is easy for my 5 year old to open. she needs help to place the garter string back though. i bought 2 sets = 4 separate boxes. i can choose one box per day or two, to include snacks. i use the garter to strap her utensils on the box for practicality. just remember, it is not liquid tight. easy to clean. great design. am very happy with it.

best lunch container i have EVER had

I absolutely LOVE this 2-tier bento box! i use it every day for work and to bring lunches to the park. the super-durable strap stays in place really well to hold one closed and holding both together. i'm actually thinking about getting another one simply because i use them as storage containers also. the movable dividers really do well keeping everything separated, too! i often pack a more Mexican food style lunch of bean dip, lettuce, salsa, tomatoes and lime and it keeps all the ingredients from leaking into the others, even the salsa! this thing is fantastic, i don't have a single complaint and i recommend it for anyone.

I use it for my 3-yr-old's lunches and the cold lid works great keeping it cool. Great quality product. I can fit her entire lunch into one box, so I usually only use one per day. Her preschool teacher thought it was great.

I Only Wish It Came In More Sizes...

I have really enjoyed using this product. I love how it can make cold foods colder and keep hot foods hot. I actually use this product the most when I am going to Sunday School before church. I make my oatmeal, place it in a container and enjoy breakfast in "School" before the main service. This has been valuable because now I do not get hungry during the services. My only suggestion is to watch these boxes when you have something with oils or certain liquids in them as I have had one accident...nothing major. A great investment...I look forward to seeing more options for this product.

Love, love, love..the size is perfect for the kids or myself, and the inner lid that you freeze and insert to keep things cool is a great idea.

Super cute, not super usable
1 out of 2 customers found this review helpful
I ordered the pink and white set and love the colors! The problem I have is that they don't seal properly; the elastic band is the only thing that holds the containers together. This problem reduces it's uses for me. It means that I can really only carry dry foods, so no pastas, soups, or anything saucy or liquid. And thought the elastic is good, it's not very strong, so the lids can and do move. I do like the option of adjusting the inner compartments. Definitely a plus. And I love that I can freeze the lid as it does keep foods cold, but not as long as I had hoped, effectively about 3 hours, which doesn't quite reach my lunch time. I'd be much happier with this bento box if it were half as expensive.

Great design, easy to carry
The size is perfect and the design makes it easy to carry or fit in a school bag. Love the adjustable divider. Only downside for us was in Summer it didn't keep the contents cool enough until lunch time. Will definitely use through Winter.

Love this product. I've been looking for a smallish, insulated bento container to carry snacks for my daughter. I wanted to be able to throw the container in my baby bag without using an additional insulated bag to keep it cool. It's perfect, keeps the food cool for a few hours and it's so far leak free.

This is a wonderful product!! My fiance and I have been searching for the perfect product that we can use to take leftovers home from restaurants and this is it! They aren't too terribly large, so I can just put it in my purse when we head to a restaurant (or just take one of the sections and leave the other at home). It has little separaters inside just like a to-go container would to keep salad separate from a sandwich for example. I haven't even used the cooling feature yet, but I know that is going to come in handy bringing snacks to the beach this summer!
