Lunchboxes

From sandwiches and rolls to fresh pieces of fruit and healthy veggie snacks, a green lunch box makes taking everything to school a breeze while keeping food wonderfully fresh! At ilovespeelgoed.nl, you'll find lunchboxes, snack boxes, and bento boxes that are both functional and visually appealing. There is a suitable and fitting kids' lunch box for every school day, picnic, or day out.

What types of lunchboxes are there?

Whether you're looking for a lunch box for sandwiches or a small container for a snack, there is a matching box for every occasion.
You also have plenty of choice in color, design, and material. Pick a cheerful lunch box with animals for sandwiches, or go for a handy stainless steel bento box to bring along little bites.
The best-known lunch box is the single-compartment lunch box. These are ideal for bringing a sandwich or a piece of fruit. The lunchboxes feature different closures: some close with an elastic band, while others have a tab on the lid that clicks open. This lets you choose one that opens easily, even for little hands. You'll also find stainless steel lunchboxes, bento boxes, and snack containers. So what sets them apart?

Stainless steel lunchboxes

For a long-lasting and eco-friendly option, there is the stainless steel lunch box. These lunchboxes are crafted from stainless steel, so they last extra long. Not only are these lunchboxes sturdy, they also resist scratches, damage, and discoloration, staying looking great for a long time. They are also free from harmful substances and preserve the taste and freshness of the food.

Bento boxes

Prefer veggies, wraps, dips, and small bites over sandwiches? Then a bento box is a great choice. Inspired by the Japanese word for lunch box, these lunchboxes feature multiple compartments. A common layout is one large compartment paired with two smaller ones. The large section offers plenty of room for a sandwich or a delicious wrap. You can fill the two small compartments with snacks, small fruit, or a piece of candy. Thanks to this handy layout, a bento lunch box gives you plenty of room to pack a varied meal. A bento box is also great for bringing snacks on a day trip or to a picnic.

Some bento boxes have compartments, while others feature different layers. There are also stainless steel versions of the bento lunch box for extra sturdiness. The Yumbox bento boxes feature a leakproof tray, so you can bring along some yogurt or a dipping sauce too. With bento lunchboxes, you pack a nutritious, varied meal, and the colorful designs turn lunchtime into a real party.

Snack containers

For smaller appetites, there are handy snack containers. Healthy snacks like nuts, vegetables, or fruit fit right inside for a tasty treat between meals. Because snack containers are compact, they fit right inside some lunchboxes. They barely take up any room in a school bag while keeping snacks fresh. Their size makes these snack boxes ideal for taking fruit to preschool.

Several snack containers come in a set of different sizes, so you always have the right fit on hand. Only bringing a few candies? A small snack container does the trick. Rather pack a bigger fruit salad? Simply grab the larger container.

Lunch box sets

Go for a lunch box set for more room and variety in your snacks and lunch. In some sets, each container has a different size, so there is always one that fits your snack. Other sets feature containers of the same size, which is ideal when you want to bring several snacks and keep them separate.

Lunchboxes for every taste

Lunchboxes come in all colors of the rainbow and in countless cheerful designs. There is always something to match every taste and imagination. You'll find pink lunchboxes with princesses, a beige lunch box with sweet animals, or a lunch box with rainbows. Other favorites include a green lunch box with dinosaurs, a blue one with pirates, or even a lunch box with race cars. There is also plenty to discover for kids who love unicorns, jungle adventures, or space themes. Whether you love glitter or a minimalist look, there is a matching lunch box for every school bag and backpack.

How do I choose the best lunch box?

Choosing a suitable lunch box depends on a child's daily needs. That's why there are different types for every bite:
- A lunch box with a single compartment is great for a sandwich or a fresh salad. Prefer a variety of snacks for lunch? Go for a lunch box with two or more compartments: the bento box.
- On a day out or inside a bag, a leakproof lunch box is key. Choose a lunch box with a leakproof silicone seal, for example.
- Looking for a lunch box that is easy to clean? Multi-layer lunchboxes are very handy, as you can wash each piece individually. Or pick a dishwasher-safe lunch box.

Handy for school, on the go, or on a day out

A kids' lunch box needs to take a bump or two, since it travels in a bag every day. For school, boxes with a click lid or a simple closure system are ideal, letting little hands open the box all by themselves. On the go, multiple compartments in the lunch box come in handy, keeping fruit, cookies, and a sandwich separate. You can also check whether the lunch box is dishwasher-safe, a welcome bonus after a long school day!

Frequently asked questions about lunchboxes

Every lunch box has its own features. One has a single compartment, while another has several. One closes with clips and another has a silicone lid. Below are the most common questions about lunch box features.

Which lunchboxes are unbreakable?

Looking for a sturdy lunch box? Choose a stainless steel lunch box. They are sturdy, keep their color, hold no odors, and can often go right in the dishwasher. Plastic lunchboxes are also often sturdy and can take a bump or two.

Are the lunchboxes leakproof?

Each lunch box handles liquids differently, and it often depends on what kind of liquid you want to bring. Some lunchboxes are suitable for transporting hummus or other dips, while thin liquids require a tighter seal. Always check the product description of your chosen lunch box. Lunchboxes with a silicone seal in the lid are often watertight, making them suitable for bringing things like yogurt.

Is a lunch box microwave-safe?

Whether a lunch box can go in the microwave varies per model. The material plays a big role here, and many plastic lunchboxes are meant for cold use only. Always check the care instructions for each lunch box.
