Joseph Joseph GoEat Lunch Box

What’s not to love about a cleverly designed lunchbox that packs down perfectly when not in use? Space saving is a great feature of the Joseph Joseph GoEat range and fantastic for making room in already packed school bags. There are three different compartments too, which makes it easy to separate food and keep homemade lunches fresh throughout the day.

U-Konserve Rectangular Lunch Box Divider – Lime

We think that food tastes delicious out of a stainless steel container and think that you’d agree! So why not try this rectangular option from U-Konserve which also includes a nifty removable divider which makes it easy to separate food inside. Keep cut fruit away from your sandwich or dedicate one section to a salad and the other to snacks. The possibilities are endless! These rectangular containers are also available with an ocean or sky coloured lid and also fit snugly into a U-Konserve Insulated Lunch Sack.

Black+Blum’s Box Appetit – Bento Box

The perfect size for younger kids who have smaller school lunches. This little Bento Box is nice and compact but actually holds more than you think! We love that it comes with a handy little divider that lets you separate food, but also includes a fork and sauce pot that’s super useful for salad dressings, soy sauce or ketchup.
