LUNCH BAGS AND BOXES
INTRODUCTION:
When was the last time you brought lunch with you? Most likely, you stuffed a brown paper bag
inside your backpack and prayed that it wouldn’t rupture. Alternatively, perhaps your metal
Batman lunchbox shielded your meal from evil.
There are many reasons to bring your own lunch to work in a lunch box as an adult, even if you
probably aren’t having lunch with your buddies at a large cafeteria table anymore (if only). It
could be simpler to create something healthy at home than to discover nice choices close to the
workplace if you’ve made the resolution to eat healthier (or you’re attempting to reach your
macros). Perhaps you’re watching your spending because those $14 depressing desk salads add
up quickly. Or perhaps all you want to do is eat a home-cooked dinner in between appointments.
Since you last brown-bagged it, both your tastes and the packaging have likely evolved. You may
take your lunch in any variety of stylish, dapper, and appealing bags and boxes, including
insulated cloth totes, contemporary bento boxes, and simple glass containers. Therefore, choose
one and fill it with your favorite foods. Don’t forget to bring snacks. The dip around 3 o’clock is
brutal.
Anything but childish: These 12 Sleek Lunchboxes &
Bags for the Office
1. Zipper Lunch Bag in Fluf
The entire bag is machine washable in case of major spills and has a water-resistant liner for
simple cleaning. A water bottle or cold pack fits well in the internal pocket.
2. Black Lunch Tote with Neoprene
While keeping meals hot and cold, thick, resilient neoprene folds to nearly nothing when empty.
3. Lunchbox made of waxed canvas
This canvas tote gives a subtle reference to the classic brown bag, but despite its retro design, its
sturdy insulated walls won’t rip if you only consider packing a banana for lunch.
4. Insulated Lunch Bag in Waxed Canvas
Even with a PBJ and some Doritos inside, this waxed canvas bag with a leather buckle closing
declares, “I’m a professional grownup.” No one has to be aware.
5. Ceramic Lunch Bowl with Lid and Strap by W&P Porter
Reader of the Primer and regular commenter Browneagle44 offers this wise advice: “A greatlooking lunch doesn’t have to stop at the bag, though. I like Porter’s lunch bowl, and any of the
bags suggested would look fantastic with it.
6. Lunchbox of stainless steel, the Stanley Classic
One of the most durable lunchboxes on our list is this one made of stainless steel with a vintage
design. This bag has 10-quarts of room for a filling lunch, snacks, and a thermos or water bottle
without any flimsy zippers and just tough steel locks and hinges.
7. Upright lunch bag by the Fulton Bag Co
In the frequently packed workplace fridge, a striking plaid pattern sticks out, and its crushresistant, space-saving construction will safeguard its priceless contents.
8. Insulated meal prep bag cooler by Rockland Guard
This is a food planner’s best friend because it has enough room for lunch, snacks, and pre- and
post-workout beverages. Broseph, it will do anything but place you on the bench.
9. Benjamin Fresh
You need a bento box if you enjoy a variety of meals but detest them when they are jumbled
together. This straightforward box, which is divided into several compartments and has a
detachable divider, is leak-proof and surprisingly capacious.
10. BOX BRIGENIUS Bento
Don’t like plastic? No issue. This versatile, microwaveable box is constructed from wheat fiber
and comes with two organized utensils. Note that this box works better for dry items rather than
soups or thin liquids owing to the material.
11. Compartment Glass Meal Prep Containers by Prep Naturals
These glass containers are simple to maintain because they are safe for the microwave, oven,
and dishwasher. Additionally, they are already separated into three sections, which makes it
simple to manage quantities and keep your broccoli from touching your chicken (if that’s a
concern). For simple transport, the supplied cutlery clicks into the lid.
12. Daytrip Packable Lunch Bag from YETI
Your favorite cooler’s manufacturer also produces lunch bags. This one folds up compact for
storage and has insulation to keep soups warm and parfaits cold.
