Whether you eat leftovers every day or meal prep once a week (frozen veg balls to the rescue), start by making sure your lunch box covers the “little lifesaver” basics. We’re talking dishwasher-safe with leak-proof lids. Easy clean? No spills? Yes and yes.

Then consider your needs and routines. Want your foods separate? Look for removable inserts. Dreaming of crisp greens? A salad lunch box has a dressing container. Like to bake-and-freeze? Glass containers can go in the oven, too. Use the box colours to remind you what’s inside and which one’s yours. Ready, set, lunch!

We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
