The lunch box for your office lunch needs to fit the meal you're bringing and the space you have in your bag. A small container might be enough for a single portion; multiple compartments are useful when you want to keep your main course, side dish, and snack separate. Before choosing, compare the capacity, dimensions, and usage instructions for each model.
Start with capacity and dimensions
Milliliters indicate the volume of the container, but they don't tell the whole story: the shape also matters. Check the width, length, and height, especially if you use a compact bag. In the Salto catalog, the 600 ml single-compartment Magic Lunch Box measures 15 × 12.5 × 7 cm when open. The foldable body compresses after use to a height of 3.5 cm.
One compartment, two levels, or multiple separate portions?
A single compartment is simple to fill with a main dish. To separate foods, you can choose a divided container or a tiered model. The two-compartment Magic Lunch Box has a total capacity of 1 liter, divided into 650 and 350 ml, and cutlery integrated into the lid. The green two-tiered lunch box, on the other hand, offers two containers of 400 and 500 ml, for a total of 900 ml.
Internal division helps organize your meal, but it should not automatically be considered a guarantee against leaks. For transporting liquids, check the specific product and packaging indications.
Compare materials and care instructions
The catalog includes foldable silicone bodies, plastic models, and a 1,200 ml stainless steel container. Do not apply the same instructions to all: compatibility with microwaves, freezers, and dishwashers depends on the material and individual components. Always consult the product sheet and packaging instructions, including those for the lid and cutlery.
Organize your drink and accessories too
Check if cutlery is included, how the empty container is stored, and which water bottle fits comfortably in your bag. If you prefer a coordinated look, the BentoBox sets include a lunch box, water bottle, fork, and spoon; the lunch box collection allows you to choose your lunch container separately.
To get started, compare two or three models using the same checklist: capacity, footprint, number of compartments, included items, and maintenance. You can find lunch boxes and water bottles in the On the Go collection, with the features and availability of each item.
