Kids Bento Box

Unveiling the Magic of Kids Bento Lunch Boxes

Are you on the hunt for the perfect kids bento box or maybe a bento lunch box suitable for adults too? As school seasons come around, every parent understands the importance of a reliable lunch box. The bento box trend has taken over school cafeterias and office break rooms, and for a good reason. These are not just ordinary lunch boxes, they are innovative bento lunch boxes that ensure your child's school lunches remain appetising.

One of the notable features of a standard bento box is its multiple compartments. You can pack a whole sandwich on one side and still have room for wet foods without worrying about leaks. Thanks to the leak proof design and silicone seal, your child can enjoy a variety of different foods without worrying about things getting mixed up or touching. Some models even come with a special compartment for dips, making lunchtime a treat.

Why Choose Bento Lunch Boxes?

A bento box is not just a lunch box. It's a game changer in the way we pack school lunches. With bento lunch boxes, you can provide a balanced diet, including yoghurt and sauces without any spills. The compartments in bento boxes ensure that food doesn't touch. This is perfect for kids who are picky about their sandwiches touching their fruit or dips.

Parents are also considering bento lunchbox options due to their safety features. Most of these lunch solutions are PVC free" and phthalate free, ensuring that your child's food stays fresh and uncontaminated. The Yumbox range is dishwasher safe, and cleaning is a breeze.

Bento Boxes: Not Just for Kids

If you thought bento lunch boxes were only for kids, think again. Adults are hopping onto the bento lunchbox trend too. The perfect size compartments ensure that adults get a balanced diet, making them ideal for those long days at work or even picnics.

The bento lunch box is an innovative way to pack lunches for kids and adults alike. This unique lunch box design originated in Japan but has rapidly become a favourite across the globe. Unlike the traditional lunch box, a bento box is compartmentalised, allowing different foods to be stored separately, making lunchtime a vibrant and varied experience.

What to Consider When Shopping for a Bento Lunch Box

When you shop for a bento box, you'll be met with a huge range of options. From stainless steel models to those with an insulated bag, the choices can be overwhelming. Coming in an array of colours including vibrant green or pink, there's a style and colour to appeal to most tastes. Do you need an additional drink bottle compartment or a specific tray for sandwiches? The Yumbox range offers these features and more.

Understanding the Bento Phenomenon

In the vast market of lunch boxes, bento lunch boxes have found themselves to be a reliable and preferred choice for adults and kids alike. With their multiple compartments, leak proof designs, and the capacity to keep wet foods like yoghurt and dips separate from sandwiches and biscuits the Yumbox range is unmatched. Lunchtime should be fun, so choose a box that your child or you would love!

  Answer: Absolutely! All our bento lunch boxes are made from food-safe materials, BPA-free, and phthalates-free, ensuring your child's safety. We prioritise durability and safety in all our products.

• Question: What's the difference between a bento box and a lunch box
  
  Answer: Often a bento box will be shallower than a traditional lunchbox, and contain lots of small compartments within (sometimes they can be repositioned while in others they are secured). A lunch box, on the other hand, is more likely to be deeper and not have any specific compartments inside which means, for example, you can fit a whole sandwich inside without having to cut it. Although a bento box can function as a type of lunch box, hence the term bento lunchbox!
