    Yumbox is the original kid-friendly, leak-proof, bento-style lunch box — perfect for healthy, fun and delicious food. With a Yumbox lunch box, it’s never been easier to answer “muuuum, did you pack my lunch?”

     

    At Mini Hippo, we were the first to bring the leak-proof Yumbox to Australia. Today, we’re leading Yumbox stockists with a delicious product range — with Yumbox Original, Yumbox Panino, Yumbox Tapas, Yumbox Mini Snack and more — you’ll find something for all ages.

    All Yumbox lunch boxes are durable and non-toxic, free from BPA, phthalates and PVC. Replacement parts are also available to make your Yumbox last even longer.

    How do I clean my Yumbox?

    If you love your Yumbox, it’ll love you back.

    Here’s how to clean it:

    Yumbox is designed with rounded edges and smooth surfaces to make hand washing easy. But if you prefer to use a dishwasher, Yumbox is dishwasher safe up to 65°C (top rack only). In saying that, we highly recommend hand washing the outer shell (or if using a dishwasher removing it before the heat dry cycle). The temperatures of most dishwashers are a guide only (actual temperatures can fluctuate by up to 20°C).

    After washing, air-dry thoroughly in an open position, particularly if it’s not in use for long periods. We recommend using your own judgment when deciding whether to microwave any plastic components.

    Yumbox Aqua Insulated Drink Bottles require hand washing only.

    How eco-friendly is Yumbox and can I recycle it?

    We love Yumbox because it helps reduce plastic waste. Yumbox is also made from high quality materials, meaning it will last across multiple years and kids. While it’s not perfect (it still requires plastic manufacturing) it’s a whole lot better than single-use alternatives. All materials are food-safe, BPA free and phthalate free. Yumbox is also CPSIA and FDA compliant.

    The outer case of Yumbox can be placed in kerbside recycling. The silicone seal and tritan tray can be recycled through a specialised facility (recycling practices can vary between states and countries, so speak to your local council for details).

    Where does Yumbox come from?

    Yumbox is designed in USA and France and manufactured in China. Mini Hippo Imports (also known as Yumbox Australia) is the Authorised Distributor of Yumbox in Australia and New Zealand. We were the first leak-proof, Yumbox Australia stockist.

    Do you have Yumbox replacement parts?

    We want your Yumbox product to last for as long as possible, and across multiple kids. That’s why we have a replacement parts section where you can purchase a Yumbox latch or spare tray.

    Is Yumbox thermal or insulating?

    Most Yumbox products don’t have thermal or insulating properties. If you’re adding food like yoghurt, which should be kept cold, we recommend packing your Yumbox in an insulated bag with an ice pack to keep the contents cool. We recommend Arctic Zone.

    In saying that, there are two Yumbox products that have insulated properties:

    Yumbox Zuppa is a triple insulated stainless steel thermal food jar.

    Yumbox Aqua is a triple insulated stainless steel drink bottle.

    How do I carry Yumbox?

    A Yumbox is compact and comfortably fits into most insulated lunch boxes. Check out our store.

    What age is Yumbox suitable for?

    The Yumbox Original was designed for children from 0-10 years old. Buuuut that’s not to say adults can’t use it — we love getting feedback from adults about their fancy work lunches.

    The Yumbox Panino is designed for kids through to adults. It’s fantastic for sandwich eaters, as it fits a full-size sandwich (crust and all). Alternatively, as an adult’s lunch, a hearty salad or leftovers from the night before is perfect in the 2-cup section (along with snacks in the two smaller sides, because who doesn’t love snacks?)

    The Yumbox Zuppa Insulated Jar and Yumbox Aqua Insulated Drink Bottle are suitable for all ages.

    Yumbox Tapas, with its innovative 4 and 5 compartment interchangeable trays, is designed for adults and teenagers alike (or growing kids that love larger portions!)

    Yumbox Presto is designed for kids through to adults. The 5 compartment design is incredibly versatile, perfect for work, school, sports or travel.

    The MiniSnack is, well, for mini snacks. Many customers use MiniSnack for their kid’s playtime and an Original or Panino for lunchtime. Both can fit snuggly into an insulated bag with an ice pack. Simple!
