Which Lunchbox Is Right for Your Child?

Investing in new lunchboxes for the upcoming term but not sure what size or type will suit your child best?

We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re packing snacks for little ones or full lunches for teens, the Elephant Box range of stainless steel lunchboxes is designed to grow with your family. All of them are free from toxins, naturally antibacterial, and built to last for years of school runs, field trips, and messy backpacks.

🧒 For Younger Kids or Smaller Appetites

We’re big fans of bento-style lunchboxes for younger children. Not only do they help you pack a fun variety of foods, but they’re perfect for kids who don’t like different foods touching. And let’s face it—nobody loves a soggy sandwich or squished grapes!

Our top pick: Three-in-One Snackbox

• Three sections: two stackable layers + a mini snack pod
• Great for packing variety in manageable portions
• Ideal for nursery, reception, and early primary school years

👦 For Older Kids

As kids get bigger (and hungrier), they’ll appreciate a bit more space—and style. Our Clip & Seal lunchboxes are perfect for older children, tweens, and teens. Leakproof, sleek, and bento-ready, they’re made for packed lunches that look good and stay fresh.

Choose your size:

• Clip & Seal Small – 800ml
• Clip & Seal Medium – 1.2L

Features:

• Movable dividers for flexible bento-style packing
• Leakproof seal + green silicone band for extra security
• Embossed elephant logo & durable brushed steel finish
• Fits our snack pots, mini snack pods, and dressing pots inside

🥪 For Big Lunches or Longer Days

When only a “proper” packed lunch will do, reach for the classic. The Original Elephant Box is our largest lunchbox and a firm favourite for big appetites, sporty days, or double shifts.

• Massive 2-litre capacity
• Space for sandwiches, snacks, fruit & more
• Timeless design & built to last

🎓 Off to College or Uni?

Kids all grown up and heading off to uni? They can take their favourite stainless steel kit with them—and get 15% off with Student Beans.

It’s a great way to help them stay organised, save money, and avoid single-use plastics on campus.
