Which Kids' Lunch Box is Right for Your Child?

Why choose a stainless steel lunch box for kids?

Plastic lunch boxes crack, stain, and need replacing every term. Stainless steel doesn't. An Elephant Box kids' lunch box is made from food-grade 304 stainless steel — no BPA, no microplastics, nothing leaching into your child's food. They handle being thrown into school bags, dropped in the playground, and put through the dishwasher without complaint. Buy one and it'll last through primary school and beyond.

What age are these lunch boxes suitable for?

The range covers everything from toddlers and nursery age right through to older children and teenagers. Smaller, compact options work well for younger children with easy-open lids. Larger sizes suit older kids who need more food. For a full age-by-age guide, we've written a helpful post on the blog.

What is a bento lunch box?

A bento box is a lunch box with built-in sections or compartments, keeping different foods separate without extra bags or wrapping. They're popular for kids' lunches because you can pack a sandwich, fruit, snacks, and a dip all in one box without everything mixing together. Elephant Box compartment lunch boxes bring the bento concept to stainless steel — plastic-free and built to last.

Kids' Lunch Box FAQs

Stainless steel is an excellent material for carrying and storing food, making it particularly well suited to school lunchboxes. It is durable, easy to clean and does not absorb food odours or flavours. Stainless steel can be recycled repeatedly without significant loss of quality, and a well-made stainless steel lunchbox can last for many years. To read more about how stainless steel stacks up compared to plastic, glass and other materials — read our blog.

Almost all of our steel products are made from 304 or 18/8 grade steel. Other products are made of 204 grade steel: the Square Salad Box and the Mini Snack Pods — 204 grade steel is a bit more flexible than 304 grade which makes it easier to mold smaller items. Both are food-grade, toxin-free and safe for you and your family.

Yes, all our products are dishwasher safe (except the stainless steel water bottle caps). We know how important it is to be able to clean up a school lunchbox — especially if it's been sat forgotten in a school bag all weekend!

Not all of our lunchboxes are leakproof. The classic range of lunchboxes are made of just 100% stainless steel for minimum fuss and a retro feel. The Clip & Seal lunchboxes are leakproof and the whole Seal & Go range is leakproof — to see all our leakproof products click here.

Our lunchboxes are good for kids of all ages! To help choose the right lunchbox for your child we've written a guide here.

We offer a 15 year warranty on all our stainless steel lunchboxes and a 1 year warranty on our silicone and glass lids. Read more here. We are a small and friendly team — if you have any questions before you buy just get in touch and we will get right back to you. If any issues arise after purchase we will do our best to make it right.

The best kids' lunch box depends on your child's age and what you're packing. For a straightforward school lunch, the Original Elephant Box is our most popular all-rounder. If your child prefers their food kept separate, a bento-style compartment lunch box is ideal. For younger children or nursery, smaller sizes and snack pots work well alongside a main box.

Yes — our lunch boxes with compartments are our stainless steel take on the bento box. They keep different foods separate in one container — ideal for kids who don't want their sandwich touching their grapes. All stainless steel, no plastic where it matters.

Yes — stainless steel snack pots are part of the range and work well alongside a main lunch box. They're ideal for fruit, crackers, dips, or anything you want to keep separate from the main meal. Several products are also available as sets with a lunch box and matching snack pot included.

Yes — we have smaller sizes in the range suited to toddlers and nursery age. They're lightweight, easy to open, and simple to clean. If you're packing for a very young child, a small snack container alongside a compact lunch box is a good combination.

Under current UK advertising regulations we're not able to make general claims about products being "environmentally friendly" — so we won't. What we can tell you is that everything we make is built to last and designed to replace single-use plastic. For the full picture, read about our approach on our People & Planet page and our Commitments page.

Lunch boxes are designed for carrying food to school or on the go — compact, secure, and easy for children to open independently. Food storage containers are designed for the fridge, freezer, and kitchen prep at home. If you need containers for storing food rather than packed lunches, browse our stainless steel food storage containers.

We build our lunchboxes so their easy to use & ultra durable - perfect for kids of all ages.

Dishwasher safe & no hard to reach crevices - for all the lunchboxes that get left in the school bag!

We pack lunches every day, so we know what we're on about - everything we sell is real life tested.
