The best lunch box can be deceptively hard to find. After more than two years of work-from-home life, packing lunch may be a long forgotten ritual—but a versatile adult lunch box refresh is now in order. This time around we’re ditching the brown bags, single-use plastics, and stale tupperware of yesteryear for much more chic, reusable food containers like colorful bento-style lunch boxes, cheerful tiffins, and elevated cloth sacks.
We hope that these 22 eco-minded food storage containers will help as you ease back into a familiar routine, and ultimately make your workday dining experience a bit more pleasurable—or at the very least, evoke a smidge of envy in your coworkers)—whether you’re looking to keep your hot food, well, hot or a safe space for the fruits of your meal prep labor. Ahead, our top picks for new lunch box options—some with high-quality designs and side pockets, and some of best budget picks for school lunches.
