Elephant Box (Stainless Steel Lunch Boxes)

Elephant Box is a quality brand of lunch boxes, roomy enough for all your eats and snacks from sandwiches to meals. In a wide range of designs, one investment saves wasteful purchase of disposable clingfilm sandwich bags (nurdles end up in our seas, which are eaten by marine creatures who think they are fish food).

Do not use for children under 36 months, due to small parts which could be choking hazards. Steel lunchboxes are not microwave-safe (never heat baby or pet food in microwaves). Read our post on food safety for people and pets.

The range is mostly stainless steel, from small lunch pots to large boxes with clip lids, and there is also a range of small stylish toughened glass bowls with stainless steel lids and removable silicone sleeves for easy handling.

Unlike plastic, these won’t stain with food and are easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher (obviously don’t put metal in the microwave, but they are freezer-safe.

The soft silicone lids nest together when not in use, and the boxes are easy to open and close for children. Responsibly-made in China, they are sold with a 15-year guarantee and a portion of sales benefit environmental non-profits.

You can also buy a spork to eat your lunch with, which is sold in a handy cork carry sleeve (no trees are cut down to strip cork bark from trees).
