We’ve written about these boxes before for their ease of use and cleaning. They make packing healthy lunches a breeze, thanks to the three separate compartments. They pair perfectly with the Easy Lunchboxes Mini Dippers for extras like dipping sauce, condiments, and more. And these plastic lunch boxes fit perfectly inside an insulated bag for easy transportation.

We’vev used these lunch box containers for years.

The hard-sided containers mean no worries about sandwiches getting squished under the weight of everything in a kid’s backpack. It also keeps foods separate, so their crackers and cheese doesn’t get contaminated by applesauce or carrot slices. Three different sized compartments make packing a cinch for a variety of foods.

The lids of these boxes snap on securely but are easy for little hands to open.

But best of all, these lunch boxes offer plenty of staying power. We’ve used these lunch boxes since my oldest child was in preschool at age three. He will turn 13 in just a few weeks. That’s an entire decade of use, which comes out to a fraction of a cent. With three kids, we’ve packed lunches in them every day roughly five days a week for years.

You can see the missing corner on the yellow lid. All the other ones remain in excellent shape.

The only reason to buy more of these resilient lunch containers? Because you use three a day and don’t want to have to clean them every night. Over ten years, we’ve had the corner pull tab of one colored lid break off. That’s it. The rest of our twelve containers and lids remain in great shape. I imagine we could easily get another five to ten years of use out of them. And with kids that have five years or more of school to go, that’s a wonder.

If you want a lunch box that can take your child from preschool to college, look no further than these Easy Lunchboxes.
