THE DELUXE

PlanetBox Rover

This bento-style box comes with all the bells and whistles: five separate compartments, two dipping containers, a fork and spoon, an ice pack and even a colorful carrying case with a handle and pockets to hold any extras.

PRO: Large and small containers fit inside the box and allow you to easily transport wet ingredients, such as dressings and dips.
CON: Compartments are on the small side, so if you tend to pack big lunches, you’ll have to upgrade to the larger size.

THE SPACE SAVER
E

Eco Vessel Collapsible Double Compartment Silicone Lunch Box Food Container 6 Cups

With two generous compartments and a snap-
in double-ended “spork” (a spoon on one end and fork on the other), this container has all the benefits of a good-size lunch box but collapses down to fit easily into any drawer or container. It’s also freezer-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
PRO: Collapses down to just 2 inches tall.
CON: The lid can be a bit finicky to snap on.

PRO: Durable stainless steel can hold up well even when banged around.
CON: The box wasn’t designed to transport liquids.
