Steel. All the way to the lid.
The lunch box lid is steel, and so is the bottle cap. Almost every lunch box on the shelf closes with plastic.

A divider that earns its place
The 800 ml box comes with a removable divider. Sandwiches left, fruit right — without a second container in the bag.

Two materials. Both named.
Stainless steel and food-grade silicone. Every surface your food or water touches is 304 — the food-grade standard.

Survives the school bag
Dropped, thrown, stacked, forgotten. It doesn’t shatter and it doesn’t warp.

1 × Rectangular Stainless Steel Container 800 ml — 170 × 120 × 60 mm, with removable divider
1 × Stainless Steel Bottle 500 ml — Ø 70 × 220 mm

Material: 304 food-grade stainless steel on every surface your food and water touch, lid and bottle cap included. A food-grade silicone seal in the lid and a silicone ring in the cap. The bottle's outer shell is 201 steel and touches nothing you eat or drink. No plastic touches your food.
Leak resistance: Leak-resistant. A clip-locking lid with a food-grade silicone seal. We say resistant, not proof — the seal is a consumable, and we would rather you knew that than find out.

Wash before first use. Dishwasher safe. Remove the silicone seals occasionally and rinse separately. Dry thoroughly before storing. Not suitable for the microwave — here is how to heat food without one.

Order before 12:00 on a weekday and it leaves our warehouse the same day. Everything ships tracked, so you can see where it is. Delivery after that: 1–3 business days in the Netherlands, 3–7 in the rest of the EU.

School Start Duo packed in a school backpack — 800 ml lunch box and 500 ml steel bottle

Packed in thirty seconds

The Duo is the school morning, solved: the 800 ml box with its removable divider — bread on one side, fruit on the other — and the 500 ml bottle with its steel cap. Both fit in the bag before the coat is on. The lid clips shut for a leak-resistant seal; the box comes home, goes through the dishwasher and stands ready for tomorrow. One decision at the start of the school year. The rest is just packing.

Rectangular stainless steel lunch box in everyday use

A system that covers everything. Without thinking about it.

Batch cooking on Sunday. Leftovers on Monday. A snack in your bag on Tuesday. Our sets are built around the way people actually use containers — not the way they imagine they will. Sizes that stack, and two materials we name on the page.

The material

Two grades. Both named.

304 stainless steel

Every surface your food and water touch is 304, lid and bottle cap included. The bottle's outer shell is 201, and it touches nothing you eat or drink.

One food-grade silicone seal

Removable. Washable. We'll sell you a spare for as long as you own it.

Nothing else

No coatings, no liners, no "composite of ingredients." If a third material ever appears, it goes on the page before it goes in the box.

And what it won't do

It doesn't go in the microwave. You can't see through it. It's heavier than plastic. If that matters more, buy something else.

Why it matters

You already read the label.
Then it goes in a plastic box.

You cook. You check ingredients. Then the last step of that chain is a container you've never once looked at. Not carelessness — habit.

We're not here to tell you plastic is dangerous. Nobody can tell you that honestly. We're here because"nobody knows yet"isn't a good enough answer for the thing your dinner sits in for three days.

Straight answers

Before you buy

No. Steel never goes in a microwave — not ours, not anybody's. It is the one real trade-off in owning steel, and we would rather you knew it before you bought than after. There is a short guide on the site for reheating without one.

Yes, all of it. Lids on the top rack. Let everything dry fully before you put it away — steel doesn't mind water, but water left standing leaves lime marks.

Leak-resistant, and we won't say leakproof. Upright in a bag or a fridge it holds. On its side with soup in it, we wouldn't bet on it. The seal is silicone and silicone wears out — which is why we sell spares instead of pretending it won't.

Yes. Steel doesn't go brittle in the cold and it won't crack the way glass can. Leave a couple of centimetres of headspace so the food has room to expand as it freezes.

No. Steel is non-porous, so garlic, curry and fish don't stay behind the way they do in plastic. The one place odour can linger is the silicone seal — take it out and wash it separately now and then.

No coating and no liner anywhere in this set. Two materials, and we name them both: 304 food-grade stainless steel and food-grade silicone. The bottle is the one exception worth naming — the outer skin your hand holds is 201 steel, a lower grade, and it touches nothing you drink. We'd rather name it than round down.

Yes. Steel scratches — a fork, a brush and a dishwasher rack all leave marks eventually. The difference is what a scratch means. In plastic it is somewhere for oils and colour to settle. In steel it is cosmetic and nothing else.
