School lunches
Lunch box sorted. Mornings sorted.
Everything for the school lunch routine in one place: lunch boxes kids actually open, insulated bags and food jars that keep food the right temperature, and the little accessories that make packing quicker. Less cling wrap, less waste and fewer packaged snacks to buy every week.
Start with the right lunch box
Bigger isn't always better. A box that matches their appetite gets eaten, and a lunch box that comes home empty is the goal.
Original lunch box
Primary school and big appetites- Compartments for a full day of food
- Fits our bestselling 200ml and 230ml food jars
- Loads of colours and prints
Mini lunch box
Daycare, kindy and smaller appetites- A smaller box that's less overwhelming
- Less left over at pick-up
- Great as a second box for recess
Munch and crunch
Fruit break, recess and after school- Snack-sized portions
- Pairs with a main lunch box
- Handy for after-school snacks too
Lunch box coming home full? It might be time to downsize.
Pick a lunch bag that fits
An insulated bag and an ice pack are what keep lunch cool until lunchtime. Here's how our three favourite ranges compare. My pick is the MontiiCo Large, because it's the only one that comes with an ice pack.
Large insulated lunch bag
My pick, because the elite ice pack is included- 5.1L, fits most popular bento boxes plus snacks
- Separate pocket keeps the ice pack off the food
- Comes with the elite gel ice pack, up to 8 hours cooling

Flexi insulated lunch bag
bbox families who mix and match- Flexible sides fit lunch box plus snack box or food jar combos
- Inner mesh pocket for the jumbo gel cooler
- Side pocket holds the drink bottle

Light, roomy and fun prints- Fits bbox original, or bbox mini plus snack box

Sunday yoghurt prep, done in ten minutes
Buy one big tub of yoghurt, fill a week of reusable pouches, and lunch box snacks are sorted until Friday.
Grab a pouch from the fridge. No scooping on school mornings.
A big tub costs far less per serve than single-use squeeze pouches.
No wrappers or empty pouches in the bin every day. Wash, refill, repeat.
- Pour a big tub of yoghurt into a 1 litre filler pouch.
- Fill your 150ml pouches on the Sinch Station.
- Pop them in the fridge, ready to grab and go each morning.
Five-minute school mornings
A little bit of prep on the weekend means mornings are just grab, zip and go.
-
Prep on the weekend
Bake a batch of muffins or slice, chop the veg and do your Sunday yoghurt prep. Our weekend prep list has four easy freezer-friendly recipes.
-
Freeze the baking
Muffins, slice and bliss balls freeze well. Pack them frozen and they'll be thawed by morning tea.
-
Pack the night before
Fill the lunch box and pop it in the fridge. In the morning, just add the ice pack and drink bottle.
-
Hot or cold, sorted
For a warm lunch, preheat the food jar with boiling water before filling. For cold food, the ice pack goes in the lunch bag, not next to the food jar.
New for back to school
Two new b.box releases are on their way. Join the Sinchies family to be the first to know when they land, plus 10% off your first order.

School lunch FAQs
Can't see your question? Send us a message and we'll get back to you.
Which lunch box size should I get?
For primary school and bigger appetites, the bbox original holds a full day of food. For daycare, kindy or smaller eaters, the bbox mini is less overwhelming and easier to finish. Lots of families pair a main lunch box with a snack box for recess.
Which food jars fit inside the bbox lunch box?
Our two bestsellers, the MontiiCo Mini 200ml and the Oasis 230ml, both fit inside the bbox original. The 400ml jar goes in the lunch bag instead. See our food jar guide to compare them.
Which lunch bag fits a bbox lunch box?
All three of our ranges work with bbox. The b.box Flexi is made to fit bbox combos, the Sachi Junior fits a bbox original or a mini plus snack box, and the MontiiCo Large fits most popular bento boxes with room for snacks. See the lunch bag comparison for sizes.
How do I keep lunch cold until lunchtime?
Use an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack inside, and pack the lunch box straight from the fridge.
How do I pack a waste-free lunch?
Swap cling wrap for a silicone lunch pocket or wrap bands, buy snacks in bulk and portion them into snack tubs or reusable snack bags, and fill reusable pouches with yoghurt from a big tub. Our 5 easy lunch box swaps has more ideas.
How do I clean Sinchies reusable pouches?
Our 150ml reusable food pouches are hand wash only. Rinse them straight after school, wash with warm soapy water and a cleaning brush, and let them dry completely. See our care instructions for more.
What's new from b.box?
The b.box Insulated Lunch Pod (a food jar that fits inside the lunch box) and a new stainless steel lunch box range are coming soon. Join the Sinchies family to hear first.
