On busy workdays, a suitable lunch box can not only meet our dietary needs but also improve our quality of life. Choosing the appropriate size and capacity of the lunch box is the first step in ensuring that we can enjoy delicious lunch every day. Here are some suggestions on how to choose the size and capacity of a lunch box.

1. Personal appetite

• Small appetite or weight loss individuals can choose 600ml to 800ml lunch boxes.

• Moderate or larger meals are suitable for lunch boxes ranging from 1L to 1.2L.

2. Portability

If you need to frequently carry a lunch box to work or school, it is advisable to choose a lightweight, compact, hand-held or portable design lunch box. For example, PP material lunch boxes are usually relatively lightweight.

If more food or utensils need to be stored, a larger capacity lunch box would be more suitable.

3. Food types

Considering staple foods, dishes, fruits, etc., it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient space in the lunch box to separate these foods and avoid mixing or spillage of food.

If you need to bring soup or fruit, you may need to choose a slightly larger capacity lunch box, or choose a lunch box with separated or sealed containers to meet special needs.

4. Shape and size of lunch box

• A square plastic lunch box may have a larger actual volume than a glass lunch box of the same capacity.

• Choose a regular shaped, seamless lunch box for easy cleaning.

• Pay attention to the external dimensions to ensure it can fit into a backpack, handbag, or microwave.

In short, when choosing the size and capacity of a lunch box, one should consider their own appetite, portability needs, food types, and special needs comprehensively to ensure that they choose a practical and satisfactory lunch box.
