The Complete Guide to the b.box Lunchware & Feeding Collection
Packing fresh, healthy, and waste-free lunches across the Australian school year requires versatile, durable tools built for real family routines. Founded in 2007 by Dannielle Michaels and Monique Filer, b.box has transformed everyday school lunch prep, daycare morning teas, and playground outings with an entire ecosystem of leak-proof, modular lunchware.
Engineered for Independent Little Hands
Every piece in the b.box catalogue is intentionally crafted to foster autonomy, from self-opening latches for preschool hands to stretch seals accommodating whole fruit without pre-slicing:
- Modular Cross-Compatibility: b.box accessories, cooler ice bricks, and snack tubs slip effortlessly inside the larger bento compartments or lunch bag pockets.
- Targeted Temperature Control: Double-walled stainless steel insulation across drink bottles and food jars keeps lunches steaming warm or icy cold through high Australian temperatures.
- BPA, Phthalate & PVC Free: Constructed strictly from non-toxic, food-safe silicone and heavy-duty polypropylene designed for everyday wash cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions About the b.box Range
Which b.box lunchbox should I choose for starting Kindergarten?
For children aged 4 to 6 entering Kindergarten or Prep, the standard b.box Bento Lunchbox is ideal if they have a full-day appetite requiring sandwiches, fruit, and crunch-and-sip. If your child attends half days or has smaller portion sizes, the b.box Mini Lunchbox is lighter and easier to fit inside smaller preschool backpacks.
Are b.box drink bottles and food jars made from stainless steel?
Yes. The b.box Insulated Drink Bottles and Insulated Food Jars feature double-walled food-grade stainless steel construction designed to maintain cold or hot temperatures without external condensation.
Do b.box Lunch Bags fit the full-size Bento Lunchbox?
Yes. The b.box Insulated Lunch Bag is designed specifically to accommodate the full-size Bento Lunchbox flat, with extra space for a 350ml or 500ml drink bottle.
Can you put thin liquids like soup inside the Bento Lunchbox?
No. While the silicone seals in the b.box Bento, Mini, and Snack Box are leak-proof for wet food consistencies like yoghurt, dips, and chopped fruit, thin liquids like broth or salad dressing require the seal of an Insulated Food Jar or Lunch Tub.
What is the b.box Lunch Pocket used for?
The Lunch Pocket is an eco-friendly silicone pouch designed to hold sandwiches, toasties, rolls, or baked treats. It eliminates single-use plastic wrap, is completely dishwasher safe, and folds flat after lunch.
How long does the b.box Ice Gel Cooler keep food cold?
When frozen overnight and slipped into the designated compartment of the b.box Bento or an insulated lunch bag, the gel cooler pack keeps food chilled through morning recess and midday lunch in typical Australian school conditions.
Can b.box products go in the dishwasher?
The removable silicone seals and inner divider trays are top-rack dishwasher safe. To keep hinge pins and latches functioning smoothly over multiple years, hand washing the outer shell of the lunchbox is recommended.
Are replacement parts available for b.box products?
Yes. b.box offers replacement parts across its product families, including replacement straw packs, cleaning brushes, spare gel cooler blocks, and replacement seals.
Where can I buy the complete b.box collection online in Australia?
You can purchase genuine b.box products—including lunch boxes, drink bottles, food jars, lunch bags, and accessories—directly from the Nice Tribe b.box Brand Hub with fast nationwide delivery across Australia.
Are all b.box containers safe and free from toxic chemicals?
Yes. All containers, seals, and accessories in the b.box range are food-safe and independently tested to be 100% free from BPA, Phthalates, and PVC.
