The best insulated lunch bags and boxes for taking into the office in 2024
Fresh food = sorted
At this point the majority of us spend at least a few days a week in the office, and so apart from the occasional lunch splurge, most of us are relying on the humble work packed lunch. There are lots of perks to prepping your own lunch – not least the cost-saving aspect of not forking out for a Pret baguette every day.
Whether you've got a fridge in your office or not, it's always a good idea to have an insulated lunch bag cooler. If you have a fridge then you're keeping your dinner leftovers fresh on the journey to work, and if you don't have a fridge you can at least be confident in the knowledge your pre-prepped salad is still good to eat come 1pm.
Here are our some of favourite lunch cooler bags and boxes:
Best lunch bag for capacity: KALIDI Roll Top Insulated Lunch Bag
Best budget lunch cooler bag:&Again Gingham Paper Cooler Lunch Bag
Best multi-compartment lunch cooler bag: Life Wit Insulated Lunch Bag
Best lunch cooler bag with boxes: Tatay 5-Piece Urban Lunch Pack with 4 Food Containers
Best alternative lunch box container: Frank Green Insulated Food Container
So if you haven't invested in a lunch cooler bag or box for your mid-week lunches, then these are our pick for the best lunch bags and boxes to take into the office in 2024.
