Planetbox specialises in simple, durable lunchboxes that have carved out a solid reputation among parents and anyone fed up with flimsy plastic containers. Their metal designs are a bit heavier than your usual fare but built to last, with clever compartments that keep food separate and fresh. The brand’s ethos leans towards less waste and more practicality, which is pretty refreshing in the lunchware market. You’ll mostly find shoppers who want a no-nonsense, reusable option for school or work.
The range isn’t huge but it’s focused, with the original Planetbox and Rover models being the most popular. They’re dishwasher safe and made from stainless steel, so they don’t stain or hold on to smells like some plastic boxes. Colours and magnets for personalisation add a bit of fun without feeling childish. The downside might be the price, which is higher than the average lunchbox, but many who buy them tend to stick with the brand for years.
If you’re after a lunch container that can survive a school bag tumble or a daily commute without leaking or cracking, Planetbox is a solid bet. The UK availability is decent through online retailers, although there aren’t always many discounts. It’s one of those purchases you make once and then forget about for a while.
