A stainless steel lunchbox is the perfect choice for any NZ kid. You might be used to seeing plastic lunch boxes everywhere, but just because they’re common doesn’t mean they’re the best. Stainless steel can offer many awesome benefits, making it a better, healthier choice for your child.

Why Stainless Steel Lunch Boxes Are The Best

When your NZ kids use stainless steel lunch boxes, they’ll be able to enjoy good clean food every lunch.
It’s Safe. Certain kinds of plastic have been found to have some dangerous properties that could make them unsafe. Plastic that contains BPA, a synthetic chemical, has been linked to some health conditions.

It’s Durable And Long-Lasting. When you get stainless steel lunch boxes for your NZ family, you can happily know that you’ll use and enjoy those lunch boxes for many years. Stainless steel is an incredibly durable material. Plastic boxes can easily break or crack from minor damages, but stainless steel with be there for you for a long time.
This durability also means that stainless steel containers are safer.
