I bought this lunch box for my sons school lunches. It’s awesome! Easy to open en close, easy to clean and sturdy material!I ordered one of these boxes thinking it would be of at least high quality, thick, durable plastic. Instead it was cheap, thin, and probably wouldn't last me more than a month. It is one step up from disposable Tupperware. Also know there is nothing included with this item, don't expect to pleasantly surprised by an ice pack or dividers. Spend your money on the plethora of other items available here that are made of solid metal or at least thicker plastic at probably half the price.This is an excellent product. It is made responsibly in Holland by a company that has been producing this type of product for 60 years now. The fact that the plastic is thin does not mean that it is not strong or durable. I have been using this particular product for 2 years now and it is perfect. Here's why:1:Made in Holland by a company that has been producing food containers for 60 years! (I don't know about you but I would much rather trust the plastics from an EU regulated manufacturer. Cheap plastic from unregulated manufacturers can cause harm to your health!).2: No Leaks - EVER3: Easy to carry. Very thin and wide. Can be carried in a briefcase or even your laptop skin (I routinely put it under my 13" Thinkpad in the protective case.4: Excellent Design. It looks good - especially in white - it does not look like an embarrassing, dated, ugly tupperware box. (Did you know these were featured in the film sets of Prometheus? Check it out!That's that. I hope this helps.~ 'Rosti Mepal to go'~ Take a Break (TAB) Lunchbox~ The unique sealing keeps all kinds of lunches fresh and tasty.'♦ RIGID BOX: 'ABS PLASTIC'♦ SIZE: MEDIUM/MIDI♦ COLOUR: LIME♦ SIZE: Approximate, based on my own:The base measures 16.5 cm x 11.5 cm x 5.25 cm deep, with nicely rounded edges.The base has four tiny self-coloured 'feet' and is embossed with 'MEPAL ROSTI ~ Made in Holland'.The lunch box has a neat ribbed design on the outside. A removable strong plastic-type divider is included to allow separation of e.g. fruit & sandwich or, in my case, the insertion of an ice pack (not supplied). The divider can also be used to successfully keep a couple of little dressing pots in situ with a salad in the main compartment. The separate lid is about 1 cm deep and has an all round grey-coloured inner seal.With the lid on, the overall width is 18.5 cm allowing for the sturdy side clips, which open outwards at the bottom and click back into place when required. This is an easy operation for younger hands, also (in my experience), to grasp, without catching their fingers.The advertised capacity is 900 ml/31 oz.As a guide, I can get three passion fruit, a small bunch of grapes and some cherry tomatoes in comfortably on the days when a sandwich is off the menu.♦ Easy to clean♦ Top rack dishwasher safe♦ Not freezer/microwave safeAll in all this is a durable, good-sized box, which serves its purpose well and is currently also available in:Fantastic lunch box. Purchased for sons school bag as always so full. Very neat compact lunchbox, great colour. Can fit sandwich/wraps, fruit and veg, snack bars, etc, airtight lid so no need for cling film. Would buy again.Excellent! Searched high and low for a lunchbox that will fit in a laptop bag and this is it. It's been used for sandwiches, salads, pasta and rice dishes and we've never had a leak. It feels small but it can fit a good (man sized!) portion in. Another pleasant side effect is that you can fit a normal sized fork in it. Really happy with this.Space saving, look contemporary and slick. I like it and my friends and colleagues like it too. The container carries more food than I expected.Size is not as described. Its less than half what it should be. Very disappointing.
