the secret to packing lunchboxes like a pro
Oct 09, 2025
Packing school lunches can feel like Groundhog Day. One day it’s sandwiches, the next it’s... sandwiches again.
If you're tired of half-eaten lunches, picky eater meltdowns and the daily stress of what to pack, you're not alone.
Here’s the good news: Packing lunches doesn’t have to be boring or complicated. The secret? b.box bento buddies and trays, designed to take the stress out of lunch packing while keeping it fun, fresh and fuss-free.
unlock more variety without the mess
Kids love variety. Parents love not cleaning up a mess. With b.box bento buddies and bento trays, you can finally have both.
Each insert has smaller sections that let you pack lots of different foods in one lunchbox. Think dips with veggie sticks, crackers with cheese, chopped watermelon, mini wraps, muffins, or even leftover pasta.
High walls and flexible silicone sides help keep everything in its place. That means no soggy crackers and no mystery fruit juice spilling into your sandwich.
support fussy eaters
(and encourage explorers)If you’ve got a picky eater at home, you know how tricky lunchtime can be.
Bento inserts let you pack “a little bit of everything” instead of one big portion. This helps reduce overwhelm and gives your child the freedom to pick and choose what they want without pressure.
It also makes it easier to introduce new foods in a low-stress way. A spoonful of hummus here, a slice of kiwi there.
smarter portions, less waste
Nobody likes opening a lunchbox full of uneaten food.
With bento buddies and trays, the smaller compartments naturally help with portion control.
Plus, the inserts make it easier to reuse leftovers creatively – think last night’s roast veggies turned into a fun mini salad.
easy packing and even easier cleaning
Let’s be real, lunch packing needs to be quick. Mornings are chaotic enough!
b.box inserts are made from one-piece silicone, so there are no fiddly parts or corners where crumbs can hide.
When the day’s over? Just toss the inserts in the dishwasher for a fuss-free clean.
designed for b.box lunchboxes
Not all inserts are created equal. Many “one-size-fits-all” lunchbox accessories don’t really fit.
b.box bento buddies and bento trays are custom-designed to perfectly fit b.box lunchboxes.
Here’s the breakdown of what fits what:
bento buddy lunchbox – Remove the sandwich cover, and it fits in the square compartment of the lunchbox.
bento tray lunchbox – Simply remove the divider and it fits in the long compartment.
bento tray mini lunchbox – Pop it in the long compartment to create more bento sections.
bento buddy snackbox – Fits in the snackbox and is ideal for sauces and dips.
Each insert is made to fit exactly – no guesswork, no mess.
