WHCH BRANDED LUNCH BOX IS EASIEST TO CLEAN?
Background on different lunchbox materials
Which lunchbox materials to choose?
Your choice of promotional lunch box materials can ultimately make or break your love and continued use of the product, as the different types of materials can really impact enjoyment and ease of use, practicality and one of the most important yet overlooked points about being able to keep it hygienically clean. To help make your decision on branded lunch box easier we have written this handy summary of the different materials available for your new custom branded lunch boxes.
The main choice of most promotional lunch box materials is going to be plastic, glass, metal and some eco alternative materials such as bamboo or bamboo/ resin blends.
Plastic lunch boxes have been a tried and tested material for Tupperware and lunch boxes for around 70 years, however, with growing concerns about micro plastic particles leaching into the foods they hold, the plastic quality has thankfully now drastically improved to exclude BPA and Phthalates to make them safe for food use. Plastic lunch and food containers are ideal to hold dry foods, such as breads, cakes, sandwiches, cheese and crackers etc. We are still cautious about heating them up in the microwave, I tend to wash them by hand and not leave foods in them which are strong in colour, oils or strong odours as the plastics tend to absorb the colour and smell of stronger foods like curries. This makes them much easier to clean out, if you do accidentally stain the plastic, then leave it soaking in warm soapy water and clean gently by hand with a soft scourer to avoid scratching the plastic.
Plastic branded lunch boxes are cheap, lightweight, very robust if you treat it with care - (it shouldn't be overheated and can be scratched very easily) but it can be frozen and very rarely shatters unless the plastic is very old and degraded. Antibacterial additives can also be blended into the plastic lunchbox during production and plastic can also be moulded into many different shapes and different colours, which means we can easily match or compliment your branding and logo. It's also common to have extra little pots or compartments to include additional foods such as seeds or salad dressings or a separate little sweet for dessert.
Another tried and tested material has to be the classic metal lunch box tins - these were actually the original lunch boxes before they were largely replaced by the mass production of Tupperware which rose to fame in the 50's. Food storage containers were usually metal tins; they came in a variety of sizes and were commonly used throughout the kitchen and for lunches taken to work or school. Then along came the ubiquitous plastic containers, which were cheaper to produce and replaced a lot of metal tins and containers. However, there has always been a place for stainless steel 'mess tins', for Army or camping use, where the particular qualities of metal are essential - as these tins can be heated over a camping stove or outdoor fire, they are so easy to keep clean and are virtually indestructible.
Then we had a turning point, driven partly by doubts about using plastic containers for food storage and partly because in the long term, metal can be considered more environmentally friendly as the material does not significantly degrade so should offer a lifetime of use. So, we have seen a rise in the use of stainless steel food containers which are fantastic quality, clean up like new after each use, dishwasher safe, food safe, freezable and can be heated directly on a stove or in an oven, but never in a microwave of course. These containers are my personal favourite and I'm slowly replacing each of my oldest plastic Tupperware containers.
Similar to metal, promotional glass lunchbox containers can be used as a great alternative to plastic. As a material it is very stable, doesn't absorb food odours, colours, oils and cannot leak any chemicals into the food either. This makes glass perfect for storing wet foods, like soups, stews, curries, pasta dishes etc, so these are popular for bringing into work where reheating is possible and glass can be used in the microwave and dishwasher. It's most common to have plastic lids on glass, which usually have a handy sealable vent which is useful when cooling or heating the food, they also have leak proof snap shut seals.
Glass lunch boxes is a near perfect material for the aforementioned qualities, however the main downside is how fragile it is. This is what makes glass my close second favourite material. To be fair, the glass used for food containers is often shatter proof and toughened and pretty hardy for most uses including extreme hot and cold, but I learnt the hard way when I stacked 3 empty glass containers and absent mindedly put them in my car boot. I cracked 2 of them, but accept it was my own fault and I should have taken better care with them!
WHICH PROMOTIONAL LUNCH BOX SHOULD I BUY?
We offer a wide range of promotional lunch boxes, from metal stainless steel, glass lunch boxes, bamboo and recycled plastics.
if you want to pack your food you must have a stainless steel lunch box. Stainless steel is a good material for containing food items. Having a stainless steel lunch box for the office may keep your food warm for a long time as compared to a plastic one. Stainless steel is non-porous and doesn't absorb food odours or stains. This makes it easy to clean and keep your lunch box looking like new. Additionally, many stainless steel lunch boxes are dishwasher-safe, making cleaning even more convenient.
A glass lunch box has strong corrosion resistance and is easier to clean. Glass lunch box is also microwave safe and dishwasher safe as well as being non-puros. Glass is a non-toxic and non-reactive material, which means that it does not leach harmful chemicals into your food. A good glass lunch box is certainly a great option for homemade foods and reheating them. The down side Is that they are heavier and can break at some point.
What about bamboo lunch boxes? A toxin-free lunch box it is critical to use inert materials that do not leak hazardous particles into the food or drink. It is why glass, bamboo, or stainless steel lunch box is unquestionably healthier than plastic food holder. 100% Bamboo lunch boxes are eco-friendly however being a plant fibre, it's not suitable for microwave use. for custom branding bamboo will offer more options for branding your logo along with plastic lunch boxes.
Which Plastic lunch box should I choose? Plastic lunch boxes are still more affordable and with great custom branding options it is also a great choice. We make sure we offer recycled plastic lunch boxes, RPET lunch boxes or bags, as well as microwave safe plastic lunch boxes.

VACUUM, INSULATED, COPPER, DOUBLE WALLED EXPLAINED
Stainless steel is really the material of choice for promotional drinks bottles and cups because it is safe, doesn’t affect the taste of the liquid, won’t crack, is durable, and pairs perfectly with vacuum technology for great insulation properties. For cleaning they are usually dishwasher safe, which is a plus, but must never be microwaved of course.
The concept of the insulated flask was first patented by the well known Thermos brand in 1908, to keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. The very clever design incorporates one bottle within another, separated by a vacuum. A vacuum is a very poor thermal conductor so the hot or cold of the drink is trapped inside the inner bottle and escapes very slowly compared to a single walled container. The vacuum also prevents condensation from building up on the outside of the container as this will remain around room temperature, regardless of the temperature of the contents.
The most advanced design will include a copper plating on the outside of the inner bottle, keeping drinks hot or cold for even longer. The vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle with copper plating on the inner wall has a thermal insulated effect of about 30% better than that of the ordinary same type vacuum insulated stainless steel water bottle.
Some of our double wall, vacuum insulated containers have a wide opening, making them ideal for keeping hot soups or stews toasty warm in the cold winter months. Enjoy!

Promotional Products with The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
GOTS has a clearly defined set of criteria which makes the standards transparent. GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. When looking for custom printed T shirts and printed tote bags, make sure they are GOTS organic cotton and clearly labelled.
Why GOTS? Environment: It is standard practice in conventional textile processing to use chemicals that are proven to be harmful to human health, some of which are known carcinogens! Such chemicals are strictly prohibited by the GOTS standard.
Social Criteria of GOTS certified promotional clothing and printed bags:
Child labour is prohibited/ Employment is to be freely chosen – no forced labour / No discrimination is permitted and harsh or inhumane treatment is prohibited / Working conditions must be safe and hygienic / Regular employment is to be provided and working hours are not to be excessive / There is to be freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
Organic Guarantee and Traceability through GOTS Labelling - Seach GOTS products
Global Recycled Standards
Products which have been certificated with the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), tracks and verity’s the content of recycled materials in the final product. The objectives of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims and good working conditions, and that harmful environmental and chemical impacts are minimised.
The GRS label has strict guidelines and certification processes. It verifies the recycled content of textile products, backed by independent certification of the input material. The GRS certification also addresses the social aspects of production. GRS certified products must comply with labour standards as set by the International Labour Organisation.
The Global Recycled Standard sets social requirements regarding: social policies, record-keeping, forced labour, child labour, freedom of association, discrimination, harassment, and abuse, health and safety, wages and benefits, terms of employment and working hours
Recycled Claim Standard
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is a voluntary, international content claim standard that gives credibility to recycled material claims by tracking recycled input through the supply chain of products. The RCS uses the chain of custody requirements of the Content Claim Standard which are:
Recycled materials / at least 5% recycled content / Traceability of the recycled material throughout the entire production process from the recycler to the final product / Ethical and responsible production / Ethical work conditions and labour practices, including compliance to the International Labour Organisation’s labour standards
The Recycled Claim Standard is intended for use with any product that contains at least 5% Recycled Material. Each stage of production is required to be certified, beginning at the recycling stage and ending at the last seller in the final business-to-business transaction. Material Collection and Material Concentration sites are subject to self-declaration, document collection, and on-site visits.
Don’t just take our word for it, ask us for product compliance certifications.
Promotional Products and Blockchain
We predict it won’t be long before all promotional products have some sort of blockchain implemented. Transparency is becoming vital to consumers and product reputation with more sustainable demands. We are already seeing blockchain used to stop greenwashing via verification and use in supply chain management. Blockchain are QR codes, smart labels, near-field communication (NFC) and (RFID) tags. Blockchain is simply a record of data distributed and verified with no counterfeiting or manipulation at any end by the very definition of distributed records.
The fashion industry will see the biggest benefit and this will be adopted to promotional garments and textile products along with new innovation we are already seeing with the AWARE tracer.
Why the fashion Industry?
Monitor delivery with GPS tracking from warehouse, distribution centre to the customers front door. Luxury brands can reduce counterfeit by registering the product on the blockchain at the start of the supply chain process. Customer can prove and verify ownership. Fashion Giant Burberry, developed a prototype which allows Burberry customers to register their garments and view history and information about the environmental and human impact of the item itself.
