The last thing you want when opening your lunch bag is your food smelling a bit different. This happens because some food won't last long without being refrigerated and spoils when kept at room temperature. Maybe you don't have access to a fridge throughout the day or avoid packing certain food because there's not a microwave in the office. Well, we have some good news for you! There are ways to carry a lunch bag that will help keep your food fresh. In this article, we’ll cover the best ways to carry lunch boxes and go over some extra tips so you can eat what you want when you want without it being a hassle.

There’s a specific lunch box that is best for each situation. But which one is right for you? This depends on what you need it for. Whether it's keeping food warm or maintaining your food frozen during long car rides. Lunch bags can come with different features like straps, extra pockets, different insulated compartments, and more. Once you pick all the important features comes the even more fun part of picking your favorite look and decorated style. 

One of the best ways to carry your lunch is with an insulated lunch bag. The insulated material keeps food and drinks at the temperature you want. The material of insulated lunch bags makes them very easy to clean. Add ice packs if needed to keep your drinks extra cold. Look for quality insulated bags to avoid any leaks or easy rips that would diminish their purpose.

Some insulated bags even come with different compartments so you can separate cold and warm items without needing another one. This makes it convenient and easy to carry everything, but make sure your lunch bags have thick insulation when putting food or liquids with different temperatures.

Cooler bags are ideal when you need to store larger amounts. They take away the need of using additional lunch boxes. Trying to juggle all our bags gets annoying. Avoid that headache by using a cooler bag when you're at the beach. Be hands-free without having to give up bringing your favorite snacks just because its a hassle to carry.

Tip for long road trips: No ice packs? No problem! Simply freeze your beverages and use them as ice packs. You're basically killing two birds with one stone by keeping your food cool and enjoying a crispy cold drink. It's like a little reward in the end. 

If you need a lunch bag to keep your food separated and do not need to keep it at a certain temperature, then a bento box is the most practical way. Bento boxes are containers that have different compartments so you can carry different types of food without having to mix them together. You can keep your fruits in one section and your other food in another without needing multiple containers.

There are different types of bento boxes that work for different types of foods. Some boxes have small retractable compartments so you can heat up your food while keeping others cold. These boxes are useful for allowing you to carry a variety of food without needing a bulky lunch bag. It’s also ideal for people who don’t like their food to touch or mix or to use a cute way to display a lunch for kids.

Why carry two bags when you only need one? If you’re going to the office and need to carry your essentials as well as your lunch, use backpacks with a built-in area for a lunch bag. Once you get to the office or school, you can pull it out and store your food while keeping your other essentials on you. When it's time to go, store your containers in the lunch bag compartment to and enjoy being hands-free.

If you know you won’t have access to a fridge for a long time, sometimes it is best to avoid certain foods and not take any chances of your food going bad. Foods that don’t rely on temperature are non-perishable items like granola, nuts, and crackers.

Things you want to avoid packing are items with a lot of dairy or strong odors like fish and boiled eggs. This way you avoid your lunch bag getting stinky but also minimize the possibility of your food going bad.

If you have a staff or a sports team that needs a convenient way to carry their lunch throughout the day, consider getting customized lunch bags. Not only are they practical but they promote a positive work environment. Custom lunch boxes can also be used as giveaways at events to promote your brand or as gifts for current or potential customers.

Save money by taking your lunch to work and school without limiting yourself on what you can eat. Choose the lunch bag that is best for your needs.
