is this flat? And would it be okay used in a lunchbox, not leaking if laying sideways??

Its not perfectly flat, it has a bit of a curve to it so that it fits in your hand well. Not sure if that makes sense or not. I dont think I would try it in a luchbox. I'd be afraid it would fall over and leak. If you could somehow guarantee that it would stay upright it might be ok.

I would trust it in a lunchbox. Never had an issue with leaking. The design is great. It is slightly curved but nothing too dramatic. It would be safe to call it mostly flat.

The bottom container is closed air tight but not leak proof. If you need air lock and leak proof bento then you can find the bento bowl sold on Amazon. Look for pdn9 and kpdn6 (Japanese 2 Tier Bento bowl). You read anti-leak in feature listing. These bento bowls have screw top cover keeping it air lock tight :) Thank you. Comfort Loft

I don't know about in a lunch box. I have four of these total (three year old twins), they get used all the time and the only time I have ever seen them leak was when my son shoved the mouth piece down into the thermos. They have been closed and thrown on the car floor and nothing leaked out.

as long as it's not in your backpack or somewhere where it could get squeezed by accident. It's not really 100% leak proof, but if you put it down sideways nothing will come out.

Did not leak on me, but I kept it level and did not turn sideways in my lunchbag. Fairly tight seal, but if jossled too much might pop off.

No. I ordered 2 sets and about 3 of the ones that I got came home in my kids' lunches unopened because they were stuck closed. My kids, their teachers, my husband, and I could not open them no matter what. So actually those 3 were leak proof, but also unusable as a result! The remaining ones that we are able to use will hold mushy food, but if you put soup or water in them, the'd leak if they were tilted sideways or upside down. The lid and bottom pieces have no thread like a screw would - the lids are slightly wider than the bottoms and just fit over the bottom piece.

NOT leak proof!!!! I would put dry goods in it. If you are able to transport it while keeping it upright, then I would put thicker sauce in there, but definately nothing runny.

Yes, soup taken for lunch and placed laying on its side in a lunch bag has not leaked.

I think it's called Mckenzie lunch box through Pottery Barn-that's what we use. It stores it vertically though and my yum box does tend to have a little leakage into other compartments so maybe it's best stored flat? A variety of more adult type tote lunch bags will do the trick.

Yes. It is leak proof. Make sure all four tabs are locked in place. That is how i mixed the salad. This is the best salad container for commuters that i found.

I have two of these - it is microwaveable.....it has an insert for steaming things. But, I wouldn't consider it leakproof. I put soup in it - but I do not turn it upside down. There is a tight seal when you put the strap on top - but, again, I wouldn't just throw it around with soup in it. Hope this helps!To clarify - the lids just sit on top of the containers. They are not threaded and there is no real seal/snap on type - the strap holds the lids tightly to the containers.

I am not entirely sure what you are asking. There are four separate containers as represented in picture by colors. Each is the size shown. The lid looks the same inside (with impressions) as the tops of the lids. I have not had a leaking issue with any of these products. My 11yr daughter uses them, and does not do well with keeping her lunch box upright. I hope this helps you.

Yes, it is flat. We haven't tried it because we ordered it about the time we were finished canning. I feel confident that it will work for us.

If it does not leak it would probably be good for this limited use...it is comfortable and sturdy enough to lean on.

Yes it will leak. Only good as long as it is upright. The top has a slider type opening.

Haven't tried liquids, but it has a good seal and if you don't tempt fate by storing it on its side, I don't think you will have leaks.

Hubby puts this in his lunchbox and yes, he puts it flat on the bottom. I guess being on its side depends on what you put in it. We put veggies and sometimes a bit of three-bean salad to top the salad. Really can't be beat in hot weather with the ice tray. Keeps veggies nice and crisp instead of limp and tired...it locks fairly leakproof, but I am not certain as he is able to carry it flat in his lunchbox. Better than any I have seen in the stores, more compact. Maybe you need a new tote...hahaha...but seriously, I just can't be certain due to how we use it.
