Which of the 3 sizes is best for a small work lunch? Sandwich and snacks in ziploc bags, or maybe sometimes frozen entrees or tupperware containers.

I purchased the middle size and it's perfect. Holds enough to feed my hungry man. I also purchased the small 4 pk squares blue ice pks They work great! I was putting ice cubes in a zip lock bag but as ice melted the bags would leak. The ice pks don't leak, and he just puts them back in freezer over night.

Sandwiches would fit great in the smallest one, but some frozen entrees won't fit.

Yup the largest compartment will easily hold a standard size sandwich. This blog has some pics to show what fits - http://rachelsrandom.com/2012/08/work-lunch-upgrade-hubbys-lunch-makeover/ (That's not an identical box but it's really close, size-wise.)

If I am correct, Rubbermaid Lunch Blox is a set of several containers, as shown here Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit, 1806231 . In that case, this lunch bag is too small. My wife only uses two small containers. Please find bigger lunch bag for this kit.

Hello J. Tullier!I'd think any of those would be fine.....think of them as a raisin....which could be stored all 3 ways w/the freezer extending the life the best!

If I'm packing can soda's I'd use loose ice. If it's sandwiches andfried chicken I'd use packs. I usually put an ice cream bucket withice from my refrig.

I use a regular size lunch bag, like one from Target - Barbie for kids. If you are looking for the big size - you can buy dual compartment lunch kit bag Embark Pink Leopard Print Dual Compartment Lunch Kit With Food Container or just decent size Chevron Lunch Bag Black White Hot Pink Fuchsia Insulated bag

The soup container is the smallest one. It will work, but it is not enough sustenance for me. My typical lunch consists of a protein in that smallest one, steamed veggies in the medium sized one, and a salad in the largest. I hope this helps!

I actually have quite a large insulated lunch bag that is the size of a medium size pocketbook. I may be a little difficult to transport in one of the smaller insulated bags, but one you get it you can fit one that fits. It is worth it. Once I am work I stuff it in a refrigerator, but the insert if you chill it first should keep it fairly cool.

You can put 2-3 Tupperware containers in it with no problem. Perfect for lunch.

Unless you have a lot of veggies to pack into it I'd start off with the 5L size. The bigger the crock the heavier it is empty and when loaded its really, really a back breaker! So don't try to heft it from the floor without help (unless you lift weights). If you want to produce more you can always get a second 5L, that way you can have several different recipes going at the same time. Hope this helps a bit...

I would recommend the small size for individual portions. (Sorry this response is not timely!)

Hi David!Yes, you can store food in these bags! Since the Big Bags are made of a thicker, heavy duty plastic, than the smaller freezer bags are made of, I don't see why not.Can I use Ziploc® brand Big Bags to store food?Yes. Ziploc® brand Big Bags can be used to store food, but they should not be used in the microwave or oven.The above entry is listed under the FAQ section of http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages/BigBags.aspx?SizeName=XLHope this helps!

I've experimented with different configurations. The salad kit and the sandwich kit both fit nicely (including the ice packs). With both of them it doesn't leave much room for anything else. The salad kit and the entree kit both fit too. Note - this is the medium bag, I'd guess only one kit would fit in the smaller bag. Don't let the size fool you - you can easily pack lunch and a couple of snacks. Note that a re-usable water bottle may not fit in the side pouches (mine is a tall 48 oz bottle and it doesn't fit) - a 16-22 oz regular water bottle does.

I take broccoli, celery, grapes, etc in my lunch almost every day and never use a fridge. If you use one or several ice packs you shouldn't have a problem. I recommend the "lunch box" brand of containers. They fit in here perfectly.

Use ziplock freezer bags to store - no freezing needed; cut n parts & place n separate bags to use as needed. It's wonderful!!! Enjoy!!!!

Even though it is pricey for a lunch bag - I love using this for myself and daughters lunches. We have the Rubbermaid lunchblox (containers with snap in icepacks) and they fit perfectly on the bottom (we store our entree/sandwich along with fruit and veggies). The top compartment fits the extra snacks. It is basically good if you have hot food and cold food and need to keep them separated. We use it also for School lunch on bottom and after school snacks on top.

Probably won't fit in a standard lunch bag, but can be carried in 6-pack-size cooler bag or plain plastic or tote bag. By itself it's much better than insulated bag which doesn't really seal. This has insulation top and bottom and the lid screws on tightly.
