Lunchtime Hero
We’ve been there. You’ve made it to lunch time and are ready to enjoy that meal you spent time preparing the night before, but the plastic takeaway container you used to transport your homemade lunch has leaked in your bag. Now instead of a delicious meal you’re reaching for a towel to clean it all up. Enter, with fanfare, the Lunchbox Plus, designed to keep your pre-prepped meals (and everything else in your bag) safe. The durable metal exterior and closure system will protect the contents when you’re on the go and can also double up for use as a mess tin. It’s available in two sizes, and although the metal container isn’t suitable for the microwave, SIGG have thought of this as well and included a smart little microwave and dishwasher safe insert so you can still enjoy a piping hot lunch with minimum clean up.
- Designed in Switzerland
- Made from durable metal, designed to withstand dings and dents from being carried in your work, school or hiking bag
- Comes with a microwave safe polypropylene insert and divider ideal for preventing different elements of your meal from mixing during transport
- BPA-free and food safe
- Easy to clean and dishwasher safe

Today, aluminium is ubiquitous, the stuff of Coke cans and kitchen foil. But at the dawn of the twentieth century, it was regarded as a wonder metal: the material of the future. Lightweight and durable, it would be used in cutting-edge tech from aeroplanes and automobiles to spacecraft. In Switzerland in 1908, Ferdinand Sigg was a classic ‘early adopter’ of this incredible metal, deciding to build his fledgling manufacturing business around aluminium.
It proved a shrewd move. By 1958, the SIGG company was producing more than 10,000 household products, all made from aluminium. But it was the humble SIGG water bottle that would become a Swiss design icon. The Traveller bottle, with its distinctive silhouette and rugged yet lightweight build, proved a perfect companion for outdoor adventures and everyday life.
It became the foundation of SIGG’s entire product range, which today encompasses everything from gym-ready sports bottles to leakproof lunchboxes and high-performance thermo flasks. And as we’ve all become more eco-conscious, so too has the Swiss brand, ensuring its products are free from harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, whilst also using recycled aluminium and plastics as well as bio-based renewable materials. Which will only make your beverage of choice – chilled water, hot coffee or anything else – taste even better. Now that’s refreshing, in every sense.
