Back To School With PACKIT
(Keep Those Lunches Fresh & Cool!)
Remember my Beach Day & Summer Essentials Round Up from earlier this summer? Well, I was introduced to the PACKIT brand for that, and let me tell you; it’s been a complete game changer! I have been using my PackIt bags NON-STOP this summer. As a matter of fact, I just got home today from a trip to the zoo with my PACKIT Freezable Market Tote!
PACKIT is best known for inventing reusable, foldable lunch bags and boxes with built-in, patented freezable gel technology. Instead of having to remember (or make room for) separate ice packs, the cooling gel is actually built right into the walls of the bag. You simply fold the bag flat, pop it into the freezer overnight, and pack it in the morning. So quick and easy, and you’re ready to go. I am completely smitten!
And here’s something funny I’ve discovered this summer: I don’t actually hate sandwiches like I thought! I actually only hate warm, soggy sandwiches. For years, I had gotten to the point where I rarely wanted to pack sandwiches for outings. By lunchtime, they just weren’t appealing anymore. But every sandwich/meal I’ve packed in our PACKIT bags this summer has stayed fresh, cool, and delicious. Even when it’s been HOURS since we left home! Our food still tastes like something I actually want to eat.
Now that a new school year is starting and our homeschool co-op season is gearing up, I’m excited to add a couple new PACKIT products to our collection. So, whether you’re packing lunches for school, daycare, work, field trips, sports, or family adventures, these are some great options to check out.
Freezable Friends Lunch Box
How CUTE are these?! The PACKIT Freezable Friends Lunch Box takes the convenience of PACKIT’s built-in cooling technology and puts it into a kid-friendly design that’s actually fun for little ones to carry. Freezable Friends are currently available in four playful designs: Dog, Unicorn, Fox, and Truck. So whether you’ve got an animal lover, a unicorn fan, or a kid who can’t get enough of vehicles, there’s an option they’ll be excited to bring along.
Each Freezable Friends Lunch Box includes an adjustable, removable crossbody strap, making it easy for kids to carry hands-free. There’s also a top handle for quickly grabbing it on the way out the door. The fun 3D front zippered pocket adds personality while also giving kids a spot for small essentials, and there’s a side mesh pocket that’s handy for a drink. And there’s even a name tag to help make sure the lunch box finds its way back home.
Freezable Upright Lunch Box: ECOFREEZE+ Collection
While the Freezable Friends Lunch Box is geared toward the kiddos, the PACKIT Freezable Upright Lunch Box is a fantastic option for older kids, teens, parents, teachers, or anyone packing a larger lunch for a busy day. This bag features PACKIT’s newer ECOFREEZE+ Technology, which incorporates three layers designed to provide additional insulation, protection, and durability.
One of my favorite features is the shape. The upright structure makes it easy to organize food without everything getting jumbled together. When open, the bag measures approximately 8.25″L x 5.5″W x 9.25″H, while folding down to about 3 inches wide for easier freezer storage. It also includes a leak-proof welded liner, removable and adjustable crossbody strap, front slip pocket, and side mesh pocket. The food-safe liner is BPA-free, and cleanup is simple; just wipe the interior clean and spot clean the exterior as needed.
Mod Large Bento Food Storage Container
The PackIt Mod Large Bento Food Storage Container immediately caught my attention. It’s much more customizable than your typical bento box. Instead of permanently divided compartments, the Mod Large Bento includes two removable dividers that slide and snap into grooves inside the container. That means you get to decide how much room each part of your meal needs.
This isn’t a tiny snack container, either. The Mod Large Bento holds up to 8 cups of food and measures approximately 11″L x 8″W x 2.75″H. The removable dividers are designed to help separate thick liquids and solid foods. And the leak-resistant locking lid helps prevent spills. The crystal-clear Tritan base is also shatter resistant. Even better, PACKIT designed this container with everyday convenience in mind. It’s freezer safe, top-rack dishwasher safe, and microwave safe. Just be sure to remove the lid before reheating.
Final Thoughts On Adding PACKIT To Our Back To School Gear
Before trying PACKIT, I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate having the cooling system built directly into my lunch bag. It sounds like such a simple thing. But after an entire summer of actually using these bags, I don’t want to go back to traditional lunch sacks and separate ice packs. Back-to-school season means getting back into routines, and lunches are definitely a big part of that. So, whether you’re sending little ones off to daycare or school, packing for homeschool co-op, or trying to make your own workday lunches easier; having the right gear can make a surprising difference.
After putting PACKIT to the test all summer long, I can confidently say these products have earned a permanent place in our family’s on-the-go routine. And they’ll also be getting plenty of use this school year, too! I highly suggest you check out PACKIT for a simple, effective solution to lunch packing.
