CARE INSTRUCTIONS Your child's new bento box has been thoughtfully designed by our team with you and your child in mind. We have a few tips to help keep their lunch fresh all day and to care for the box. Take care not to overfill compartments. Leave a small gap from the top to allow the seals to do their job. Wet foods like thick yoghurts, sauces and dips will stay in any of the four main compartments right next to bread, crunchy vegetables or crackers. However, avoid putting thin liquids like soups, runny yoghurt, watery dressings and sauces in the box. They will escape. The two small removable tray compartments are not spillage proof and should be used for solid foods only. CLEANING The removable inner tray and inner lid is safe on the top rack of the dishwasher. Handwash the outer box to preserve the leakproof seal. Wash with a soft brush, detergent and water. Clean the bento box soon after use to avoid discolouration. HEATING The inner tray is microwave safe but is the only part you should place in the microwave. Gently reheat food in the inner tray on a low setting for a maximum of 3 minutes. Do not put the outer box in the microwave. There are metal parts in the hinges.

About Spencil:

We put a lot of thought into what makes kids happy, thriving little human beings… the confidence to be themselves, connection to love and belonging, a sense of wonder about and enthusiasm for the natural world, friendships, feeling capable and validated for who they are.

We think about the things occupying your mind because, like you, we’re parents. We’re a family business located in the hills of Pine Mountain in South East Queensland, where we balance planning how to make your and your kids’ world a brighter, kinder, more connected place… with school pick-ups, sports days and play dates.

We’re parents who are building a brand by talking to and listening to other parents about their needs and what they want for their kids.

We’re continually adapting and evolving but some things (our core beliefs) will always remain.

We reject and rail against the idea of ‘exclusive’ kids brands that can be used for status. At Spencil, we strive to foster ‘inclusivity’. We price our range to be as affordable as we can and we make products to last.

We celebrate diversity and individual differences by providing a range of styles that, hopefully, offer something uplifting to every child.

We love collaborating with our customers and want to hear your ideas (One mum said her kid suggested sloths. Love it! Stay tuned; they’ll be here in their own good time).

As for ‘using a brand for status’, it’s everything we are not. We have intentionally reduced the size and shifted the position of our Spencil badge to make it less prominent. It’s our reminder to ourselves about what we will never want to be.

Disappointed when I unpacked my order and discovered that it is actually pink. It looks lavender in some of the photos and with the name "Big Bento Box - Purple" I mistakenly assumed it would actually be purple.

Not so big; be sure to over-guesstimate the packing space you require and consider whether the product dimensions are fit for purpose before you buy... Bento boxes aren't cheap so I feel like it's fair to have high expectations of the practicality and versatility they offer. Pros: The quality of this Bento Box is great, I have no complaints about that. It's made of LEGO-grade plastic, is easily cleaned, available in a good selection of attractive colours, and I can see this product lasting years IF it suits the buyer's needs. Cons: The shallow storage and configuration are limiting to the point of frustrating inefficiency UNLESS the food prepper is a determined bento maven committed to buying or slicing and dicing everything with mathematical precision. Crackers, for example; rice crackers would probably be OK, but the fixed compartments are too shallow to pack Clix/Jatz/Water crackers vertically without crushing them. Stacking them is even less efficient. The larger compartment is fine for a single sandwich, but the removable dual-compartment insert creates problems... stacking halves or packing vertically up doesn't work for Tip Top 'the One' dimensions. (The loaf pictured is in toast slices, but sandwich slices only need to be squished a little bit less) The central semicircular dip compartment as a fixed feature dramatically detracts from the box's versatility. I understand it's about the seal, (which cuts the interior height down by about 3mm), but switching up the configuration for either 2 or 3 fixed rectangular compartments with a separate sealable insert would be more useful, as opposed to the more desirably configured removable dual compartment insert that's even further robbed of precious depth by the doubled thickness of stacked bases. The groove that indents the outer base all the way around is another hindrance to the 'packability' of this design. I most definitely should have researched the specs more carefully before making my purchases, I do realise this! I bought a Big Lunch Bag for my eldest at the start of the year and I've been impressed with its design; I think on some level I was counting on the corresponding container making more effective use of the bag's roomy interior than it does.

The size of the bento is not as generous as others on the market, and not fully waterproof. Will be great if you do a lot of food prep-cutting fruit up etc due to the pokey compartment sizes. Really limited if you wanted to make a quick lunchbox. Seems like there’s a lot of space wasted in the design. Easy opening for little fingers.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your feedback on our big bento box design. We are very sorry to hear that it wasn't all you were hoping for. We're sorry to hear that the compartment sizes on our big bento are adding unnecessary stress to your lunch prep. This was not at all our intention - we are all for a quick and easy lunchbox, so this is definitely information we will take on board when we look at improving this product. In terms of being waterproof, our current leak-proof seals are not ideal for thin liquid foods. We are truly sorry to hear that this is causing an issue for you. Once again we will be taking your feedback on board to improve this product. In all of this, we are very glad to hear our clasp design is working perfectly for your little one. Our products can only be made greater with awesome feedback like this. So, thank you so much for your detailed review - rest assured it is invaluable to our team and product development.
