FAQ: Elephant Box Lunchware & Containers

Which Elephant Box lunchbox is the most durable for daily use?

The most durable Elephant Box lunchbox for daily use is the original Elephant Box. Made from food-grade 304 stainless steel, it shrugs off knocks, drops, and daily rough handling with ease. Its sturdy single-piece body and tough clip closures keep things simple and secure. Dishwasher safe and rust-resistant, it’s a tweak-free alternative to flimsy plastic. It even comes with a lifetime guarantee, so you know it’s in it for the long haul. Learn more about how we research the most durable, buy-it-for-life products.

How do I clean and care for my stainless steel Elephant Box?

To clean your stainless steel Elephant Box, simply use warm soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher. It’s a low-fuss bit of kit, but avoid harsh scouring pads to keep the finish looking sharp. Dry it off thoroughly to prevent water spots – although they’re no bother beyond appearance. A quick polish now and then with baking soda or vinegar will keep it gleaming.

Can Elephant Box containers hold liquids without leaking?

Some Elephant Box containers can hold liquids without leaking, but not all are leakproof. Look out for those with silicone seals, like their snack pods or sauce pots – they’re ideal for dressings, dips, or yoghurt. The classic lunchboxes, though, are best kept for dry snacks and sandwiches. If you’re planning to pack soup, opt for a container specifically designed for liquids.

Are Elephant Box products safe for kids and school lunches?

Yes, Elephant Box products are safe for kids and school lunches. Made with food-safe, BPA-free stainless steel and no dodgy plastics, they won’t leach chemicals, even when warmed. They’re easy to clean, naturally hygienic, and tough enough to survive being chucked into a school bag. A solid pick for packed lunches with fewer spills and far less plastic.

Do Elephant Box flasks and cups keep drinks hot or cold for long?

Elephant Box flasks and cups keep drinks hot or cold for long periods, thanks to double-walled vacuum insulation. Your morning brew stays warm for up to 12 hours, and cold drinks stay chilled for a full 24. Perfect for hikes, commutes, or just pottering about. The durable stainless steel and leakproof lids make them a smart, long-term choice.

Are these lunchboxes dishwasher safe and easy to clean?

Yes, Elephant Box lunchboxes are dishwasher safe and wonderfully easy to clean. Made from high-grade stainless steel, they won’t stain or hold on to smells like plastic ones. There’s no faff with fiddly bits unless you’ve got a leakproof version with seals. A quick wash by hand works nicely too – no special treatment needed to keep them looking sharp.

Where are Elephant Box products made and how ethical are they?

Elephant Box products are responsibly made in India, where stainless steel manufacturing is top-notch. The brand partners with factories that follow strict ethical standards – think fair pay, good conditions, and zero shady practices. Every product is plastic-free, fully recyclable, and built to last, with lifetime guarantees on key items. Sustainability isn’t just window dressing here, it’s baked in.
