What materials are used in your stainless steel lunch boxes and mealtime products?

Our lunch boxes and snack containers are made from high-quality 304 food-grade stainless steel and platinum-grade silicone. There is no plastic where your child's food touches, and all materials are carefully selected for durability, safety, and everyday performance.

Why choose a stainless steel lunch box over plastic?

Stainless steel is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb food odours, flavours, or stains over time. It's also exceptionally durable, highly recyclable, and designed to last for years without cracking, warping, or degrading like many plastic alternatives.

Why do you use platinum-grade silicone?

Some product features—such as leak-resistant seals, suction bases, lids, and straws—require flexibility to function properly. We use high-quality platinum-grade silicone because it is durable, food-safe, and designed to withstand years of everyday use while complementing the benefits of stainless steel.

Are your stainless steel lunch boxes and feeding products third-party tested?

Yes. Every Little K Company product is independently third-party tested and meets both Canadian (CCPSA) and U.S. (CPSIA) safety standards. We believe parents should feel confident in the materials that come into contact with their child's food.

Why is stainless steel a more sustainable choice?

Stainless steel is incredibly durable and designed to last for years, helping reduce the need to replace lunch gear season after season. It's also highly recyclable, making it a long-lasting choice for families looking to reduce waste.

Are your stainless steel lunch boxes leak-resistant?

Our lunch boxes are designed to be leak-resistant for thicker foods such as yogurt, hummus, dips, cottage cheese, and soft fruits. While they help prevent foods from mixing between compartments, they are not intended for thin liquids such as soups or salad dressings.

Can I pack yogurt, dips, and soft foods directly in the lunch box compartments?

Yes. Our leak-resistant design allows you to pack many everyday lunch foods directly into the compartments without needing multiple containers, helping simplify lunch packing and reduce waste.

Will foods stay separated in your bento-style lunch boxes?

Our thoughtfully designed compartments help keep foods separated throughout the school day, making it easier to pack balanced lunches and keeping picky eaters happy.

Do I need extra containers inside my child's lunch box?

Most families find they can pack a complete lunch directly in the lunch box. For foods that require additional separation, our stainless steel snack containers pair perfectly with our lunch collection.

Why do your lunch boxes have a removable silicone seal?

Unlike many lunch boxes with permanently attached seals, our removable platinum-grade silicone seal can be taken out for a deeper clean. This allows parents to clean, inspect, and dry the area underneath the seal where moisture can collect over time.

How do your lunch boxes help prevent hidden mold?

We recommend removing the seal regularly to allow for a thorough clean and complete drying before reinstalling. The removable seal design helps parents access areas that are often hidden in traditional lunch boxes.

Are your stainless steel lunch boxes dishwasher safe?

Yes. Both the stainless steel base and silicone components are dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple for busy families.

Will a stainless steel lunch box absorb smells or stains?

No. Stainless steel is naturally non-porous and won't absorb food odours, flavours, or stains, helping your lunch box stay fresh use after use.

Will your stainless steel lunch boxes fit in my child's lunch bag?

Our 2-compartment lunch boxes fit in most standard lunch bags. Our 5-compartment Medley™ lunch box fits lunch bags that are at least 10.25 inches wide.

Are your lunch boxes easy for kids to open?

Yes. Our lunch boxes are designed with little hands in mind, helping children build confidence and independence at mealtimes while keeping food secure throughout the day.

Are your stainless steel lunch boxes suitable for younger children?

Absolutely. From kindergarten through the school years, our products are designed to grow with your child and support independent eating.

Are compartment lunch boxes good for picky eaters?

Yes. Separate compartments help keep foods from touching, making meals more visually appealing and often encouraging children to eat a greater variety of foods.

Can I put my Little K Product in the microwave?

No. Because our lunch boxes are made from stainless steel, they should not be used in the microwave or oven. If you're packing warm foods, we recommend allowing them to cool slightly before packing and using an insulated food jar for meals that need to stay hot.

Will a stainless steel lunch box keep my child's food hot?

Our lunch boxes are not insulated thermoses, but stainless naturally helps retain food temperature better than many plastic containers. Warm foods packed in the morning will typically stay warmer longer than they would in plastic, making stainless steel a great option for leftovers, pasta, pancakes, and other foods that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature by lunchtime.

For foods that need to stay piping hot for several hours, we recommend using an insulated food jar.

How long do stainless steel lunch boxes last?

They're built to last for years. In fact, our own family's lunch boxes have been used daily for more than 5 years and still look almost new. Stainless steel is incredibly durable and designed to withstand everyday family life.

Why are your stainless steel lunch boxes priced this way?

We invest in premium materials, independent third-party testing, thoughtful design, and long-term durability while working hard to keep our products accessible for as many families as possible.

Do you use sustainable packaging?

Yes. We believe sustainability should extend beyond the products themselves. That's why all Little K Company orders are shipped using plastic-free, recyclable packaging whenever possible.

From durable stainless steel products designed to last for years to thoughtfully selected packaging materials, we're committed to helping families reduce waste one small change at a time.
