The round shape is a deliberate reference to the very first lunch box Black+Blum ever made, styled to look like a ceramic bowl rather than a plastic container. At 19.8 cm across and 5.6 cm deep it holds a proper meal, and it looks like something you would eat from at home rather than at a desk.

Inside there is an inner container that separates two parts of a meal, plus a leak-proof sauce pot with a small garnish area built into its lid, so dressing goes on at the last moment and salad stays crisp. A stainless steel fork is included. Everything apart from the tritan lid is microwave and dishwasher safe, which is what makes it realistic for daily use in a shared office kitchen.

It is a natural fit for employers cutting single-use packaging in the canteen, for wellbeing campaigns that encourage staff to bring lunch, and for offices without catering where people eat at their desks. Health insurers and occupational health providers use it in member gifts, and food brands give it to customers as a way of putting their product into a daily routine. It also works as a new-starter gift alongside a bottle.

Print or engraving on the lid gives the largest visible area on the product. MerchRepublic produces it branded in green, packs it in its gift box and ships bulk orders throughout the EU on a single delivery or split across sites.
