Three meal prep boxes, small, medium and large, in a single set from Black+Blum. The bases are stainless steel and, unusually for steel containers, they are microwave safe: a lid-lock vent lets you heat food without taking the lid off, which cuts warm-up time and keeps the inside of the microwave clean. The vacuum-sealed lids are leak proof, so a full box travels in a bag without a paper towel underneath it.

Everyday use was clearly the design brief. The semi-transparent lid shows what is inside without opening, the steel base goes in the dishwasher, freezer and oven, the removable seals come out for proper cleaning, and the boxes nest inside each other for storage or stack when they are all in use. Breakfast, lunch, leftovers and oven-to-table meals are all covered by the same set.

For companies this lands well in wellbeing and healthy-eating initiatives, as a gift for office teams who bring lunch in, and in welcome packages for new employees. Food, retail and facility management brands use sets like this to support internal campaigns, and it is a credible client gift in a premium segment without being decorative.

The set arrives in a sleeve, which leaves room for your branding on both the packaging and the boxes themselves. MerchRepublic advises on the technique that survives dishwashing, produces a mock-up for approval, quotes bulk tiers and ships across the EU.
