Modern, attractive lunch totes are insulated, available in colorful designs, and offer comfort in carrying lunch to work or school.

A compact lunch bag tote is seen in a vast array of designs (neoprene, poly woven tarp, denier-fabric or nylon), styles (colors or patterns), and sizes to accommodate most tastes. Lunch cooler bags of this nature insulate for 2 – 4-hours - dependent on the outside temperature, and that is often-sufficient time to transfer from fridge at home to fridge at place of work.

Lunch totes in a soft, stretchable material are ideal to pack with a variety of delicious, healthy, fresh foods for eating on the go - although if those foods themselves aren’t packed within a solid container, it could be quite easy to squash. A small-sized tote is perfect for sandwiches to one or two pieces of fruit, while those larger lunch cooler bags are perfect to accept a full-day’s supply of sandwiches, fruits, vegetables or snacks.

Some of the popular lunch totes include those manufactured by Built NY –

• The Built NY Gourmet Getaway, comes in neoprene (same material as a dive suit), with a choice of styles (rainbow flower, shadow flower, vine, and multi dot), and in a size larger than a more traditional lunch tote to be filled with delicious treats. This lunch carrier retails at $27.99 – with dimensions: 12½ x 6¾ x 11½-inch.

• The Built NY Neoprene Tasty Lunch Tote, in a choice of two styles (plain black or multi-colored with Micro Dot pattern) is a perfectly sized for transporting those tasty lunches, with its stain-resistant material, ability to insulate for up to 4 hours, and retails at $21.99 – with dimensions: 10½ x 5¾ x 12-inch.

Common features to an insulated lunch bag include zip closure – with an ability to fold flat for storage, a stain-resistant material, soft grip handles – and adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable and easy transporting, and some totes even offer an interior pocket for securing hand wipes, cutlery, or seasonings.

The reusable and insulated lunch containers offer a perfect solution to eliminate the waste, and expense that often comes with replying on plastic or paper throwaway sacks.

All in all, a functional insulated lunch tote is perfect to keep a light lunchtime snack cold (such as a salad cool) or hot (such as pasta warm), for a number of hours. Avoid the temptation of unhealthy fast-food snacks or the cost of expensive restaurants, with the ability to eat healthy and transport home cooked meals in style.
