Choose the Bento 4 if...
The Bento 4 is our most versatile stainless steel lunchbox and is ideal for children with bigger appetites or families who like packing a wide variety of lunches. With the largest overall capacity, it's perfect for sandwiches, wraps, pasta, salads and leftovers while still providing separate compartments for fruit, snacks and treats.
It's a fantastic option from Kindergarten through to Year 6 or 7, and many families continue using it well into high school thanks to its generous size.
The Bento 4 is the best choice if you:
- Want the largest and most versatile lunchbox.
- Pack sandwiches, wraps or leftovers regularly.
- Need larger portion sizes.
- Want a lunchbox that will grow with your child.
Choose the Bento 5 if...
The Bento 5 is designed for children who love variety. Its five compartments keep food separate, making it ideal for picky eaters or children who enjoy a colourful mix of fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, yoghurt and other snacks.
Although it has slightly less overall capacity than the Bento 4, the additional compartment allows for better organisation and food separation.
The Bento 5 is the best choice if you:
- Pack lots of different snacks each day.
- Want maximum food separation.
- Have a child who prefers foods not to touch.
- Love creating colourful, balanced lunchboxes.
It's generally ideal from preschool through to Year 5 or 6, when growing appetites may begin to outgrow some of the individual compartment sizes.
Choose the Bento Go if...
The Bento Go is not designed as a full lunchboxโit's the perfect companion for snacks. Lightweight and compact, it's ideal for Crunch & Sip, recess, after-school activities, sport, travel, excursions or keeping healthy snacks in the car.
Many families pair the Bento Go with a Bento 4 or Bento 5 to create the ultimate school lunch setup.
The Bento Go is the best choice if you:
- Need a dedicated snack box.
- Want a Crunch & Sip solution.
- Need something compact and lightweight for sport or travel.
- Already own a Bento 4 or Bento 5 and want an additional snack container.
It's suitable from toddler years through to primary school and remains useful for older children and adults wanting convenient snacks on the go.
Still Unsure?
If you're looking for the most versatile lunchbox, choose the Bento 4.
If your child enjoys lots of variety and separate compartments, the Bento 5 is likely the better option.
If you simply need snacks, Crunch & Sip or something compact for sport and travel, the Bento Go is the perfect addition.
No matter which you choose, every Oli Eve lunchbox is made from premium 18/8 stainless steel, is BPA-free, dishwasher safe, features a removable silicone seal for easy cleaning, and can be permanently personalised with laser engravingโcreating a lunchbox that's built to last for years of everyday adventures.
