Save yourself money by taking a packed lunch to work or school. These are our tried-and-tested, leakproof lunchboxes.

BEST LEAKPROOF DESIGN

Tala Push & Push lunchbox £3.49 amazon.co.uk

The lid locks tightly in place and only opens when both of the push tabs are pressed at the same time, making it 100% leakproof. If you hate it when salad dressing gets all over your fork, then this lunchbox is ideal as the recyclable cutlery has its own compartment inside the lid. The box is a good size for a large portion of pasta, salad, or leftovers. Available in different sizes.

BEST LAYOUT

Lakeland double decker collapsible lunchbox

£19.99 lakeland.co.uk

Ideal for anyone looking to save a bit of space in their bag or Tupperware cupboard, this box can slot neatly in your bag when lunch is finished. The lid comes complete with a hidden cutlery compartment as well as a dressings pot. Worth the investment if you tend to travel with more than one meal as both your breakfast and lunch can fit inside. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe.

BEST FOR KEEPING CHILLED

Bobble Box £10.79 houseoffraser.co.uk

Do you worry that your lunch won’t stay fresh without a fridge? Enter the Bobble Box. This range of lunchboxes has a miniature ice block that clips into the lid, meaning that food – like a crisp salad, chilled meats, or cheese – stays cooler for longer. It’s not the easiest to clean and requires a lot of dismantling, but it’s worth it. It’s leakproof and can be used in the microwave, too.

BEST SPACE SAVER

Joseph Joseph Goeat lunchbox

£16 johnlewis.com

One of the slickest designs we tested, this box is ideal if you’re a bit restricted on space. It’s large enough for your lunch but small enough to tuck inside a backpack or handbag. This box passed our leak test and, despite different foods being kept closely together, nothing spilled. It can be easily washed by hand, but it’s also dishwasher safe.
