Stainless Steel Food Containers & Lunch Boxes | Australia

Our current food storage range includes a 2-compartment stainless steel snack container available in four colours, a leak-proof stainless steel sandwich box, leak-proof dip pot sets, a stainless steel lunch box, an all-in-one oven and microwave-safe food storage and meal prep container sets and snack box sets. All products are made from food-grade 304 stainless steel and LFGB Silicone, and are BPA-free, phthalate-free, and dishwasher safe. We are Australian-owned and ship nationwide from Melbourne.

Yes. Food-grade 304 stainless steel is one of the most chemically stable food contact materials available. It does not react with acidic foods like citrus, tomatoes or vinegar-based dressings under normal use conditions. It does not leach chemicals into food when used at room temperature or in the fridge. It contains no BPA, phthalates, coatings or dyes. The one practical note: not all stainless steel is suitable for use in a microwave oven. Our upcoming microwave-safe food storage range uses specific materials and a uniquely engineered design rated for microwave use and will be clearly labelled with usage instructions.

The 2-compartment bento snack container is designed for portability. It is compact, lightweight and fits into a school bag, work bag or any standard lunch box. The two compartments keep snacks separated, so dips stay away from crackers, and fruit does not bleed onto cheese. It is ideal for morning tea, after-school snacks and on-the-go eating.

The nesting food storage set of three is designed for fridge and kitchen storage as well as transport. The three containers nest inside each other for compact storage, and their leak-resistant glass-like silicone lids make them suitable for soups, sauces, nuts and cut fruits. They work as both small meal prep containers and as an everyday food storage system that replaces plastic Tupperware.

Our current stainless steel food containers (Nesting set and Snack box) are not suitable for microwave or oven use. Stainless steel reflects microwave energy and should never go in a microwave, and our current lids are not rated for oven temperatures. They are, however, freezer safe and fridge safe, and work well for cold storage and transport.

The full oven-to-freezer-to-fridge-to-microwave-to-table system is exactly what our upcoming food storage range is being designed around. Our new containers will feature glass lids with silicone seals and vents rated for microwave and oven use, meaning you can prep and store in the same container, move it from the freezer to the fridge to defrost overnight, reheat directly in the microwave or oven the next day, and bring it straight to the table. One container. Zero transfers. No reheating in plastic.

It is the kind of system that sounds simple, but most kitchenware brands do not deliver because it requires every component, the container body, the lid, and the seal, to be specifically engineered and rated for the full temperature range. We are building it that way from the start, so it'll be the only container you'll even need.

Our nesting food storage containers feature leak-resistant silicone lids designed to create a secure seal for everyday fridge storage and transport. They handle most foods, including soups and liquids, well under normal conditions. Our 2-compartment snack container is leak-resistant for dips and moist foods at the compartment level.
As with all food containers, we recommend carrying them upright rather than on their side for best results with liquid-heavy contents. Our upcoming lunch box range is being designed specifically with leak-proof seals and will be clearly rated when it launches.

Yes. A 650 ml stainless steel lunch box with a leak-proof dip pot is available to purchase now. Pairing it with our 2-compartment snack container works exceptionally well as a complete lunch and snack kit.

The best reusable snack container for school is one that fits standard Australian lunch bags, survives daily dishwasher cycles and does not absorb the smell of Monday's snack by Friday. Our 2-compartment stainless steel snack container meets all three. It is sized to fit most Australian school lunch bags and is a direct replacement for single-use zip-lock bags, cheese & cracker packs and plastic snack containers. The two compartments handle the classic school snack combination: crackers and dip, fruit and cheese, veggies and hummus. Available in four colours to last the full week.

Yes. All Greenvyne stainless steel food containers are dishwasher safe. The stainless steel body can go on either rack, but the top rack is recommended for small containers. The silicone and glass lids are also dishwasher safe, but last longer with top-rack placement. If you live in a hard water area, dry the containers and silicone with a cloth immediately after the cycle to prevent water spotting on the surface. Mild/Eco dishwasher detergent is recommended, but standard detergent is also fine. Our containers are designed for daily dishwasher use over years of regular meals.

For most households, food-grade stainless steel is the most practical long-term choice. Here is how it compares honestly.

Plastic degrades. It scratches, stains from tomato sauce and turmeric,
absorbs odours, and eventually leaches plasticisers into food, particularly when heated or scratched. Even BPA-free plastic carries other plasticiser concerns that are still being researched. And then there are the lids. Plastic lids warp in the dishwasher, crack at the hinge, stop sealing properly, and send you back to the shops for replacements. Most people end up with a drawer of containers and a separate pile of lids that no longer match anything.

Glass is a better material than plastic for chemical safety, and it is microwave-safe, which most stainless steel is not. But glass is heavy, genuinely fragile and not practical for anything that moves. Packing a glass container into a school, work bag, or hiking pack introduces real breakage risk. And the irony of most glass container systems: they come with plastic lids. Those lids stain, warp, crack and mismatch over time, just like any other plastic lid, which means you end up with the same drawer problem you were trying to solve.

Food-grade 304 stainless steel is non-porous, completely inert, unbreakable under normal conditions and does not change with age or use. It does not stain. It does not smell. The lids are made to stay matched to their container. Not all stainless steel containers are microwave-safe, which is a genuine limitation worth knowing about upfront. But for fridge storage, packed cold lunches, snacks, and anything you are transporting, it outperforms both plastic and glass on durability, hygiene and long-term value.

If oven and microwave-safe storage is something you need, our upcoming range of food storage containers with glass lids is being designed specifically for that use case and will be available in the coming months.

Partially, it depends on what you mean by meal prep.

Our current set of three nesting stainless steel containers comes in 110ml, 220ml and 400ml. Those sizes are genuinely useful for a range of everyday storage jobs: baby food portions, small soups and broths, condiments, dips, leftover pasta, sauces, snack-sized quantities of nuts or fruit, and small fridge items you want to keep separate and sealed. They nest inside each other when empty, which makes them compact and tidy to store.

What they are not is large enough for batch cooking or full meal prep in the traditional sense. A 400ml container holds roughly a single adult serve of pasta or rice. If you are prepping meals for multiple days or multiple people, you will run out of capacity quickly.

Our new microwave and oven-safe food storage containers with glass lids are designed for proper meal prep use. Larger capacities that are microwave- and oven-rated, and a system built around the reality of cooking in bulk and reheating through the week. They will work alongside the nesting containers and lunch boxes rather than replacing them: one system for on-the-go and small storage, one for the fridge and oven.
