PackIt Freezable Snack Box

Overview

A smaller sibling to PackIt's lunch box line, this snack box uses the same built-in EcoFreeze+ gel walls in a compact size meant for snacks, fruit, or a 12 oz drink.

The same gel-wall approach as PackIt's larger bags applies here at snack-box scale, so it still needs a full overnight freeze rather than an instant chill. Open it measures about 8 x 4 x 5 inches and it flattens to about 8 x 2.5 x 5 inches, which is the size difference that separates it from a full lunch box.

• EcoFreeze+ built-in gel walls
• Open size about 8 x 4 x 5 in
• Collapses to about 8 x 2.5 x 5 in
• BPA-free food-safe liner

Who it's for

Fits packing a few snacks, fruit, or a canned drink for a short outing rather than a full meal, and suits a backpack, gym bag, or diaper bag. Not sized for a full lunch, since it is built around snack-sized portions.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The built-in gel walls need an overnight freeze, laid flat, before they hold cold for hours the same way PackIt's larger bags do. Once frozen it expands to roughly 8 x 4 x 5 inches to hold snacks, fruit, or a 12 oz drink, then collapses back to about 8 x 2.5 x 5 inches for storage.
