Packing Kids Lunches with Stasher 2-Pack: Quick Tips

Quick answer

Use the Stasher Kid's Lunch 2-Pack (sandwich bag + snack bag) to pack school lunches in under 5 minutes. Fill the large bag with a sandwich or main item, the small bag with fruit or dry snacks, and seal each with the Pinch-Loc® closure for a leakproof, waste-free lunch.

5 steps to pack a lunch with the Stasher 2-Pack

1. Step 1: Choose your bags: Use the sandwich bag for the main item (sandwich, wrap, bagel, or leftovers) and the snack bag for sides (fruit, crackers, veggie sticks, or dry cereal). If you pack a wet item like yogurt or applesauce, double-check the seal is fully closed. Common mistake: putting a wet item in the snack bag without sealing it properly can cause leaks. Always press the Pinch-Loc® seal shut from one end to the other.
2. Step 2: Prep and fill: Open the bag by pinching the top edges and pulling apart. Fill the sandwich bag with your child's main dish. For the snack bag, add a portion of fruit, nuts, or dry snacks. Avoid overfilling – leave about an inch of space at the top so the seal can close completely. Checkpoint: if the bag is too full, the seal may not hold. Remove one item if needed.
3. Step 3: Seal securely: Press the Pinch-Loc® seal closed by running your fingers along the groove from left to right. Listen for a click or feel the seal lock. For extra security, hold the bag upside down over the sink to test the seal. Common mistake: not pressing the seal all the way. A partially sealed bag can leak during transport.
4. Step 4: Pack in the lunchbox: Place the sealed sandwich bag flat at the bottom of the lunchbox. Put the snack bag on top or in a side compartment. Add an ice pack if you're packing perishable items like cheese, yogurt, or meat. The bags are not insulated, so cold items need a cold source. Checkpoint: if your child's lunchbox has no ice pack slot, tuck a small ice pack next to the sandwich bag.
5. Step 5: After lunch – rinse and reuse: Empty leftovers, rinse the bags with warm soapy water, and place them in the dishwasher (top rack) or hand wash. The silicone is non-stick, so most food rinses off easily. Dry the bags upside down or with a clean towel. They are ready to use again the next day. Common mistake: putting the bags in the dishwasher with the seal facing down can trap water. Place them seal-side up or on the top rack with the seal open.
