The Munch Box Bag is a large lunch box that is super practical and packs so much in!

Featuring a double zipper that you can open only at the top for a quick grab of something on the move or fully open up to show off all inside. You can also use the open flap as a little placemat to keep your desk clean!

On the outside there are two elasticated side pockets – great for cups of coffee and water and on the back there is handy zipper pocket for keys/money/extra snacks! Use thermal interfacing to keep food hot or cold and you will find that everyone in the family wants one of these!
