Retro Lunch Box LB101

There is nothing quite like a metal lunch box with your favorite cartoon character on it to stir up some childhood nostalgia. Bonus points if you managed to snag a matching thermos. Metal lunch boxes used to be a back-to-school fashion statement and a mealtime competition. (If you didn’t have a Star Wars lunch box, what were you doing?!) While we are no longer rushing around to find the coolest lunch box to carry our day-old lasagna in, they are still incredibly fresh and functional. It’s time to trade up your pudding cup because retro lunch boxes are finding new life on the shelves of breweries and coffee shops.

The craft beverage industry is finding ways to repurpose our old favorites into new and exciting ways to promote their brands. The customizable box can be retailed as a packaged gift set reserved for your loyal supporters. Alosta Brewing Co. of Covina California offers three different lunch box styles. One sports Alosta’s logo, while the other two feature its most popular beer styles, the Sally Blonde Ale, and the Highway 39 Lager. Inside you can find a t-shirt and a crowler or your choice of two 16 ounce tall boys. Your childhood pastime meets your adulthood hobbies.

Not only can you customize your lunch box, but you can also choose exactly what you want to go in it. Make it 100% your brand and your style. Don’t know where to start? Not to fear. We created a list of recommendations. Size tested, Grandstand approved. You’re welcome.
