The Jelife Large Bento is designed for older children and adults who need a higher food volume than standard "kids" models. It utilizes a dual-material construction with a rigid ABS plastic outer shell and a Food-Grade Polypropylene inner tray. This combination offers a high volume-to-weight ratio, though the extra capacity does mean the box weighs approximately 1.1 lbs when empty. The 2.2mm wall thickness helps provide moderate thermal insulation for up to two hours.
Specifications indicate that the sealing mat is made of Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). This mat is removable for thorough cleaning, which is essential for preventing mold if any moisture remains. To protect the integrity of the TPR seals, it is mandatory to use the top rack only if cleaning in a dishwasher. The pin-less hinge design relies on the natural flex of the plastic; it functions best when the tray is not overfilled, which can put pressure on the latches.
The box includes removable dividers, providing versatility for different meal types. Because the hinges and seals are the most active parts of the container, handling them with care will extend the life of the unit. Features include:
- 1300ml capacity for substantial meals.
- ABS outer shell for impact resistance.
- Customizable compartment layout with removable dividers.
If you prefer a stainless steel interior to avoid plastic food contact entirely, the Planetbox Rover provides a high-durability alternative made from 304 stainless steel.
