The PlanetBox Shuttle represents a shift toward long-term material sustainability, utilizing high-gauge 304 stainless steel rather than polymer plastics. This professional-grade system is designed for durability, with a service life that often spans several years of daily use. The chassis is formed through a specialized molding process that creates rounded edges, which helps reduce the risk of stress points or corrosion over time.
This compact unit is divided into two main compartments with a total capacity of approximately 3.5 cups, making it an efficient choice for snacks or small meals. Because it is made of metal, it provides a natural thermal mass that helps keep food at a consistent temperature longer than thin-walled plastic containers. The friction-fit hinge is an integrated part of the frame, removing the need for separate plastic latches that might snap under pressure.
The medical-grade silicone gasket is designed to create a reliable seal for viscous items like hummus, though the unit is not intended for thin liquids such as soup.
- The 100% stainless steel construction ensures no plastic-to-food contact.
- The single-latch closure system is designed for streamlined opening and closing.
- High-temperature dishwasher cycles do not affect the structural integrity or shape of the steel body.
