Branded lunch boxes for companies: what they cost and how to choose
A lunch box with your logo costs from €9.30 per unit, including printing. Branded lunch boxes for an internal campaign are not the same as ones used every day for lunch at the office or on the move. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real options, and what to check before you order: material, closure, capacity and branding.
How much does a branded lunch box cost?
Price per unit with your logo in one colour in the standard print area, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price falls as quantity increases because the print setup is spread across more units.

For large distributions and internal campaigns
When you need a high volume, the key things are unit price, low weight and a lid that is easy to brand. This is where polypropylene or recycled plastic custom lunch boxes fit well, with pad printing or UV digital printing on the lid and formats designed for simple everyday use.
Do not choose the capacity by guesswork. A light lunch and a full meal need different sizes, and a small lid will not take a long logo with a slogan. If people will also heat food in the office, check the product page to see whether the base and lid are microwave safe.

If the lunch box will stay on a desk or in the office fridge, it is worth stepping up the comfort. This is where models with several compartments, branded cutlery or better fastening fit well, along with branded bento boxes or jars that keep lunch and snacks separate more neatly.
A common mistake is forgetting the context of use. Anyone eating out will appreciate cutlery or an insulated bag; anyone eating in the office will prioritise microwave and dishwasher use. If you want to complete the set, pair it with a drinks bottle or a reusable cup.

When the lunch box needs to last for years and stand up to heavier use, the material matters most. In the premium range, stainless steel, insulated double-wall containers and glass models with a bamboo lid are strong options, with laser engraving on the lid or side for a smart, hard-wearing finish.
Here it pays to look beyond the external size. On insulated models, the double wall reduces capacity, and with glass it is worth thinking about how it will be carried. If you want a consistent eco merchandise range, also look at the recycled steel models.
