OMIEBOX Bento Box for Kids

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Hand wash with warm, soapy water and let everything dry completely.
Handwashing is best!
The high heat & harsh detergents used in dishwashers can damage OmieBox®.
Gentle hand washing keeps your OmieBox® in t ip top shape so you can enjoy it for a long time!
Install the lid seal to make your OmieBox® leakproof

To install:

Open your OmieBox® and f ind the groove running along the perimeter of the box.

Line up your seal with the groove and press it in lightly so it doesn’t fa ll out.

Close the box lid and latch it. Then using the palms of your hands, press down on the lid everywhere. Open the box and check that the lid seal is smooth and flat.

Check out the FAQ section of our website for a how-to video.

WHILE YOU’RE PACKING

Wet foods (soup, yogurt) go in the Thermos!
- First fi ll it with hot (or cold) water and let stand with lid off for 5 minutes. Then empty. Be careful with hot water’
- Twist the securing insert around the Thermos in a clockwise direction. Skip this step if you’re not planning to put the Thermos inside OmieBox®.
- To seal, hold the Thermos w ith one hand & the lid with your other hand. Twist the lid into the Thermos in a clockwise direction.
The side compartments are great for dry foods (crackers, carrot sticks) but you can pack moist items here too. Just make sure there’s< 1 tsp of liquid in each compartment.
To close OmieBox®, fold down the lid and latch it. Use the palms of your hands to push down on the box lid once it’s closed. This will activate the lid seal.
The divider is great for keeping peas away from carrots but its sub-sections are not leakproof.
Don’t put your OmieBox® in the microwave or freezer!

AFTER YOU’RE DONE

Always hand wash with non-abrasive sponge.
Be sure to remove the lid seal and gasket for cleaning everyday. They get icky if you miss this step. Make sure you let it dry completely before re-assembling.
Don’t forget to put on the gasket after cleaning! If the gasket isn’t installed, the Thermos will leak.
When not using, store OmieBox® without lid seal.

OMIEBOX STORY

When founder Nancy Yen’s son started preschool, he decided to stop eating lunch. A picky eater who ranked in the lowest percentiles for weight and height, he refused to touch his lunch unless it was warm – like the lunches he was used to at home.
Nancy searched high and low for a container that could pack hot lunch (plus it had to store cold food and be easy to use!). When she couldn’t find anything, she decided to create it herself. What began as an invention of necessity is now OmieBox® – one of the most highly recognizable & best selling bento boxes for kids in the world.
