Which Lunch Box Is Right For Me? Mini CrunchBox vs. OG CrunchBox

In 2023, our 7th Year at Seed & Sprout, we launched our little version of the iconic CrunchBox ("the OG").  We developed the Mini CrunchBox based on customer feedback - thank you!! 

 

We get asked a LOT, what is the difference between the two & which version is best for me (or my family)?  This kinda choice is suuuuupppper personal, but I'm going to provide some tips that may help with your decision.    Let's us know your feedback via Insta or hello@seedandsprout.com

CrunchBox OG LunchBox Stainless Steel

Let's start with the differences between The CrunchBox OG & The Mini CrunchBox. 

 

Step 1 - Space Comparison

We offer a LOT of options for lunchware accessories, the combinations are literally endless.  When it comes to CrunchBoxes - let's start with dimensions: 

Height Width Depth Weight
OG CrunchBox (minus Pots)  25 cms  21 cms  4.5 cms  665 grams
Mini CrunchBox  22 cms  14.5 cms  4.5 cms  475 grams

 

Main difference is the width & weight, the height & depths are quite similar.  Mini CrunchBox is well, spoiler alert, a Mini version with 6.5 cms less width.  Depending on what your "go to" lunches are - you might have a preference straight away. 

 

Step 2 - Configuration 

CrunchBox has 4 compartments whilst Mini CrunchBox has 2 compartments.

Step 3 - Capacity

CrunchBox comes with 4 areas to store food with the possibility of adding 2 or 3 pots into these compartments.  You can choose between a 2 Pot & 3 Pot version for CrunchBox.   

  • 2 Pot Set Round Pot 50ml capacity & Rectangular pot 100ml capacity
  • CrunchPot: 375ml capacity

CrunchBox Lunch Solutions

Pots can be purchased with the CrunchBox or separately.  The Snack Containers Set is soo popular - sometimes you just need a little more space & a solution to keep fussy eaters happy (young & old)!

Top tip: two CrunchPots fit inside the external pocket of OG CrunchCase.

Mini CrunchBox comes with two areas to store food with the silicone seal making it leakproof across compartments (this is achieved in CrunchBox with the Pots).
