Bento boxes

Bento boxes are traditionally designed for a single-portion meal which keeps different elements separate or compartmentalized. The use of plastics materials enables their re-use from day to day in a simple, hygienic manner, at the same time being light in weight and portable, ideal for a lunch time picnic meal for one.
