10 Reviews: Best Lunch Cooler for Work (Apr 2024)

If you are looking for a small-sized soft cooler bag, trust Coleman. Equipped with premium insulation, the contents of your bag will stay cold for 24 hours straight. Its capacity can accommodate up to 9 cans without looking bulky. Its ability to keep things cold in the hot sun is not in doubt. Moreover, there are plenty of pockets to store your belongings.

I love this little cooler! I use it every day as a work cooler and take it with me on trips to have cold drinks and a snack on the road. I like that the hard plastic liner is removable since I wedge it into a small fridge at work. It's the same width and length of my old 6 pack cooler but taller. I fit my glass lunch dish plus 4 half liter water bottles in this. The bungie cords on top are a nice touch. It's a real value for the price. I couldn't be happier with this!

The MIER Adult Lunch Box is a perfect pick to bring to the office with its compact design and numerous color choices that aren’t childish. The dual-compartment makes it easy for you to separate the warm items and those you want to keep cool. It’ll ensure that your cold items remain cold and your hot items remain hot. There are other pockets on the front and sides for placing utensils, napkins, or other small trinkets.

Just as described. Really love this for work and the separate compartments. I usually pack my drink in the top ( you can easily fit 3 cans or 2 water bottles in the upper compartment) and lunch in the bottom. Or chips/crackers in the top to keep from getting crumbled. Easy to clean. It keeps food cold and the long strap makes it easy to carry when my hands are full. Highly recommend.

If you look high and low for a rugged lunch box that gives you a manly look, you can’t go wrong with the Carhartt Deluxe soft-sided lunch box. It is made of heavy-duty construction and has enough room for a 6-pack. Plus, there is still space left in the top compartment to avoid smushed sandwiches and crunched chips. Regarding the cooler, Carhartt relies on top-rated insulation so everything you put inside remains fresh all day long.

Bought this for my son who drives a truck and works 12-15 hour days. He LOVES it!! Top section keeps phone and charger dry, lunch plus a few frozen water bottles in the bottom. Keeps his water cool enough all day - even in this hot Florida weather. And it's Carhartt....classy.

Pack your lunch like a boss with the Igloo The Boss Playmate Cooler. The robust shell can protect the temperature of your refreshment from leaving the house until lunchtime. What makes thousands of users love it is its roomy interior, also the iconic tent-top design which can fit taller drinks. The cooler’s lid smoothly slides to either side only by pressing the button on the handle, making it easy to open single-handedly.

This is a classic cooler design.. the perfect size for using as a work cooler if you work 10hr days. Keeps your items nice and cold all day. Lots of room can hold two gallon jugs of milk if you wanted as a size reference. Nice smooth one hand operation to open, looks classy, and makes people compliment your taste in a good lunch box.

Nope, we’re not talking about Ernest Hemingway, but the HemingWeigh Reusable Insulated Lunch Bag. This lunch box has an impressive capacity and includes 3 BPA-free reusable lunch containers for the main compartment. The upper pocket is great for holding fruit, chips, and the like. Let’s thank the insulation for working hard to keep our meal as enjoyable as it was when packed.

Since I work a 4 day 10+ hr shift this worked out perfect for my breakfast/lunch and snacks!! Not bulky, like that it is slender.I like all 3 compartments, all pretty good size and the 2 mesh side pockets, one on each side. And also like the 2 choices, a handle strap or shoulder strap. Since I carry a bag the handle strap worked best for me!! Thanks for including the ice pack!!

Tired of a stuck zipper? Now, you don’t need to! The Arctic Zone Titan Deep Freeze comes with a “flip-open” Zipperless™ lid for quick access to food and drinks. Even so, there’s no need to worry about leaks because the velcro strap secures the lid, creating a tight seal. What makes this bag so special is the removable plastic divider for you to separate hard stuff with the soft ones so they don’t get crushed. Plus, the ability to retain ice for two days will blow your mind!

So far we're loving this! Hubby needed a new lunch carrier and this is the one we chose. It is definitely a huuuuge upgrade from his last one. He's been using it about two weeks. His line of work requires him to keep his lunch in his vehicle and it can get really hot in there. So far the little ice packs I put in are staying frozen for 12+ hours so that's a huge plus!

The Stanley Classic is a durable, cleverly-designed lunch cooler that reminds you of the 1950s-style lunch boxes. There are an old-school and vintage touch that is bound to draw the eyes and jealous looks of bystanders. With ample 10 quarts storage, you have plenty of room for hearty lunches and after-work beers. Not to mention the weatherproof latches and hinges which won’t let you down any time soon.

Great product. I get a lot of compliments from guys in the shop about this lunch pail. I put an ice pack inside when I want to keep my lunch cool and it has worked great. Looks amazing. Bought the thermos shortly after.

If you’re a backpack maniac, then this one is for you. Not only is it perfect for bringing it to the office, but you can also take it with you while hiking or trekking so you can enjoy traveling hands-freely. It comes with a pair of fully padded shoulder straps for adjustable comfort. In addition to keeping cold food cool, this model can be used for hot foods too, thanks to the thick insulation and leakproof aluminum liner.

I have been using this for a few weeks for work, and it holds everything I needed. Keeps my food and water cold all day. (Ice pack is still frozen at the end of the work day {12hrs}). Pretty sturdy pack so far!

Imagine that you’ve finished a stack of reports and found all your supplies sluggish at lunch. Don’t let the nightmare happen with the help of the Stanley Adventure Leakproof Outdoor which promises to keep food cool for up to 27 hours. Additionally, the solid and chunky handle makes this cooler easy to grab and carry. Ideal for your everyday work lunch box.

I bought this Stanley 16 Qt. cooler primarily for packing lunches for work. I've used this cooler for several weeks and have been very satisfied so far. I use sever small blue ices in the bottom and pack everything on top. Even though I open the lid several timea throughout the day, my lunch always says cool. Always when I take the blue ices out in the evening to refreeze they are still mostly frozen after ten to twelve hours of use.

From the picture, this product is visible. Our last product comes with an innovative design like a thermos. This bento jar is an extraordinary type of food flask that comes with four microwaveable inner bowls. It boasts a solid stainless steel construction, complete with impressive insulation to keep your meals at temperatures up to six hours. Feel the freedom of taking your healthy and balanced meals anywhere you please.

i bought this as a gift for my fiance and he loves it. he is a paramedic so he works long, busy shifts. he says this product keeps his hot food warm and his cold food cool all shift. it is also very conveniently packaged so it's easy to carry around. we threw out his old bulky thermal lunch bag. there are two hot containers and two cold. it does not hold huge portions of food. it is perfect for one person but if you eat huge portions or are packing for two, they do offer a bigger one.
