How do vacuum lunch boxes work?

Vacuum food boxes are an innovative solution to keep your food fresher for longer. By using vacuum technology, the oxygen in the container can be removed, which slows down the decomposition process and extends the shelf life of the food. In this guide, we go through how vacuum food boxes work, their advantages, and the most popular areas of use, such as meal prep and long-term food storage.

The function of vacuum technology in food boxes

Vacuum lunch boxes work by removing the air from the container using a vacuum pump or a specially designed lid. When the oxygen disappears, a vacuum is created in the box, which prevents the growth of bacteria and mold that would otherwise cause the food to deteriorate.

By eliminating the oxygen, food can stay fresh up to five times longer compared to normal storage. Read more about our vacuum food boxes and how they help preserve both taste and nutritional value.
