General Lunch Bag & Lunch Carrier FAQ

All of our Insulated Lunch Bags include a perfectly sized ice pack with its own water-resistant cover, so you’re set to keep food fresh and cool straight away.

Our Insulated Totes and Carriers don’t include an ice pack, but you can easily add one from our range if you’d like extra cooling power.

Each Large Lunch Bag comes with our best-selling ice pack and a high-quality insulated lining. Together, they’ll keep your food fresh and cool for up to 8 hours – perfect for busy school days or long adventures.

Our Medium Lunch Bags include a slightly smaller ice pack, designed to keep lunches chilled for up to 6 hours.

Our Mini Lunch Bags include a small ice pack, keeping snacks and smaller meals cool for up to 4 hours.

Yes – every MontiiCo Insulated Lunch Bag & Lunch Carrier comes with its own dedicated ice pack pocket. This keeps the ice pack separate, secure, and helps maximise cooling power throughout the bag.

Our Insulated Lunch Bag range comes in three sizes:

  • Mini – perfect for little appetites or snacks on the go.
  • Medium – the perfect in-between size for pre-schoolers, smaller eaters, or those packing a single lunch box.
  • Large- Our most popular size! Extra roomy and large enough to fit most popular Bento Boxes, making it ideal for big appetites or all-day adventures.

For exact dimensions check out the “Nitty Gritty” tab on each product listing or head to our Lunch Bag Size Guide to see which Lunch Box or Food Jar fits best in each size.

All MontiiCo Insulated Lunch Bags come with a sewn-in name label inside, making it easy to write your child’s name directly on the bag.

Please don’t use iron-on labels, as the heat can damage the foam lining. If you’d prefer not to write inside the bag, a bag tag that clips on is a great way to personalise it and help your child spot their bag easily.

MontiiCo Lunch Carriers do not include a sewn-in name label.

Yes – our Insulated Lunch Bags fit comfortably inside MontiiCo Backpacks, with plenty of room left over for books, a drink bottle and other school essentials.

Care & Cleaning

Keeping your MontiiCo Lunch Bag clean helps it last longer and stay looking fresh.

Good news—our bags are machine washable, so cleaning couldn’t be easier! Just remember:

  • Wash them solo in cold water on a gentle, longer cycle (quick cycles with strong spins can be a bit rough).
  • Use a regular detergent, but skip fabric softeners, stain removers, bleach, soaking, or ironing—these can damage or discolour your bag.

Got a stubborn stain? Mix a little laundry powder with water to form a paste, gently brush it onto the stain, let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then pop the bag in the wash as usual. For exact care specifications, check the “Nitty Gritty” tab on each product listing.

To keep your MontiiCo Lunch Bag in top shape, we recommend unpacking it as soon as you’re done using it. Wipe down the inside with a damp cloth to remove any crumbs or spills, and don’t forget to take the ice pack out too.
If a spill happens, try to clean it up as quickly as possible – the sooner you tackle it, the easier it’ll be to keep your bag fresh and ready for the next day.

Using your MontiiCo Lunch Bag & Lunch Carrier

Want help choosing the perfect match? Our Lunch Bag Size Guide shows side-by-side comparisons of each size, with internal dimensions and photos, so you can see exactly which Lunch Box fits inside. It makes choosing the right combo quick and easy.

For the best cooling power, freeze your MontiiCo ice pack flat overnight and place it into the dedicated pocket inside your Lunch Bag before packing food. This keeps the ice pack separate from food, reducing condensation while keeping everything chilled.

Accessories & Replacement Parts

Yes! We’ve made it easy to refresh your bag without replacing the whole thing.

  • Ice Packs – Available separately, each comes with its own water-resistant cover. Perfect if you need a spare or want extras to rotate.
  • Lunch Carrier Straps – Replacement straps are also available so you can keep your carrier in top shape.

Materials and Safety

Yes – after years of testing, we selected a water-resistant coating for our Lunch Bags that meets strict food safety standards. This special finish makes the bags easier to clean and helps them dry quickly.

To prevent mould, always ensure your Lunch Bag is completely dry before storing it in a well-ventilated area, away from dark or damp places.

MontiiCo Lunch Bags are made from durable, water-resistant polyester fabric with thick, padded foam insulation to help keep food cool for longer. Inside, they feature a food-safe, easy-to-clean aluminium lining that’s free from BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals.

All MontiiCo Lunch Bags are thoughtfully designed in Australia and responsibly manufactured in China by our trusted partners, who share our commitment to quality, safety and durability.
