Get ready for Back to School with Montana’s Multipurpose Lunch Box. Montana is fully lined and features a zipper opening with a hinge-style lid. Extra options include a handle, adjustable strap, zippered exterior pocket with or without a ruffle, and an interior pocket that is perfect for storing utensils or ice packs. Lunch box can be fully insulated for keeping food warm or cold. The lining can be waterproofed for easy cleanup of spills- with the included instructions on how to make any fabric of your choice waterproof, you can make your lining as minimal or as fun as you’d like.
