Founded less than 10 years ago, Monbento has sold a total of 1 million bento boxes. Monbento's bento boxes have only four series, but the design color is excellent, and the Original series and Tresor series have won the Red Dot Design Award and the German iF Design Award respectively, and are also very popular in China.
Original, Square, Tresor and Gram are Monbento's four series, each with its own characteristics, among them, only the Original series box body is made of PBT, and the other three series are polypropylene PP, but they can all be heated in the microwave, which is more convenient for daily use.
Original is Monbento's earliest and best-selling product series, with a total capacity of 1L and a rich color matching, the price varies according to different colors, the most expensive solid color model is 188 yuan, and the most expensive printed model can be up to 228 yuan. However, many consumers have reported that this bento box will be slightly deformed after heating, and it needs to be closed tightly with a strap, so it is not recommended to hold dishes with soup. If you're looking for a sense of texture, the Original Wood, a new product in the Original series, is a good choice, with a simple and elegant design for the upper lunch box and lid, and is priced at $109 on the website.
The square Square series has a capacity of 1.7 liters and comes with a half-layer inner compartment that can separate different dishes, making it ideal for men. There are three purchase plans for this series of lunch boxes: buy separately, do not come with a portable bag, only include straps, which is relatively inconvenient to carry, and the price is 169 yuan; The combination of portable bag and chopsticks is priced at about 200 yuan; The combination of a portable bag and a knife and fork is priced at 248 yuan.
Different from the general double-layer bento box, the lower layer of the Tresor series is a 500mL rectangular lunch box, which can hold a variety of dishes, and the upper layer is two 150mL small boxes, which can hold cut fruits, snacks, boiled eggs, etc., the capacity is specially designed for children, and can also meet the needs of people who need to bring their own diet meals every day. Compared with the regular bento box, the Tresor, priced at 99 yuan, is more like a mini suitcase, but there is no handle, which is slightly inconvenient to carry.
