Lunch Box Sizing Guide: From Extra Small to Large

Lunch boxes for tiffin and takeaway services need to match actual portion sizes closely — too small and customers feel shortchanged, too large and food shifts around during transport, affecting presentation.

Extra Small (400ml)

Suited to single-item snacks or a small side dish — not typically used as a standalone meal container, but useful for add-on items alongside a main order.

Small (700ml)

A light meal portion — suitable for a modest single-serving lunch without heavy sides.

Medium (1100ml)

The standard full-meal size for most tiffin services — main dish plus a couple of sides comfortably fits this capacity.

Large (1900ml)

Built for hearty, full meals with multiple components or larger portion sizes — a common choice for premium tiffin services or customers ordering a complete family-style meal.

Matching Size to Your Menu

Rather than standardizing on one size, most successful tiffin and catering businesses stock two or three sizes to match their actual menu variety — a light lunch option alongside a full hearty meal option, for example.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size lunch box fits a full meal for one person?

A Medium (1100ml) lunch box is generally sized correctly for a standard full single-person meal with a main and a couple of sides.

Is a Large lunch box necessary for most tiffin services?

Only if your menu includes hearty, multi-component meals — many tiffin services find Medium sufficient for standard daily offerings, reserving Large for premium or family-size orders.
