Perfect for Every Lifestyle
What Makes the Insulation So Effective?
The secret to the Thirty One Lunch Tote’s exceptional temperature control lies in its multi-layer insulation system.
Unlike cheaper lunch bags with thin foam padding, this tote features high-quality insulated lining that creates an effective thermal barrier between your food and outside temperatures.
The result? Your cold foods stay cold, your hot items stay warm, and everything maintains the perfect temperature for hours.
Independent testing by everyday users consistently shows that the Thirty One Lunch Tote outperforms basic insulated bags by maintaining optimal food temperatures significantly longer.

Care and Maintenance Made Simple
Keeping your Thirty One Lunch Tote fresh and clean requires minimal effort thanks to its thoughtful design.
Daily Quick Clean
After each use, simply wipe the interior with a damp cloth. The water-resistant lining makes cleanup quick and easy, even for sticky spills.
Weekly Deep Clean
Once a week, use a mild soap solution and damp cloth to thoroughly clean all interior surfaces. Pay special attention to corners and seams where crumbs might collect.
Odor Prevention
Leave the tote open when not in use to allow air circulation. For stubborn odors, place an open box of baking soda inside overnight.
Stain Removal
Address spills immediately for best results. Most stains wipe away easily from the interior lining, but stubborn marks can be treated with gentle dish soap.

While perfect for meals, the Thirty One Lunch Tote’s versatility extends far beyond the lunch hour.
