Small Cooler Bag: Perfect to Take With You

The small cooler bag is the inseparable companion of many workers who prefer, for economy and health reasons, to eat homemade food at work every day. It has become a great ally for responsible and mindful eating. But these bags that keep their contents cold are not only for work; on the contrary: insulated food bags can be the best ally for leisure and free time you can imagine.

We want to review with you the best cooler bag options in our catalog for every situation, as well as share some useful tips to get the most out of this convenient item. But first of all, do you know how a cooler bag works?

How a cooler bag for food works and how to use it

A cooler bag like those from Inuitz combines an inner insulating material, usually heat-sealed, which not only protects food from external heat but also prevents condensation or possible leaks from dripping, and is also made with materials that prevent the proliferation of microorganisms.

A great advantage of the cooler bag is that it is a soft item, like a handbag or backpack, that you can carry comfortably thanks to its straps and bands. They also usually include pockets to store, for example, cutlery, napkins, and even to use them as a bag for everything (wallet, mobile phone, etc.)

As for the best way to use a cooler bag, there are a number of rules that will help you get the most out of it and ensure your food is in perfect condition when it's time to eat:

• Place the most resistant foods or those in the best-sealed food containers at the very bottom.
• Next, place those that follow in order of impact resistance, leaving the most fragile items like fruits or crunchy snacks for the top layer.
• You can place a cold pack between layers of food to keep them fresher.
• A good trick to maintain the cold is to put the water bottle in the freezer hours before and store it frozen in the cooler bag.

Best cooler bags for taking food to work

The cooler bag we usually choose for daily work is, above all, comfortable. It's not common to carry a size larger than strictly necessary, as commuting to work, whether walking, cycling, or by public transport, is much easier if we carry little weight and bulk.

For workers who take their daily lunch and perhaps something for breakfast and a snack, we suggest the following cooler bags:

• Fabric cooler bag: something to eat mid-morning, lunch, a coffee thermos, and a water bottle fit perfectly in the 9-liter capacity (about six soda cans) of this cooler bag.
• Igloo Lunch 2 Go Outdoorsman: finished with hard rubber on the inside to prevent annoying leaks, it has a pocket and mesh for carrying more items.

Best cooler bags for little ones

A small cooler bag will be just what the little ones need to take their snack to school or on an outing or picnic. These are small cooler bags with designs suitable for their age, perfect for not being a burden for small children and for their small sandwich, a piece of fruit, a small juice box, etc., to fit perfectly.

• Fabric cooler or thermal bag Igloo Lunch Box Dinos: this cute lunch box fits everything a child might need to eat during school hours. Its semi-rigid structure makes it very durable.
• Igloo Sandwich Keeper 8 BIT: for small portions, this sandwich holder in cooler bag format is perfect.
• Igloo Lunch Animals children's fabric cooler bag with its Elephant, Lion, and Panda designs: these bags will charm them with their design, in addition to keeping their food in good condition.
• Flexible cooler bag: another great ally for children's nutrition outside the home.
