FAQs
How long does the bag keep food cool?
The powerful polyethylene insulation is designed to keep food cool and fresh for extended periods. For optimal and prolonged cooling, it is highly recommended to use the bag in conjunction with an ice pack.
Can I put hot food in this bag?
This lunch bag is primarily designed for keeping food cool and fresh. It is not engineered to maintain the temperature of hot food items and is therefore not recommended for that purpose.
What are the dimensions of the Built Retro 6 Litre Lunch Bag?
The bag measures approximately H:21.0 x W:27.0 x D:18.5 cm.
Is the interior of the bag leakproof?
Yes, the interior is lined with a durable, leakproof PEVA material. This helps to contain any accidental spills or leaks within the bag, preventing them from soaking through to the exterior.
How do I clean the lunch bag?
The interior PEVA lining can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, optionally with a mild soap solution. For the exterior, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth as needed. Always ensure the bag is completely air-dried before storing.
Can the shoulder strap be removed?
Yes, the shoulder strap is adjustable for comfort and can also be removed if you prefer to carry the bag using only the top handle.
What is the maximum capacity for a lunch box in the bottom compartment?
The bottom compartment is specifically designed to accommodate lunch boxes with a capacity of up to 1.5 litres.
Does this lunch bag come with a warranty?
Yes, the Built Retro 6 Litre Lunch Bag is supplied with a 12-month manufacturer's guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Food is not staying cool enough.
Ensure the bag's zippers are fully closed to seal in the cold. Pre-chill your food items and the lunch bag itself before packing. For extended cooling, consider adding an ice pack (sold separately) inside the bag.
The bag feels too heavy or uncomfortable to carry.
Adjust the shoulder strap to find a comfortable length that distributes weight evenly across your shoulder or body. Avoid overpacking the bag beyond its capacity. Only pack essential items for your meal.
The interior lining appears dirty or has a lingering odor.
Wipe the PEVA lining immediately after each use with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the bag is thoroughly air-dried with the zippers open before storing to prevent odors and mildew from forming.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to open/close.
Gently work the zipper back and forth a few times. Check for any fabric, crumbs, or debris that might be caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove them. Do not force the zipper.
