With four different waterproof boxes—including a large rectangular box for large food items such as sandwiches, two smaller square boxes and a miniature rectangle box—the Compleat Modular is a fully adaptable carry-around set. Priced at approximately $39, the lunch box set also comes with a tight adhesive sleeve that wraps around all four boxes when stacked with each other. The sleeve, when opened, can double up as a place mat, and also comes with an [integrated chopping board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compleat-cutting-board-set). If one chooses to take a small lunch with them, the three smaller boxes can be all placed within the one large box to ensure its contents remain unseparated, effectively saving space inside your bag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Lunch Boxes:** Modular lunch boxes with a variety of compartments that can be customized to fit individual needs offer opportunities for further innovation in personalization and convenience. - **Waterproof Containers:** Waterproof containers are increasingly popular as people look for durable and sustainable options, presenting potential for new product materials and designs. - **Dual-function Accessories:** Multifunctional accessories such as the integrated chopping board in the Compleat Modular lunch box set are gaining popularity, creating opportunities for innovation in dual-purpose items. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Innovative lunch box designs are disrupting traditional food packaging in the food and beverage industry. - **Retail:** The rise in demand for practical, durable and eco-friendly everyday products indicates a potential for lunch boxes in the retail industry. - **Housewares and Home Furnishings:** The practicality of modular lunch boxes and the convenience of dual-function accessories represent opportunities for new product designs in the housewares and home furnishings industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convenience-Focused Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bundle.md) - [Meal Preparation Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memobento.md) - [Sleek Compartmentalized Lunch Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venn-bento-box.md) - [All-Inclusive Leakproof Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box1.md) - [Collaborative Bento-Style Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onthego-meal-kit.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldibox-2.md) - [Ultra-Compact Freezable Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box.md) - [Compact On-The-Go Freezable Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-market-tote.md) - [Camping Prep Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compleat-cutting-board-set.md)
