If the shape was originally kidney-shaped due to the stored bread , the shapes vary depending on the use. While sheet metal and wood were originally used for production, the use of plastics now predominates .
The terms lunch box and lunch box are also used for lunch boxes , which are used in the English-speaking area for the storage of lunch ( lunch ). However, these are usually larger, often modeled on a small suitcase, and thus offer space for fruit , confectionery or drinks . In parallel to the lunch box, the Henkelmann was used to transport hot meals.
In Japan there are comparable containers called Bentō boxes. They can consist of wicker, ornate boxes made of wood or lacquerware ( Urushi (jap.))) And are also available cheaply in plastic with a transparent lid. In them, sushi is usually nicely decorated. Sometimes disposable chopsticks (wari-bashi) are included. Originally they had the same function as the lunch box, but are also offered ready-made by sushi restaurants as a small snack for on the go or at home. Comparable with Bentō is Dosirak ( 도시락 ) in South Korea and Kwakpap ( 곽밥 ) in North Korea .
