TODAYshow.com contributor Elizabeth Werner writes: "The Yubo lunchbox is a dream come true for parents because it is 100 percent dishwasher safe, it’s anti-microbial and comes with a compartmental system that eliminates the need for baggies.  My children love the Yubo Lunchbox because its appearance is customizable.  They can use the included face plates for the front and back of this lunchbox or, better yet, download photos or images and create their own unique look." - August 2010

"Besides the cool design options, I really loved BPA-free polypropylene food containers. The sandwich size container is huge and will easily hold larger sandwiches (I was able to stick some chips in too). The medium size (comes in a 2 pack) may be better for kids who aren’t going to eat the traditional sandwich — I suggest using one for turkey/cheese slices and one for crackers. The small container (comes in a 2 pack) is perfect for dry snacks, applesauce or yogurt." (read full article)

"We just love our Yubo lunchbox! We love, love, love the fact that you can wash the whole thing in the dishwasher! No more icky sticky stuff sticking in the corners.  We also love that you can mix and match the custom containers for the inside.  The design choices for the personalized faceplates will keep you coming back for more. You can upload your photo and change out the faceplates as many times as you like." (see full article)

 

"Before the lunchbox even arrived I was pretty excited to review it because although the previous ones I’ve featured on the Daily Dish were nifty, other than choosing your color or pattern, they weren’t extremely unique. yubo’s lunchboxes not only have removable faceplates but you can personalize them with your child’s name of even one of your own photos!"

TESTIMONIALS:

"The little lunch boxes all the kids got for boys and girls were fantastic! They are so well made and clever how you can put your own pictures on them and how you can keep your food nice and cold in there too. Great party favor for the kids, and Mabels Labels was a hit with making everything personalized." - Kristy Swanson, actress and mother, USA

"My daughter's lunchbox turned up today, and I LOVE it. Thank you so much! I had been looking for a long time for the perfect one and I have found it. Thank you!" - Jolene, mother, New Zealand

"I have received 2 lunchboxes that I recently ordered from you. We are thrilled with them and I can now see cousins, nieces, and nephews wanting them!!" - Michelle, mother, UK

"My son has been using his lunchbox for the last 2 weeks and I am not kidding when I say they are freaking awesome!" - Ashley, mother, USA

"yubo fills a gap that no other lunchbox has seemed to fill - not only is it eco friendly, but it is very practical for both parents and kids. The ability to switch out designs as kids interests change (as they seem to do almost daily) and how easy it is for parents to clean, are both huge winners in my book. As a Mom of two young ones, I spend more time than I would like to packing up and cleaning up everything food related as we are always on the go and I have been through more lunchboxes than I would like to admit. Finally I can just have one for each kid and call it a day - I look forward to yubo making my life in the kitchen (and on the go) much easier! Thanks yubo!" - Megan, mother, USA

"We love the yubo – love, love the ice pack and the fact that the storage containers fit perfectly." - Sheri, mother, USA

"Here's a cool invention that makes life easier. yubo will be the next "it" thing for kids, without a doubt. The best part (for a stay at home dad with twins) is....I CAN PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER!!! I probably should have said I bought it because it's a "green" product, but come on...washing out your kids' lunch box or bag is nasty! Sorry for the long note, but I love it." - Jason, father, USA

"I received my lunchboxes today and I was beyond impressed. At first I had a really hard time spending the kind of money on 3 kids lunchboxes, but I really love them, think the nameplates are great and see how this is a longer term investment than the traditional ones I buy that get all stinky after 3 months." - Leslie, mother, USA

"My kids and I have loved your lunchboxes from day 1, but now I love them even more for your amazing customer service!" - Tricia, mother, USA

"I just placed an order and feel compelled to share how excited I am to get a yubo for my son. I have been searching for a lunchbox/lunch system for my 3 year old son for months. We need separate containers, each with their own lid, that are all BPA-free that can be stored and transported easily together. I have been stuck in a sea of information about different bentos, but they always fall short in one way or another. Usually the lid issue, which has become a deal-breaker for us. Then a friend sent me to your site. WOW! Thank you for creating such a fun and useful product. I can't wait to receive it and show it to my son." - Lara, mother, USA

"I just wanted you to know that I bought both my son and daughter Yubo lunch boxes this year for school. We have only been in school for 6 days here in NJ and not a day goes by when someone doesn't stop me and ask where I got them! They are great!" - Laura, mother, USA

"I'm a grandma who LOVES your product. My angelic granddaughter will be here next week and we're going to pick faceplates and color of lunchbox then. She'll be so excited! Great job creating a product to be proud of, that helps our planet and that is so cool." - Debora, grandmother, USA

"Thank you for the excellent customer service. It is so nice to see that companies strive to make shopping at their site a great customer experience and you have. This is my second purchase from you and I will continue to let others know of Yubo and the service they provide." - Brandy, mother, USA

PRESS RELEASE:

yubo Redefines the Lunch Box with

Moms and Kids in Mind

New lunch packing system combines innovative personalized style with a convenient, clean, eco-friendly design, so taking lunch is always fun and easy

San Francisco, CA -- Aug. 26, 2009: As any parent knows, the lunch box is one of the most necessary, yet frustrating, accessories in a child’s life. Kids want to carry something cool and current, while moms want a lunch box that’s easy to use, easy to clean, and good for the environment.  Sadly, the typical lunch box sold today is hardly unique, convenient or fun for kids. Instead, most have pedestrian designs, require endless use of plastic baggies, and become a smelly mess within a month. Finally, there is a better option: with yubo’s revolutionary redesign of the lunch box inside and out, packing lunch is fun again.

    The creators of yubo started with a simple concept: the lunch box should be cool, easy to clean, and help to prevent waste, not create it. Working with one of the top design firms in the country, along with a healthy dose of real-life experience as parents, founders Cyndi and Paul Pedrazzi created a lunch box that a child can personalize on the outside and parents can customize on the inside for packing the perfect lunch. Even better, yubo can go straight into the dishwasher anytime.

     “With yubo, parents use our custom-made containers instead of baggies, which is better for the environment and cuts down on cost, one snack at a time,” said Cyndi Pedrazzi, mother of two girls, ages 5 and 3. “But we wanted yubo to be more than just parent-focused; we wanted it to be fun for kids too.  With our interchangeable faceplates, kids can choose from any of yubo’s signature designs, display their photos, or artwork, so yubo is always about their own unique personality.”

     The yubo lunch box is a reinvention from the ground up.  At the core is a patent-pending modular design using BPA-free plastic treated with an anti-microbial agent, allowing for frequent, thorough dishwasher cleaning.  Inside is a specially fitted ice pack and three food-safe, economical and reusable food containers, all designed for kid-friendly foods.  

     Outside, kids create their own look by ordering custom tags and faceplates. They can personalize their lunch box with yubo’s own designs, optionally add their name, or upload their own artwork or photos for a completely personal look. At just $4.95-$6.95 for a pack of two, the faceplates can be changed regularly, turning the lunch box into a creative canvas for kids to express themselves as they grow.

     The revolutionary yubo lunch box will be available in three delicious colors: pink, blue, and orange, beginning in August 2009. The standard lunchbox is $21.95, while the deluxe model includes three custom food containers and an ice pack for $29.95. Available initially on the company’s website, www.getyubo.com, yubo will be coming soon to retailers nationwide.
