Our innovative Bento Switch Up Disc allows you to easily change the look of your bento box for a fresh new design. Whether your little one has outgrown their current theme or you're just in the mood for a change, this feature ensures you'll never tire of your bento. Please remember, it's only compatible with our 1 clip model Bento Box which is sold separately. Now, let's bring some adventure to lunchtime.
How Can I Switch my Disc?
Our bento lunch box is all about personalised fun! With an interchangeable disc, your child's lunch box can transform from dinosaurs one day to rainbows the next. Here's a quick guide on how to switch your bento disc:
1. Open your bento box and remove the tray. Set it aside carefully.
2. Hold the open bento box with both hands at the top corners, keeping the side that opens against your body for stability.
3. Gently press down on the top corners to pop out the inner lid.
4. Slide the lid out and set it aside.
5. Now, unlock the disc by turning it anticlockwise and lifting it out.
6. Insert the new disc, ensuring it's facing up correctly. Turn it clockwise until it locks in place. Remember, never force it!
7. Reinsert the inner lid by aligning the small clips with the notches in the box. It should sit flush in the box without any clips showing. If it's not inserted correctly and the clips are visible, the lid may bow, affecting its function.
8. Put the tray back inside the box and close your Bento Box.
There you have it - your bento box has a fresh look! Follow these steps anytime you want to change up your bento design.
Happy lunchtime adventures!
