24.01.2022 I used to love ‘fruit pillows’ when I was a kid - now I can make them!

24.01.2022 I edited so many "ums", "ah's" and "so's" out of this video and there's still a whole bunch in there The entire sampling phase should have only taken 2 weeks, but here we are almost two months along. Under normal conditions (i.e. pre-COVID) we would have been on-the-ground in the factory, working directly with the manufacturers to adjust the tool and modify the samples every day until it was right. I’m frustrated with the current process but there’s simply nothing I can d...o to make it any different, so we’re doing our best under the circumstances. If you’ve pre-ordered a lunchbox already or you place an order before our shipment arrives, you’ll get a free sticker sheet included with your order! Thanks for hanging in there with us. Kirby x

21.01.2022 We just sent a @boxi_au production update to all our @indiegogo backers. Check your email or read it here . It's on - tooling has started and manufacturing will follow in May. It's been such a looong time coming, and I kinda can't believe it's now happening. I'm so, so excited - I know you're all eager to get your lunchboxes and I'm just as keen to get them to you. Read the update on our website or scroll down. . Here’s an approximate timeline:... . March/April tooling of all parts (this is the creation of the steel moulds that are used to shape the lunchbox and the ice brick). . Late April arrival of first sample off the new tool. This will be a ‘draft’ of the very first mass-produced Boxi lunchbox. From here we’ll refine the tool until the lunchbox fits our design and engineering requirements. Now, we were originally going to China for the sampling phase but due to travel restrictions, we won’t be visiting. So, it means that this phase will take longer than the original two week estimation, and depending on how many samples we require, will depend on how long this phase will last. We’re estimating 4- 6 weeks (including import/export). . Late May/June production and assembly will start and take approximately 4 weeks. We will use independent assessors for our quality assurance checks prior to our first shipment being released (this originally would have occurred while our engineers were in China during the sampling phase). . Mid-June/early July arrival in Australia! At the moment, sea freight is taking about 4-6 weeks and air freight is taking 10 -14 days (but costs a lot more). We’ll make a decision closer to the time about which method we’ll use. . As soon as our Boxi lunchboxes arrive, I will be posting them out to you. I want to thank each and every one of you for sticking with me through this journey I knew it was a long road to travel but I didn’t think it would be this long and have so many unexpected hurdles. I’m grateful to you for your gracious understanding and support of me. . Like always, please email me or send me a DM with any questions! Kirby See more

21.01.2022 Most of us with school-aged kids are back packing lunches and I must say I’m lacking a bit of inspiration when it comes to filling our lunchbox. What’s your favourite things to pack, and most importantly what’s your child’s favourite thing to eat? . . @boxi_au @boxi_lunchbox #boxilunchbox #lunchbox #lunchboxideas #lunchboxforkids #schoollunchbox #icebrick #icepack #lunchboxinspiration #australianowned

19.01.2022 I need help choosing the packaging design. Which one do you like best? 1. Single snowflake 2. Igloo/iceberg/snowflake 3. Many snowflakes Let me know in the comments ... #boxilunchbox #packagingdesign #snowflake #schoollunchbox #lunchboxwithicebrick #seriouslycoollunchboxes

18.01.2022 Super handy lunchbox organisation ideas from one handed cooks!

18.01.2022 And on Tuesday, we put @lego in our lunchboxes #lego #lunchbox #schoollunchbox #legolunchbox #seriouslycoollunchboxes #backtoschool #lunchboxwithicebrick #boxilunchbox @boxi_au @boxi_lunchbox

18.01.2022 Wondering how to put the ice brick in and take it out? Or how to put the food tray in properly so the lid shuts and the seal engages? Check out this video!

16.01.2022 The silicone seal in the Boxi lid can be pulled out for easy cleaning. (Oh yeah ) Pinch it with your fingers and gently pull it out of the groove, hand wash or pop in the top rack of the dishwasher. Dry it before placing back inside the groove in the lid, or simply leave it out until next use. #boxilunchbox #lunchboxwithicebrick #coollunchbox #schoollunchbox #lunchboxforadults #healthylunch #schoollunchideas #lunchboxideas #lunchboxdad #lunchboxmum

14.01.2022 I must admit, I’ve got first day jitters. My Preppie, however, has been dressed since 6.30am asking if school is open yet?! We’ve eaten from lunchboxes regularly for the past 4 years, but to be honest, I had no idea how much food to pack for Mr 4’s first day. This lunchbox includes Munch and Crunch (but I took it out and put it in a separate container because they take it into the classroom). It also includes a ‘just in-case’ sandwich Let’s see how much of it comes home Thinking of all the ‘first day at school’ kids and parents

14.01.2022 Jed, refuelling at his BMX race at the weekend! Tanya Dobson #boxilunchbox #BMX #schoollunchbox @launchBMXPhotography Launch BMX Photography

13.01.2022 Thinking about new colours for our next collection. Could you help us out and let us know which colours you’d like to see in a @boxi_au lunchbox! Drop the number in the comments below #boxilunchbox #colourpalette #newrelease

13.01.2022 Q: How many lunchbox samples does it take to create a lunchbox?? A: a lot! Here is T1, T2 and T3, plus all the individual part samples in-between (T2.1, T2.2, T2.3...) ... We’re almost there! It’s been a crazy, frustrating, unpredictable, unprecedented year for everyone, and Boxi is no exception. I’ll have a detailed update on the progress for all our customers soon. Kirby

13.01.2022 Drink bottles arrived. I can’t decide which one I like best but I’m leaning towards black! How cool would a matching black lunchbox be Which is your favourite? . . #boxilunchbox #lunchbox #drinkbottle #schoolsupplies @boxi_au

12.01.2022 I wonder if I’ll get this for breakfast in the morning?

12.01.2022 Boxi lunchbox and Batman tattoos! Sharing a lunchbox is difficult when you’re only 2 and 4 #boxilunchbox @boxi_au @boxi_lunchbox #batman #schoollunch #schoollunchideas #lunchboxwithicebrick #coollunchbox #coldlunch #lunchboxdad #lunchboxmum #DROPPINGSOON

12.01.2022 1 glass or 1 cup, per person!

11.01.2022 Here's what we've been working on behind the scenes for the past two weeks at Boxi HQ!

11.01.2022 Our T1 sample finally made it to Australia yesterday! After initial rejection from customs, then a 5 night stay in Singapore waiting for a flight to Australia, we finally have it in our hands. The reason customs rejected the lunchbox was because of the liquid in the ice-brick. It needed to include the Material Safety Data Sheet to prove that the liquid is not a hazard for flying it’s a great lesson to learn now, so we can make sure it doesn’t happen with future shipments. S...ome really awesome points about the sample: The seal in the lid is really amazing we’re very happy with its functionality and how easy it is to take out and put back in. The handle is great it looks and feels good and it’s such a useful feature. The size and fit of the parts is really good for a first sample there are a few adjustments to be made so it aligns with our quality specifications and design requirements. It’s easy to clean yes, we’ve already given it a trial run! Our custom packaging is really unique and will look fabulous when the graphic design is finalised. After these adjustments, we’re expecting 2-3 more samples to happen. Once we have it to our standard, we’ll then add the texture to the surfaces so mass manufacturing can start. It took two weeks for this sample to get here, so we’re expecting the turn-around time of each subsequent sample to be 2-3 weeks each (normally the sampling process would have only taken 2 weeks because we would have been at the factory overseeing it). I wish I could give you an exact delivery date of the final product, but it’s unrealistic for me to do that right now. We want you to know that the engineers, manufacturers and myself are working really hard to get it right, and get it here as fast as humanly possible. Thank you for your continued support and understanding it really means so much to me. As always, email me with any questions; I’m always happy to answer them. Kirby

11.01.2022 Pre-orders are opening soon (really, really soon!). Get on our email list to be the first to know sign up on our website pop up www.boxi.com.au #boxilunchbox #lunchboxwithicebrick #schoollunchbox #healthylunch #wastefreelunch #lunchboxdad #lunchboxmum

09.01.2022 I thought today was Friday Anybody else’s lunchbox have stickers on the inside? #boxilunchbox @boxi_au #schoollunchbox #lunchboxideas #healthylunchbox

09.01.2022 Where do you get your lunchbox inspo from? We love recipes from Kylie at @kidgredients, Bernadette at @goodiegoodielunchbox and Aileen at @babyledfeeding. I also love @wholefoodsimply for healthy treats and a personal favourite of mine is @sallysbakeblog . Tag your favourite lunchbox inspo accounts below

09.01.2022 The first complete sample is off the tool and it all fits together! This is a great achievement by the design engineers - all the hinges line up, all the parts fit together, the handle and the latch fit in the designated spots. There are a few things that need fine-tuning, like the ejection points that push the lunchbox off the tool, and the length of time cooling the lunchbox while it’s still on the tool - but they’re all things we expected and things that can be fixed. ... It was super handy to see the lunchbox made in translucent material so the engineers can see exactly how the lunchbox is performing from all angles. Next step is another sample after the adjustments of the mould are made. I’m still really hoping that manufacturing will start this month Kirby . . #boxilunchbox #coollunchbox #australiancompany #startup #femaleentrepreneur #femalefounder #schoollunchbox #lunchbox #lunchboxideas #icebrick #bentolunchbox

08.01.2022 Tooling has finished and the very first sample has come off the mould! This is a great day for us here at @boxi_au HQ. It brings us another step closer to getting the lunchboxes out to all our amazing customers who have been waiting (so patiently!) for their order! Can’t thank you all enough for your continued support I simply wouldn’t be here, creating this lunchbox and getting this little business up and running, without you ... . #boxilunchbox #boxiaustralia #femalefounder #startup #goldcoast #entrepreneur #productionupdate #indiegogo #coollunchbox #lunchboxicebrick #lunchboxideas #schoollunchbox #schoollunch #lunchboxideas @boxi_lunchbox @ Gold Coast, Queensland

06.01.2022 Adventure! That’s what life’s about for any kid (young or old!). Mr 4 is always asking me to draw a treasure map so he can follow a trail and discover what’s at the marks the spot. swipe to see our first working sample (T1) that’s currently on a plane to us! The engineers will assess all components and liaise with the factory about the adjustments/refinements that need to be made. Pretty exciting. Fingers crossed the momentum continues and you’ll have your Boxi Cool lunchboxes really soon. . @boxi_au @boxi_lunchbox #boxilunchbox #femalefounder #goldcoaststartup #seriouslycoollunchboxes #sheeoactivator #lunchboxes #indiegogo #schoollunchbox #australiancompany #lunchboxideasaustralia #lunchboxideas @ Gold Coast, Queensland

04.01.2022 T3 production update: We’re really happy with the most recent modifications we made on the tooling because our latest sample, T3, is really good it looks nice, it feels nice and it functions nice. YAY! There are only a few minor adjustments that need to be made now + adding the texture, so I really do feel like we’re on the home straight. In-between T2 and T3, we received many individual part samples to assess. We did this to try and speed up the process a little but it w...as still important to make our assessment and modifications based on the completed T3 sample which arrived last week. Our drink bottles have arrived and they’re gorgeous! We’ve managed to source four colours: white, black, blue and pink! So, if you pre-ordered one with your lunchbox, you can now choose which colour you’d like. We’ve also sourced the perfect sized teaspoon that fits in all compartments of the food tray. Made from stainless steel, they’ll make eating your yoghurt easy from the Boxi Cool lunchbox. And guess what!? Everyone who has already placed a pre-order will be getting a free teaspoon with their lunchbox! Our manufacturers, engineering team and myself are all really aware of the time it’s taking. I wish there was some way to speed up this process; it’s extremely frustrating and somewhat disappointing that it has taken so long. However, I’m really happy with the quality of this product and that was one of my main goals when I set-out to create a brand new lunchbox: quality! Thanks for hanging in there with me your support, your lovely messages and comments on social media are really encouraging and helping to keep me focused (plus I’m super excited to get these lunchboxes delivered to you all!). So thank you! We’re so, so close. As always, if you have questions please reach out to me here: [email protected] Kirby

03.01.2022 What’s for your lunch today?

03.01.2022 Our T2 sample is held-up in Singapore again. It’s simply waiting for a flight to Australia... we’ve called to check on when it might be heading our way, they said this week sometime and now we’re waiting patiently. Our stickers have arrived and we’re super excited to tell you that everyone who has placed a pre-order (or places an order before our stock arrives) will receive a free sticker sheet with your lunchbox! They’re waterproof and fade-resistant so they’ll withstand t...he dishwasher and keep your lunchbox looking seriously cool! . . . @boxi_au @boxi_lunchbox #kidslunchbox #productionupdate #boxilunchbox #seriouslycoollunchboxes #schoollunchbox #coollunchbox #icebrick #instamum #sydneymums #melbournemums #perthmums See more
