PackIt Freezable Essential Lunch Cooler — Black, Collapsible Top-Load with Built-In Gel Walls

The PackIt Freezable Essential Lunch Cooler in Black is a collapsible lunch bag with built-in freezeable gel walls that chills meals and drinks for hours without separate ice packs.

This compact, top-load cooler is designed to sit in your freezer overnight and transform into an insulated cooler that keeps food cold throughout the day. With PackIt’s ECOFREEZE Technology integrated into the walls, the bag removes the need for loose ice packs and is made from nontoxic materials with antimicrobial properties to help reduce odor and bacterial growth. It’s ideal for office lunches, school meals, picnics, and any situation where reusable cooling and portability matter.

How do I prepare the cooler for use?

Preparation is simple: collapse the cooler flat and place it in the freezer for around eight hours for best performance. Once fully frozen, unfold and pack your food and drinks; the built-in gel will keep contents cool without condensation or dripping ice.

• Collapse flat to fit easily in most freezers.
• Freeze about 8 hours for optimal chilling capacity.
• Unfold and pack directly—no extra ice packs required.

What are the size and storage features of the cube top-load design?

The Essential Cooler uses a cube-shaped, top-loading layout that provides roomy capacity for larger containers, sandwiches, or multiple beverage cans. It measures 9.5"L x 7.75"W x 7.75"H when open and compresses to 10.25"L x 2"W x 9"H when collapsed for compact storage.

• Spacious interior fits full meals and several drinks.
• Top-load opening makes packing and access easy.
• Collapses flat to save freezer and cupboard space.

Is the cooler safe and easy to clean?

Yes—PackIt builds the Freezable Essential Cooler with a nontoxic gel liner and PVC-, BPA-, phthalate-, and lead-free materials. The interior wipes clean and the exterior can be spot-cleaned, while antimicrobial additives in the walls help minimize odors and bacterial growth.

• Nontoxic gel and liner materials for safe food contact.
• Antimicrobial wall properties to reduce odor buildup.
• Interior wipes clean; spot-clean the exterior as needed.

How does this cooler help reduce waste and simplify lunches?

Because the cooling system is integrated into the bag, you won’t need disposable ice packs, plastic bags of ice, or single-use cooling products. Reusable for many freeze/thaw cycles, the PackIt cooler lowers reliance on extras while keeping food fresh longer during the day.

• Eliminates separate ice packs and single-use cooling products.
• Reusable gel walls reduce ongoing waste and expense.
• Helps keep perishable items cooler longer to prevent spoilage.
