Welcome to the Miners Lunch Box Welcome to the Miners Lunch Box

Built on the past, handcrafted for today, and now made for everyone!

The Miners Lunch Box has been manufactured in Canada over the past 60 years. Our tough lunch boxes have been handmade and hard-working ever since 1956. You’re buying tradition and premium, not just a lunch box. We’re proud to say that the world’s best metal lunch box is handmade by people the old way, right here in Northern Ontario, Canada.

Our Miners Lunch Box is handcrafted from high-grade aluminum, making it virtually indestructible, practical, and lightweight. Once you get your hands on a Miners Lunch Box, you own one for life. A retro style, eco lunch packaging product with many uses. The metal lunch box isn’t just for miners. It’s handmade tough, for you—simple, durable design, inspired by the past and perfect for the present.

I inherited my fathers lunchbox who was a union ironworker for 25+ years until the day he died. I plan to do the same as an electrician and carry on the tradition of the trades. One lunchbox at a time.

I have one from my grandfather, I love it. It shows how things used to be made, not like things today. It's a real lunch box for a real worker.
Jay Hayes
I have had my original miners lunch box for almost 20 years. And still use it every day. I love the quality of it. It's easy to find in the fridge at work amongst all the cheap insulated lunch bags. My food doesn't get squished. And best of all. It's made in Canada.

I remember my grandfathers and uncles lunch box years ago, they came from L May when the worked in Cartier on the railroad. My wife got mine a couple years back. I had to have one as well i'm sure it will easily last the rest of my working life. A great Canadian product. Thanks L May
Kevin Ukrainetz
Incredible product. My box is 50+ years old and still used daily. I intend on it becoming my urn.

My father had one of these lunch kits for years! The latches wore out so he cut a tire tube to hold the lid shut, my father passed away in late September at the age of 75, he worked right up until 3 weeks before he died with your lunch kit. At his request, he was cremated and was buried in his metal lunch kit held shut by his tire tube. Your logo is so true, “it will last as long as you will

I have been using my L. May lunch pail for over 30 years. It has carried my lunch every day since, keeps the dirt off, and is built tough. Not only does my lunch pail represent Sudbury, but it represents a long career in the mining industry.
TimElectrician
I have had my L. May lunch box for a few years and it is the perfect size to hold my quart thermos [14 inch] as well as my lunch. The thermos is 47 years old and the lunchbox is 10 plus. It is nice to know that it can be repaired.
