Choosing the right lunchbox is all about matching it to your lifestyle – and here at L. May, we’ve got a size for everyone. Whether you’re carrying gear to the job site, snacks for the road, or just want a sturdy box that can hold it all, we’ve got you covered.
Let’s break it down, nice and easy.
The Original Sizes
Our 8", 10", 12", and 14" lunchboxes are the heart of our collection. These four sizes share the same width and same height
-
Width (W): 4 ½ inches
-
Height (H): 7 ¼ inches
The difference? You guessed it – the length.
-
8 inches: Compact and perfect for light loads or quick outings.
-
10 inches: A bit more space for those extra essentials.
-
12 inches: The go-to for carrying a solid day’s worth of supplies.
-
14 inches: Maximum space while keeping the slim profile.


The Three 14-Inch Options
Here’s where things get interesting. We actually have three different lunchboxes that are all 14 inches long – but they vary in width and height, giving you more space as you go up.
-
14" Original:
-
W: 4 ½ inches
-
H: 7 ¼ inches
-
Slim and lightweight, but still offers the most length of our Original line.
-
-
14" Classic:
-
W: 5 ½ inches
-
H: 8 ¼ inches
-
Keeps the 14" length but adds extra width and height for bulkier items.
-
-
14" Super Classic:
-
W: 6 ½ inches
-
H: 9 ¼ inches
-
The biggest of them all – maximum length, width, and height for when you want all the room.
-


How Do “Classic” and “Super Classic” Differ?
The terms Classic and Super Classic simply refer to our widest and tallest models.
-
The Classic is wider and taller than the Original 14", giving you more room without feeling oversized.
-
The Super Classic takes it a step further – it’s the widest and tallest lunchbox we make, built for the long days, the extra gear, and the “just in case” items.

Which One Should You Choose?
-
For light loads or minimal gear: 8" or 10" Original.
-
For everyday essentials without extra bulk: 12" Original.
-
For max space with a slim profile: 14" Original.
-
For more width and stacking space: 14" Classic.
-
For the ultimate in carrying capacity: 14" Super Classic.
No matter which size you pick, every L. May lunchbox is built with the same proudly Canadian craftsmanship and durable design that’s been trusted for generations.
