What's Your #LunchboxStory?
Since its inception, L. May MFG has deployed over 1 million sturdy lunch boxes for workers across Canada, the United States, Australia, and Europe.
To this day, the lunchboxes are still manufactured in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, often being passed down by generations as family heirlooms.
Our community always has a story about their lunchbox and derives pleasure in telling tales about where fathers have passed their lunchboxes to their children. Carrying something every day of one's working career becomes part of one's life
Hear from our numerous happy customers!

I received my lunchbox today, I just wanted to express my sincere thank you to you all for the exceptional lunchbox you made me . It’s absolutely perfect. I will enjoy many , many years of joy and pride of ownership. It reminds me of my fathers that he use to have. He has since passed on. Nothing can replicate that distinct-full noise the handle makes in the morning or when arriving home. Or the opening / closing of the latchesthanks againsincere, Loyal customer

I started my career at a Saskatchewan coal mine in October of 1979 with this L.May
lunchbox in my hand. We are both still here, a little scratched and dented but still going strong. Nice to see that a company that made such a great product still going years later.

First one lasted approx 3yrs & got squashed by a scoop tram, so that was the end of that. 2nd one saw me right through to my retirement, so approx 20yrs old; I left that one with my son in Humboldt. My Co-worker Billy Danylczuk, who sadly is no longer with us, placed an order with you & I purchased my 3rd in 2002 & brought it back to the UK with me. It has been on several beach trips & in the harvest field when helping my brother on the farm & at the granite factory I worked at, wouldn't have been without it.They a got well used & still take my latest one out on picnics here & have had many comments on it.

The hardest working man I know retired yesterday. He carried this lunch pail to work underground for 43 years. The last 31 years of his career was working for Vale, the same place I now work. When people who have worked with him realize he is my dad, they would immediately gush about how hard of a worker he is and a great miner he is. I am very proud to call The Legend my dad.

This is my pail used above and underground. 1976-2016(retired) slightly bent and little modification but still did the job. Saw some pretty hard use. The real story here tho is I had the same model from 1971-1976. Lost that one off a sno-jet on the way to work. A fellow picked it up on the highway and recognized my name but put it in his garage, thinking to find me and return it. About 25 years later ( garage cleanup), it resurfaced and was returned. My son put it to work right away then, and it has been traveling above and underground with him ever since. Great products!

I've had this lunch pail since 1988. It's been with me while I was working road construction, in a particleboard mill, and since 2006 in a paper mill. You'll never see me buy a cheap cooler bag every year. At my current job, I'm the only one with a proper lunch pail, or as I call it, my crumb bucket. I find it incredible that you can see the rub marks on the front where I open the latches. The new generation is constantly commenting on it at work.

This box was bought for me on Father’s Day about 7 years ago. I have the seat pad for it also. It’s been to: North mine, South mine, Totten mine, Coleman mine, Fraser mine, Onaping Deep, Garson mine, Creighton mine, Stobie, 777 Flin Flon Manitoba, K2 Esterhazy Saskatchewan, Compass Minerals Goderich, Kemano British Columbia, New Gold Kamloops BC, Hope Bay Nunavut, and 8000 feet down, A little rust from the salt mines and a strap so no fellow employees can flip the latches while I’m walking lol. My Dad had one for 32 years at Frood

I still have two from 1974 when I started working underground. I'm now retired 8 years and the smaller one makes a great bullet box for my hunting. The bigger one is on the shelf waiting for a purpose. My father who retired in 1988 nailed his to the cloths line pole for cloths pins and it is still being used today, rust free and like new. Keep up the good quality.

I've worked for the Railway for 13 years now and can't count the amount of lunch pails I've purchased. Working in extreme weather condition for long days and nights I could never find the perfect most suitable lunch pale for my needs. That is until I purchased the "Super Classic" fromLmayminerslunchbox.caI purchased this beauty in March this year and instantly knew it was a keeper.
I've added a type of divider and a couple other features to make it my own and hope to have it the rest of my career and pass it on to one of my 3 children when I retire. So glad I supported a business like yours.
This week, 2/3s of the other members of my crew bought theirs and are anxiously waiting by the mail box. Don't worry, the 4th member is window shopping now.
Cheers and thanks for the great product.
