Lost ANOTHER Lunch Box? 🍱😤
This Stops Today!

Why Do Lunch Boxes Keep Getting Lost?

Every parent knows the frustration: You spend $30-$60 on a nice lunch box, your child uses it for a few weeks, and then... it vanishes. Left at school. Left at the park. Mixed up with someone else's identical lunch box. Lost in the playground.

The real frustration? These lunch boxes don't actually "disappear" - they're sitting in lost property boxes, taken home by other families by mistake, or left in classrooms. They're findable... but you never get them back because there's no easy way for finders to contact you.

Traditional Solutions Don't Work:

• ❌
  Permanent markers fade - After a few trips through the dishwasher, your carefully written name is illegible
• ❌
  Name stickers peel off - Especially on textured lunch box surfaces. They last a week or two, then gone.
• ❌
  Writing your phone number is risky - Do you really want your mobile number visible to everyone at school?
• ❌
  Kids forget to check lost property - The lunch box is there, but nobody connects it to your child

Common Questions About QR Code Lunch Box Labels

Will it survive the dishwasher?

Yes! When printed on waterproof label paper (or laminated), the QR code survives dishwasher cycles. Hundreds of parents confirm labels lasting entire school years through regular dishwashing.

What if my lunch box is black? Will QR codes work?

Yes! Print the QR code on white label paper or white laminated paper. The white background provides contrast, and the code scans perfectly on dark surfaces.

My child's lunch box has a textured surface. Will labels stick?

For textured surfaces, use strong adhesive label paper. Clean the surface well with rubbing alcohol first. Consider adding a layer of clear packing tape over the label for extra security.

Can I put it inside the lunch box instead of outside?

You can, but outside is better. Finders might not open the lunch box (especially if it's in lost property). Visible QR codes on the outside get scanned immediately.

What if someone scans it by accident?

No problem! When someone scans your QR code, they land on a form asking "Did you find this item?" If they scanned by accident, they simply close the page. You only get notified when someone actually submits the form.

How many lunch boxes can I create labels for?

Unlimited! Generate separate QR codes for each lunch box, drink bottle, food container. Track everything individually. All completely free.
