Four square plastic trays are shown on a gray surface. Two are deep with a honeycomb pattern; two are open frames. All four items are light blue-green in color and are arranged in pairs side by side.

Removable Panels

Are they meant to be removed often? DEFINITELY NOT!

You'll want to leave the panels in place during day to day use and just throw your SoftShells in the dishwasher with the frame and panels intact.

Why are they removable? So you can deep clean or sterilize them every so often. If you choose to remove them, here's how you put them back in:

(1) Lay the frame flat and place the panels on top of it. (2) Starting at the outer corners of one panel, press along the seam until you’ve made it all the way around. (3) Repeat with the other panel.

Cleaning

Due to its lay-flat design, it easily fits in the dishwasher just like a plate. Cleaning it that way on a regular basis is the fastest, simplest method—no disassembly needed. 

Hard water marks: Remove the panels and boil them in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for 5 minutes (do not boil the frame).

Lingering scents: Rub fresh lemon all over it, wait 15 minutes, then rinse well in hot water. Repeat if needed.

We highly recommend using dye-free, unscented detergents.

Did a little bit of the panel pop out of the frame when cleaning?

Just press it back in!

Microwaving it?

Just vent it open a bit!

Will it stain?

Red sauces, turmeric, and pesto will likely stain the silicone panels. If it does, simply remove the panels from the frame, place them in a flat tray, and soak in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 12 hours.

Our Grape and Raspberry colors are best for use with sauces that may stain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean it?

SoftShell fits in the dishwasher just like a plate on the bottom rack — no disassembly needed.

Hard water marks: Remove the panels and boil them in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for 5 minutes (do not boil the frame).

Lingering scents: Rub fresh lemon all over it, wait 15 minutes, then rinse well in hot water. Repeat if needed.

Stains: Remove the panels from the frame, place them in a flat tray, and soak in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 12 hours.

Can it go in the microwave?

Yes! Just prop it open to vent when doing
so.

Is it water- and air-tight?

SoftShell is designed to hold leftovers, salads, sandwiches, snacks, and foods with thicker sauces and dressings. However, we don’t recommend using it to hold water or items that require an
air-tight seal.

How do I put the panels back into the frame?

The silicone panels can be removed for deep cleaning, but that’s rarely necessary. Should you need to remove them and put them back in, lay the frame flat and place the panel on top of it. Starting at the outer corners, press along the seam inward until you’ve made it all the way around. Repeat with the other panel.

What happens if it looks like it isn’t closing properly?

Look to see if the silicone panels are flush with the frame. Since they’re designed to be removable for occasional deep cleaning, sometimes they get little sections that pop out. If the silicone isn’t flush, it won’t close properly. It’s easiest to do when it’s wet.

Where do they ship from and where are they made?

They ship from Minnesota. They’re made in China, and we have a team on the ground there overseeing manufacturing.

These are actually quite awesome!

I bought these on a whim because my husband was complaining about sandwich bags being wasteful and our cling wrap was AWFUL, so when I saw these I pounced! They are SO helpful and easy to use - they are the first random purchase in the house that's actually being used consistently. We've washed them by hand and put them in the dishwasher - both work great. They also showed up really fast, which we appreciated!

Won’t Adventure without it!

I absolutely love and adore this product. There is not one adventure I don’t take it on. Hikes, kayaking, on the road. It never ends. slim and small enough, it fits perfectly in my day pack. The kids love it and it’s easy to clean. That’s a win in this mom’s book!

No muss, no fuss

Packed my lunch two days in a row using my new containers. No leaks. Reheated beautifully in the microwave. Easy to eat out of. Fits in the dishwasher. No lids to match up. 10 out of 10.
Except one thing….. Next production consider some “adult” colors thanks!

I love these!

I saw these on a YouTube short and gave them a try. They are so handy and easy to wash! I ordered both sizes and found the big ones fit our meal leftovers really well and the smaller ones are so versatile.

Love These!

I'm using the smaller teal containers for prepared healthy after school snacks for my grandkiddo & it's perfect. And the larger one I'm using for all my cut up dipping veggies... so convenient! I'm planning to get more... they're really great space savers too!

Love this flat storage!

I used these right away to freeze dinner-sized salmon filets in the freezer and love being able to freeze them flat, plus they stacked in a small space and will thaw faster because they are flat! This was the container shape I didn't know I needed. Perfect for leftovers, prepared sandwiches or snacks on the go, fruit and vegetables with one cut side, so many uses! I love that the locking mechanism has a tactile element so you can feel which direction is locking. And love that it's easy to clean.

won't keep my food fresh at all.

when I put my leftovers in and closed it and pressed out the air before putting it in the freezer, it immediately puffed back up to shape. The seal is terrible. I have very little faith these will keep food fresh, or not leak if there is any moisture or condensation in the container. Bummer, I was trying to get away from the plastic zip bags. I feel like I have wasted my money. I wanted very badly to like them since the design is awesome, and they're super easy to clean, and dishwasher safe.
I have to eat low histamine and that requires all my leftover food to be immediately frozen after cooking. These won't protect my food from freezer burn :(

Best thing I've added in a long time

I've used the standard plastic zip locks, parchment paper bags and silicone bags none of them compare! Fit my sourdough cut in half and buttered along with my avocado spread. Sturdy, eco and health conscious with top notch functionality!

Great idea but so much plastic waste

I usually use stasher or similar brand bags. I love that these open all the way, just wish there was a way to do it without plastic. I hope they hold up well. My 7 & 11 yr old have no problem opening & closing them for lunch. I was really disappointed how much plastic & paper trash came in the packaging (reason for docking a star). Each bag was individually wrapped in thick paper, with a pamphlet inside then wrapped in plastic. A QR code would have been sufficient to give me any needed info about the product or info about the makers/owners etc. I think it's safe to presume everyone washes before use so wrapping it in cardstock & then plastic was not necessary. I did love that my set came with a build able straw, I carry a small purse & always have trouble finding a small straw that fits, the build able one is so smart but again in plastic :( I wish the container was metal. I love the net bag for produce at the market and that it balls up tiny to stuff in my car to have handy when necessary.

Fully realize toy storage is not the intended use for this product, but had to leave the house in a hurry, and it looked so cute that I wanted to share!

The Softshell container is an excellent choice for food storage. The secure lid is a huge plus(think no more hunting down missing lids). It's also easy to clean, I run it thru the dishwasher and it dries so quickly. Overall, I highly recommend the Softshell to anyone looking for a convenient and hassle-free storage solution.

Ive been trying to stay away from disposable plastic for my kids lunches and this has been perfect. It's not too bulky but keeps their food from being smooshed and it's pretty too!

Obsessed with this brand

I’ve repurchased twice now because I love these products so much. They hold so much, are truly dishwasher safe, and have lasted me years now without issue. I have two different sizes and love them both. Seriously, get these!!

Non-toxic easy to clean

I have been trying to get rid of as much plastic as possible at home. We go through so many Ziploc bags and I did not want to give them my money any longer. I’m glad I purchased this. It is easy to open and lock for my little eight year old, as well as easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher. When I get a chance, I will probably order another bundle of this.

Cute storage

They are larger than I anticipated. They can fit probably a sandwich and a half. They worked well for sending in lunch for school. I do like snap and slide closure making the food inside secure. I have only used them a few times at this point. While you can create an “air pouch” inside to protect crunchy treats, it doesn’t seem to make a significant difference in the crushing factor in comparison to packing plastic bag of chips or likewise snack. The colors are cute and I do like that they are dishwasher safe and a good alternative to the constant snack size bag use. I do just wish they came in like half sizes for simple snack packing.

Doesn’t hold in liquid

I missed the part where they said these aren’t liquid tight. How do they then “replace zip lock bags”?

Easy Peasy

Clean, efficient lunch packing for my three kiddos. They use the container as a plate to make their sandwiches then seal it up with a click. I love that we aren’t going through multiple plastic bags. They love that their sandwiches aren’t smushed.

Great for busy mom lunch prep!

As a busy, pregnant toddler mom, I’m always looking for ways to make meal prep and cleanup easier. These SoftShell containers have been so convenient for making my lunch while packing my toddler’s for school.

They snap closed with a sliding lock and open flat into a plate which is my favorite feature! There’s no separate lid to hunt down, and I can eat right from the container without getting another plate dirty.

They open flat for easy rinsing and go in the dishwasher. Being microwave and freezer safe is a nice bonus, too. A practical addition to our lunch routine!

Great product!! Better than normal reusable baggies

We bought these since typical reusable ziplock bags warp with use and can’t close properly. These are a GAME CHANGER. easy to wash and easy to use. You also can fit a lot more in one of these than typical reusable ziplock bags.

So handy!

These are wonderful! Received them very quickly and have already used them for a road trip. They are a great alternative to plastic bags - love that they can go in the dishwasher and that they open completely. It’s so hard to get the silicone baggies clean sometimes.

Great for Lunches

I have been very big about reusable lunch containers for years. I had a great set of silicone bags but they have always been a hassle to clean. I was drawn to this model specifically because of the hinge design. I was hesitant because it seemed small but it has fit my sandwich for lunch perfectly! I highly recommend if you are looking to decrease plastic waste.
