Packing a good lunch is one of the small, important acts of care that happens in Indian households every single morning. Whether it's a school tiffin for a child heading out at seven, an office lunchbox for someone commuting in the afternoon heat, or a vacuum-insulated carrier for a traveller who needs food to stay hot for hours — the right tiffin makes the difference between a satisfying meal and a disappointing one. The tiffins and lunchboxes range at Girdhar Das & Sons brings together 67 products across six trusted brands — Milton, Nayasa, DUBBLIN, Borosil, Breeze, and PEXPO — spanning every product type from basic school steel tiffins to insulated bento boxes, vacuum steel tiffins, and borosilicate glass lunchboxes. Genuine products, delivered across India.
The range is organised across seven distinct product types. School steel tiffins are the most straightforward — classic stainless steel containers with no insulation, durable and easy to clean, available from Nayasa and Breeze in small, medium, and big sizes. School insulated tiffins are the most popular product type in this range — over 40 options spanning Milton's Bento and Meal Safe series, Nayasa's Marco, Auto Big and Autobot series, and DUBBLIN's Bento range — all with inner steel containers and an insulated outer shell that keeps food reasonably warm through the school morning. Vacuum steel tiffins deliver maximum heat retention through double-wall vacuum insulation, making them appropriate for longer commutes or full-day office use — Milton's Glamour 3-box vacuum tiffin is the standout in this segment. Office tiffins, glass lunchboxes, and thermosteel options round out the range for adult use cases.
A particularly notable feature of this range is the breadth of colour and design options for children's tiffins. The filter on the left allows browsing by design theme — options include Football, Cricket, Astronaut, Cycling, Animals, DC Comics characters (Flash, Wonder Woman), Video Game, Bicycle, Two Frogs, and many more. This reflects the real Indian school tiffin market, where a child's enthusiasm for their lunchbox is not trivial — a tiffin a child is happy to carry is one they'll actually open and eat from.
A school insulated tiffin combines an inner stainless steel container (which is food-safe, odour-neutral, and easy to clean) with an outer insulated shell that slows heat loss. Most models in this range keep food adequately warm for three to four hours — which comfortably covers the gap between packing at home and lunch break at school. Milton's Meal Safe Bento range — available in 2-compartment and 3-compartment versions — are smartly designed, compact, and come in age-appropriate printed designs. The Milton Bravo Bento range in 2 and 3-compartment formats offers sturdy build quality. Nayasa's Marco series (small 2-compartment and big 3-compartment) covers a wide variety of design themes including Football, Soccer, Paris Fashion, and Travel. Nayasa's Autobot range offers bento-style insulated tiffins with bold, active-theme prints like Cycling, Video Game, Football, and Foodie. DUBBLIN's Bento, Twinkle, Tom, and Jerry ranges are particularly popular with younger children thanks to their character-focused designs and bright colour combinations.
For households that prioritise durability and simplicity over thermal retention, plain stainless steel school tiffins remain a solid choice. They have no insulation layer to wear out, no latch mechanisms to break, and are dishwasher-safe. Breeze offers stainless steel school tiffins in the Smart (medium) and Steel Pro (big) variants — simple designs in pure steel finish. Nayasa Zion steel tiffins are available in medium and big sizes. These are among the most affordable tiffin options in the range.
Vacuum steel tiffins use double-wall vacuum insulation — the same technology found in premium thermosteel flasks — to keep food hot for four to six hours or more, depending on the ambient temperature. This makes them the right choice for office-goers who leave home in the morning and eat lunch several hours later, or for anyone who commutes long distances. The Milton Glamour Vacuum Tiffin (3 boxes, available in Black and Cream) is the flagship product in this segment — a well-reviewed option combining robust vacuum insulation with a clean, professional aesthetic. Borosil's Carry Me and Hot N Fresh vacuum lunchboxes offer similar insulation performance in a compact format available in 2 and 3-box configurations.
Office tiffins are designed for adult working professionals — larger capacity boxes, more restrained designs, and practical multi-box arrangements that keep different dishes separate. Milton's Classic Tiffin (3 boxes, Cream & Grey or Steel) is a well-regarded stainless steel option at an accessible price. The Milton Legend Steel Tiffin (3 boxes) and Milton Cubic range (available in small and big, in Green/Grey and Brown/Cream colour options) offer compact, stackable box designs suited to office bag packing. The Milton Essen 7-Piece Set is a comprehensive office lunchbox kit. Milton's Lush Lunch Steel series (3 boxes in Black, Blue, and Green) rounds out the steel office tiffin range with a sleeker finish.
The Borosil glass lunchbox range brings borosilicate glass food containers to the lunchbox category. Available as round sets (2-box and 3-box, 400 ml) and square sets (2-box and 3-box, 320 ml), these glass containers are microwave-safe, odour-neutral, and completely free from any plastic or steel taste transfer. They are the ideal choice for home use, a microwave-equipped office kitchen, or for anyone transitioning away from plastic food containers. The transparent glass also means you can visually inspect the food without opening the container — useful for portion control and hygiene.
The PEXPO Eco Pro tiffins are straightforward, budget-conscious 3-box and 4-box stainless steel lunchboxes — a no-frills option for those who need a functional daily office tiffin without premium features or branding. Built with food-grade stainless steel and a basic locking mechanism, these are a solid entry-level option.
Milton is the dominant brand in this category with 17+ products covering school insulated tiffins, bento boxes, office tiffins, and vacuum steel tiffins. Their Bento series covers the widest variety of configurations (2, 3, and 4-compartment bento-style insulated tiffins in multiple designs), while their Glamour Vacuum Tiffin is the most premium option for heat retention. Milton tiffins are consistently built to practical price points and represent the most versatile selection in the range.
Nayasa leads the school tiffin segment with 22+ options across insulated bento, steel, and Vitamax designs. The Nayasa Marco, Autobot, and DC Comics character series are among the most popular school tiffin choices for children aged 5–12 in India. The brand particularly excels at providing design variety — dozens of colour and theme combinations — that lets parents match a tiffin to a child's specific interests.
DUBBLIN contributes 16 products focused almost entirely on school insulated tiffins for children. The Bento 2, Bento 4, Cuisine, Tom, Jerry, Twinkle, and Feast series span a wide range of themed designs including Racecar, Bicycle, Animals, Two Frogs, Football, and Picnic. DUBBLIN tiffins are designed with visual appeal as a primary consideration — making them a strong choice for younger children who respond well to character and theme branding on their school accessories.
Borosil adds a premium glass lunchbox range and vacuum steel tiffin options that are distinct from anything else in the category — purpose-built for microwave-equipped workplaces and discerning adult buyers. Breeze offers the most affordable stainless steel school tiffin entry points in the Smart and Steel Pro lines. PEXPO rounds out the range with practical multi-box steel tiffins at the budget end of the spectrum.
The most important considerations are leak resistance, ease of opening (children manage latches and lids themselves at school), and appropriate portion size. Insulated tiffins in the small-to-medium range are the right fit for most primary school children. Choose a design your child is enthusiastic about — the probability of the food being eaten goes up significantly when the container itself is something they're proud to pull out of their bag. Browse by design using the Colour or Design filter on the left.
If your office has a microwave, Borosil glass lunchboxes are the most hygienic and convenient option. If you carry your lunch and eat it cold or at room temperature, a well-built stainless steel office tiffin like the Milton Classic or Cubic is sufficient. If you eat several hours after leaving home and want food to stay genuinely hot, invest in a vacuum steel tiffin — the Milton Glamour or Borosil Hot N Fresh are the right choices.
For children, 2-compartment tiffins are usually adequate — one section for rice or roti, one for dal or sabzi. For adults with a more varied lunch, 3-box or 4-box options allow better separation of components and prevent flavour transfer between dishes. The size filters — small, medium, and big — refer to the overall capacity of the tiffin; medium is the most versatile for most purposes.
Tiffins are among the most frequently replaced household items in Indian families — children grow out of their designs, boxes get dented or cracked, and insulation wears down over the years. Having a trusted source you can return to for genuine branded products matters more with tiffins than it does with most kitchen items. Girdhar Das & Sons has been that trusted source for families across Varanasi since 1970 — with every tiffin, lunchbox, and kitchen product stocked being a genuine, brand-sourced item.
The Girdhar Das & Sons store at W.H. Smith School Road, Sigra, Varanasi is open six days a week for walk-in customers, and the full range is available online at gdsons.co.in with pan-India delivery. Customers in Varanasi looking to see the products in person before buying are welcome to visit the store — our team can help compare tiffin types, sizes, and brands based on your household's specific needs.
