Quick Answer
To replace the lid on your Mepal Take a Break lunchbox, order the exact replacement lid for your model and color, then simply press it into place. Ensure it clicks securely and test the seal before use.
Why Use a Genuine Replacement Lid?
Using a genuine Mepal replacement lid ensures a perfect fit and maintains the quality of your lunchbox. Third-party lids may not seal properly, leading to leaks or spills.
Mepal offers replacement lids in various colors, so you can refresh the look of your lunchbox or match it to your style.
Compatibility: Know Your Model
The Take a Break lunchbox comes in different sizes, and the lid for the midi (bento) version is not the same as the one for the minibox. Always check the model name and size before ordering.
For example, the replacement lid for the Take a Break midi (bento) lunchbox is specifically designed for that model, while the minibox lid fits only the minibox in the bento set.
Steps to Replace Your Mepal Take a Break Lid
- Identify your lunchbox model: Check the bottom of your lunchbox or the original packaging to confirm whether you have the midi (bento) size or the minibox. This ensures you order the correct replacement lid. Common mistake: ordering a lid for the wrong size. Double-check the model name before purchasing.
- Order the correct replacement lid: Purchase a genuine Mepal replacement lid that matches your lunchbox model and desired color. For example, choose the Nordic sage lid for the midi (bento) or the Vivid mauve lid for the minibox. Checkpoint: Confirm the color and model in the product description before adding to cart.
- Remove the old lid: Gently pull the old lid off the lunchbox. If it has closing clips, unclip them first. Do not force it; if it resists, check for any locking mechanisms. Common mistake: pulling too hard can damage the lunchbox base. Work slowly and evenly.
- Attach the new lid: Align the new lid with the base and press down evenly around the edges until it clicks into place. If your lid has clips, secure them properly. Checkpoint: Ensure the lid sits flush and does not wobble.
- Test the seal: Fill the lunchbox with a small amount of water or shake it gently to check for leaks. If water seeps out, remove the lid and reattach it, ensuring it is properly aligned. Common mistake: assuming the lid is sealed without testing. Always do a quick leak test before packing your lunch.
