Spencil Big Cooler Habitat Lunch Bag in Exclusive Threatened Aussies Print + Chill Pack

Habitat Big Cooler Lunch Bag

Spacious. Sustainable. Seriously cute. Crafted entirely from sustainable, PVC-free materials, generously sized and thoughtfully designed. As with all Spencil products, it’s built tough to last — but like the threatened Aussie wildlife it celebrates, it does need a little extra care. Unlike our standard lunch bags, this recycled-material range is not machine washable. Customers should spot clean with a sponge and allow the bag to dry thoroughly in the sun, ensuring it’s food-free and completely dry before each use.

Big Chill Pack

The Big Chill Pack is the perfect companion to the Big Cooler Lunch Bag. Certified food safe, this four-layer aluminium gel ice pack helps keep lunches cool throughout the day.

It includes a machine-washable fabric cover to reduce condensation and protect the lunch bag — a feature parents will truly appreciate. Available on its own or bundled with the Big Cooler Lunch Bag for added value.

Mould Prevention Instructions

Spencil made a conscious decision not to use anti-mould coatings on products, as available coatings can be harmful to both human health and the environment. Lunch bags used with ice packs naturally create moisture, and when combined with heat and humidity — especially in Australia — this can encourage mould growth. By following a few simple care steps, you can help reduce the likelihood of mould forming in your lunch bag.

Freeze the chill pack without its cover:

The black outer pouch supplied with the Chill Pack is designed to help reduce the moisture naturally created by the frozen gel pack. To minimise condensation inside the lunch bag, freeze the inner silver gel pack flat and without the black cover.

Make sure the cover is completely dry before placing it back onto the frozen pack and into the lunch bag. Wash the black outer cover regularly in warm, soapy water (or occasionally in the washing machine). For extra freshness, wipe it thoroughly with vinegar, then allow it to dry completely — preferably overnight — before reuse.

Clean your bag:

Lunch bags made from recycled plastics should be spot cleaned only using a damp cloth or gentle sponge. If a deeper clean is needed, continue spot cleaning — do not machine wash this bag.

Dry it out completely:

Drying your lunch bag thoroughly in a well-ventilated area before its next use is the most important step in preventing mould.

After your daily wipe-down, leave the bag open and air it on a drying rack or clothesline each night, either hanging or standing on one end. Make sure there’s plenty of airflow around the bag.

For best results, dry the lunch bag outdoors whenever possible — ideally in the sun, with the printed side facing sunlight.

Give it some sun:

After thoroughly washing your lunch bag, the final and most effective defence against mould is the sun — nature’s most powerful mould prevention and removal tool.

Whenever possible, dry both your lunch bag and the black Chill Pack cover in direct sunlight. Position the bag so all printed sides face the sun, either pegged to a clothesline or placed upside down on a drying rack.

Keep in mind that the inner padding can take longer to dry than the visible lining and outer fabric. An overnight dry is strongly recommended before placing the bag back into the confined space of a backpack for the day.
