Add variety to your made-from-home lunches and snacks by using the Take A Dip container. Take A Dip portable containers are designed to hold small meals and snacks that are served with a dip or dipping sauce, without the fuss and waste of multiple containers.

With the Take A Dip container, you can safely pack your main food or snack in the larger section of the container, and then also pack a sauce or dip in the smaller leak-proof compartment that’s nestled within the same container. With a tight-sealing lid on the dip compartment, the dip stays separated from the other food and snacks until it’s time to eat.

The Take A Dip container offers the convenience of taking a variety of foods and dip in a single leak-proof container to the office, to school, on the road, or any time you’re on the go. Portable, non-breakable Take A Dip containers are available in multiple colors and two sizes, so you can pack a perfect-sized lunch or snack with dip for everyone in your family.

Enjoy A Greater Variety of Food from Home with Dip On the Side

With the handy dip compartment, you’ll find a good number of food combinations that can be ideally packed “to go” in the Take A Dip container. Consider these tasty combinations for starters:

Fresh fruit with yogurt dip

Sliced apples with peanut butter

Fresh vegetables with hummus

Chicken nuggets with ketchup

Carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing

Yogurt and fruit with granola (keep your granola topping crunchy in the smaller compartment)

Apples with caramel sauce

Chips with guacamole

Tater tots with ketchup

French toast sticks or mini-pancakes with syrup

Take care that the combination of foods placed in the Take A Dip container will be served at the same temperature—either both refrigerated, both room temperature, or both warmed in the microwave.

Eat Healthy, Control Calories, Spend Less

By packing food at home, and with the convenience of packing food and dip combinations in the portable Take A Dip container, you’ll find it easier to eat healthier foods and control calories when you’re on the go. You’ll save money, too, by packing your lunch and snacks at home rather than pay for a restaurant meal or vending machine splurge.

Consider these healthful advantages of home-made snacks and lunches:

Kids are more likely to eat vegetables and healthier snacks if they can dip them in yogurt, peanut butter or other favorite dips.

With a convenient dip option, you can pack meals that are more similar to your favorite fast-food meals, without the extra salt, sugar and fat that come with the fast-food version.

By packing a light lunch or snack using ingredients that you truly enjoy, you’ll be more satisfied with your to-go meal and less likely to opt for restaurant take-out instead.

With a pre-measured amount of dip, you won’t be tempted to over-indulge with a larger serving.

Because you pack each ingredient, you can be assured of the freshness, cleanliness and quality of the food that you eat.

For added health advantage, the Take A Dip container is constructed of PBA-free material.

Lunch-On-The-Go Variety

For better nutrition, lower budget and lunch-on-the-go variety, you can’t beat the Take A Dip container. Try a different lunch or snack every day of the week. You’ll find the larger and smaller Take A Dip sizes—2-cup container with 2-oz. dip compartment, and 3-cup container with 3-oz. dip compartment—suitable for almost all your lunch and snack needs.

Take A Dip containers may be used in the microwave. They are top-rack dishwasher safe and BPA-free. Color combinations include blue and green, orange and yellow, purple and red.

For added variety for lunch on the go, try the Salad Blaster, which lets you pack salads and salad dressing in a single, portable container.

Take A Dip and Salad Blaster containers are available from Compac Industries, Inc.
