If you’re getting into reusable food storage, it’s easy to think you need a full set.
Different sizes. Multiple containers. Something for every situation.
But most people don’t actually use all of that.
What they end up using — over and over — is much simpler.
This is usually the first thing people reach for.
A small silicone bag works well for fruit, nuts, crackers, or anything you grab on the way out. It’s light, easy to carry, and doesn’t take up much space in your bag or fridge.
It’s also the piece people keep using without thinking.

This is where most day-to-day use happens.
A slightly larger bag works for sandwiches, cut vegetables, or simple food you want to keep together. It gives you more room, but still stays easy to pack and store.
If you only use one bag regularly, it’s usually this size.
When food needs a bit more structure, a container makes a difference.
For lunch, leftovers, or anything you want to keep in place, a simple container feels more practical. It’s easier to open, easier to eat from, and keeps food from getting crushed.
A mid-size container is usually enough to start.
Most people don’t need more options.
They need the pieces they’ll actually use.
A small bag for snacks.
A medium bag for everyday food.
A container for meals.
That covers most real life without making things complicated.
Durbl’s reusable bags and collapsible containers are designed around exactly this kind of everyday use.
Not a full system you have to manage — just a few pieces that fit into your routine.
And for most people, that’s all it takes to get started.
