MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack The cult-favourite, now in aluminium.

Still frozen at pickup. Still cold at dinner.

Australian summers are no joke. Neither is this ice pack.

The MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack uses the same independently certified, food-safe gel that's made our original Large Ice Pack a lunchbox staple — now housed in a wipe-clean aluminium outer that seals tighter, handles the heat, and is ready to go again tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions — MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack

How long does the MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack stay cold?

The MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack is designed to keep food cold from school drop-off through to after-school pick-up — and in many cases, well into the afternoon. Performance will vary depending on the temperature outside and whether it's used inside an insulated lunch bag, but paired with a MontiiCo Large Insulated Lunch Bag, most parents find it's still doing its job at the end of the school day. For the best results, freeze the ice pack flat overnight and pop it straight into the bag in the morning.

What's the difference between the Aluminium Ice Pack and the original MontiiCo Large Ice Pack?

Both ice packs use the same independently certified, food-safe gel inside — so cold performance is the same. The difference is the outer casing. The original Large Ice Pack has a nylon outer, while the Aluminium Ice Pack has a firmer aluminium shell that seals more tightly and is easier to wipe clean between uses. If you want a tougher outer, a more secure seal, or simply prefer a wipe-clean finish over nylon, the aluminium version is a great choice. Many families buy one of each to keep rotating.

Does the MontiiCo Aluminium Ice Pack fit inside a MontiiCo Large Lunch Bag?

Yes — it's specifically sized to fit perfectly inside the MontiiCo Large Lunch Bag. At 25cm x 14cm x 2.5cm (including the cover), it slots in snugly so the cold air stays where it needs to be. It is designed to pair with the Large Lunch Bag, not the Mini or Medium sizes.

Is the gel inside the ice pack food safe?

Yes. The gel inside the MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack is independently certified as food safe — the same formula used in the original Large Ice Pack that has sold over 400,000 units. It has been tested to meet food safety standards, so you can pack it right alongside your child's lunch with confidence.

How do I freeze the MontiiCo Aluminium Ice Pack correctly?

Freeze the ice pack flat and without the black fabric cover. This helps it freeze evenly and keeps the cover in good condition. Before putting the ice pack into the fabric cover, check the outside for any frozen residue and wipe it away first. Always use the ice pack inside the included fabric cover when placing it in your lunch bag.

Can I wash the MontiiCo Aluminium Ice Pack?

The aluminium outer is wipe-clean — a quick wipe between uses is all it needs. The included black fabric cover is machine washable, so it's easy to keep fresh. Just remove the cover before freezing and before washing.

Do I need to buy a cover separately?

No — a machine washable fabric cover is included with every MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack. The cover protects your lunch bag from condensation and makes the ice pack comfortable to handle.

What warranty does the MontiiCo Aluminium Ice Pack come with?

The MontiiCo Large Aluminium Ice Pack comes with a 6-month manufacturer's warranty. 

Is this ice pack good for Australian summers?

It was made for them. The aluminium outer creates a tighter seal than a standard nylon ice pack, which helps retain cold even in high-temperature environments. Paired with a MontiiCo insulated lunch bag, it's one of the most reliable options for keeping kids' food fresh and safe through a hot Australian school day.

Can I buy two to keep one rotating?

Absolutely — and it's a great idea. Many MontiiCo parents keep two ice packs so there's always one frozen and ready to go. The aluminium version pairs well with the original Large Ice Pack too, so you can mix and match.
