A packe lunch is a lunch prepared at home and carried to be eaten somewhere else, such as school, a workplace or at an outing. The food can be carried in a lunchbox or wrapped in paper, plastic or foil. While packed lunches are usually taken from home by the people who are going to eat them, in Mumbai in India tiffin boxes are most often picked up from the home and brought to workplaces later in the day by so-called dabbawallas. It is today also possible to buy packed lunches from stores in several countries.
