Decent lunch boxes for teens.

I bought Sistema ones in the photos. The first week we realised that they weren't fit for purpose when strawberry juice leaked out of the top bit (where they advertise you can store strawberries!) They don't have any sort of seal on them.
Then shortly after one of the smaller lids came away at the hinge point (which is pretty thin) followed by the same happening on the other box.
They both just have them in their school bags, both at high school so not throwing their bags around.
Does anyone have any advice on better ones?
Need to have compartments so I can pick everything into one box. Won't bother with sistema again. I thought they would be good but they really weren't!

I use a different sistema one and line the compartment with kitchen roll if putting strawberries in

I dont use the little tub (dh steals that for dressing for his salad) and I take out the small plastic shelf so you can fit more fruit in. I put a bit of kitchen roll above and below strawberries as it soaks up any juice

Same as dementedpixie here. Love them and they are so flexible and easier to clean than the quaddies. Anything really wet goes in the yoghurt pot, and the shelves are used or not depending on what they are having. The small square sections fit an apple or a slightly opened pack of crisps. We have one large rectangular one and one smaller square one
