A packed lunch (also called pack lunch, sack lunch or brown-bag lunch in North America) is a lunch which is prepared before arriving at the place where it is to be eaten. Typically, it is prepared at home or at a hotel, or produced commercially for sale in vending machines (especially in Japan) or at convenience stores. They are often eaten in a school or workplace, or on an outing.
