Can the three containers snap together WITHOUT the ice pack?

Yes they can. The containers have 'imprints' so that they fit together whether you use the ice pack or not.

Yes, but not as well. The top of the ice pack has 4 small rectangular indents into which the two sides boxes snap. The lid of the pink sandwich container has two small rectangles and one big rectangle, so one snack container snaps tightly into the sandwich lid, but the snack container that ends up above the large rectangle doesn't snap as snugly/easily.

Yes, but the plastic (acrylic) canisters seem pretty thin. One cracked when I was trying to close it. Not very good quality material on the containers.

I have not seen this particular snap ware container offered in Amazon except as one at a time. So try sending this question to Amazon about this item and they can answer it a lot better than I can.

Yes! They won't fit nicely into each other like regular ice cube trays, but once frozen you can stack them.

You could, but of course the ice would melt and your items would get wet. I recommend the slim, flat, square ice packs. Two fit in the bottom, then you can put more in-between things. Or try the flexible ice packs, or a combination of the two types.

You may be able to assemble this without inserting the divider. Although, the cubes are very roomy and would accommodate throws with the divider.

Yes, you can remove the plastic ice container and still use the lid. But just F.Y.I. I'm sending mine back because the first time I tried to wash it, it cracked from top to bottom. It was almost as if the whole thing is just too heavy and there was too much stress at the handle. I also was not aware that the insert was plastic. That was a bummer.

This does not come with the ice pack in the lid. It has a lid that fits and closes snuggly without having to zip it up, which makes it easier and quicker to open and close it. I don't know if you would be able to find any ice packs that would fit perfectly on the lid without falling off. I don't think this one is made for that feature unless you rig it up somehow.

Yes, we snap four together. We were initially concerned about the weight, but they are made of a pretty tough plastic and four is not a problem. I am sure that five or six would be fine, but you have all those extra lids. Dave

You should be able to. All the parts interchangeable there is no certain way it has to be put together. Each cup holds a full measuring cup of snacks, I pack all three full for my toddler and he never eats it all. It is by far the biggest I've seen of any others sold.

You do not need water. You simply fold them in half and it snaps, then you shake it. It is instantly cold and remains cold for a few hours.

You could do this, provided the space was just barely wider than the containers on their sides. As others have said, they're flat, so they stack, but there's nothing holding them together, so if they have room to move, they'll move. When you stack them normally, the feet on the top container slot into slots in the underneath container, so they are solidly connected.

Yes to both your questions. Lid with handle and containers are completely separate.

Yes and the best way to keep them together is to use the cold pack in between them. For some reason the lunch blox seem to snap together better into the cold pack than another lunch blox container.

Maybe. I never had that happen. I think the container would probably crack.

Yes. I was able to fit three 8 oz and and a small (4oz?) as long as I took the ice pack out.

There is a groove that the ice pack sit on. Then you are able to place the mini containers on top of the ice pack. Nothing is being squished. I hope this helps.
