Melissa Kieling Biography

Melissa noticed that no single kids lunch bag could keep her children's lunches cool and safe until lunchtime. She'd have to stick toxic freezable gel packs in their lunch boxes, which inevitably got lost, or use wasteful plastic baggies of ice that always leaked.

Taking matters into her own hands, Melissa researched and patented the idea for a lunch bag that had freezable gel built into its lining. In 2009, she launched the PackIt Personal Cooler, the first foldable, freezable bag that keeps food and drinks cool on the go for up to 10 hours—no ice packs needed.

Under her leadership, PackIt's patented technology has expanded from lunch totes into a line of food and drink solutions spanning wine, baby, picnic, and shopping bags that are sold in more than 40 countries internationally.

Melissa lives in Westlake Village, CA, with her three children, who continue to inspire new PackIt product ideas daily.
