Hello. I’m Mary Lou Palazzolo, and I invented the Pranzo Bag. The word “pranzo” translates to “lunch” in Italian. It solves the problem of keeping your contents hot or cold for several hours at any temperature – indoors or outdoors. I used to carry my lunch to work every day in a plastic grocery bag. One day, as I was frantically searching for my lunch in a crowded work refrigerator, a co-worker suggested that I purchase a lunch bag so that I would not have to sift through a mound of bags to find mine. I explained that I searched online and in retail stores and could not find one that appealed to me. They either look like a knitting bag or a fishing tackle box. I then said, “Gosh, if someone would make one that was more fashionable and did not look like one of those typical lunch bags, I’d buy one!”

That was my “Ah-Ha” moment, and it’s when I decided to manufacture my stylish insulated bag, which would also convert to a handbag. When I saw first-hand the numerous plastic bags, paper bags, and plastic bottles are thrown out every day, I decided to make mine eco-friendly.

I worked very hard to design and research the finest components to use. I also discovered a new, patented, anti-bacterial, and reflective RFID product (made in the U.S.A.) that I would use for the lining. Using this material for the lining, the Pranzo Bag needs no refrigeration.

My passion and determination resulted in receiving a United States Patent for the Pranzo Bag.

I saw a need, and I filled it.

Go “green” and keep reading for simple things you can do today to help reduce your environmental impact.

Ciao!
