Note: What happened to Tupperware Singapore? News broke in 2023 that Tupperware was in trouble. In 2024, news reported that Tupperware has filed for bankruptcy protection after a year of struggling with sales. We’re republishing this story in case you want to get your hands on some Tupperware in Singapore today.
If you grew up in the '70s through '90s, you might remember aplenty Tupperware booths, neighbourhood stores, and the Tupperware-wielding aunties who were part of the MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) sales programme knocking on your retro HDB gate and door. They said that one set of Tupperware was all you'd ever wanted - it will meet all your family members' needs. Plus, the plastic it was made such high quality that you could allegedly pass down several generations just like Patek Philippe.
Well, the aunty who sold my mother the 40-odd-piece Tupperware containers did not lie. The multitude of bulky, tacky rainbow-coloured air-tight containers are now hogging space in my tiny HDB BTO... because my mother "gifted" it to me.
I continue to use these betrothed Tupperware water bottles (Oh, the explosive spills when you finally yank open the lid!) and tubs daily for leftover food in my fridge only because the ultra air-tight rubber lids never fail to give me a great arm workout. Of course, I cursed and swore at Tupperware's existence every single time I had to fight tooth and nail with the air-tight lid - not until news broke that Tupperware was going bust and may soon shutter. No way!
Swimming in my conflicted gravy of nostalgia and guilt, I have decided to round up some online shops you can buy Tupperware in Singapore to show them a little support and keep them going.
Before we start, you should know that there are genuine and fake Tupperwares out there online or in-stores. You can quite easily tell them apart from the packaging (should have the Tupperware cardboard box), price point, thickness of plastic, and the famous air-tight lids. On the lids, the Tupperware logo should also be embossed... in English, obviously. Here are some shops you can still get your hands on Tupperware in Singapore.
Tup SG
We can’t really tell if this Tupperware shop is an authorised distributor of the Tupperware universe. Tup SG is, however, very active with swanky new Tupperware products for your family - think My Little Pony containers, ice trays, lunch boxes, and Disney-themed sets. Also, if your Tupperware round canisters’ lid is wrecked, you can get replacements quite easily from this website (around $8.10 for a lid).
You’ll have to order online, and opt for courier delivery (no self-collection or normal mail). You get free delivery for purchases above $180.
Tupperware SG Online Store Shopee
Pretty much the same as every other Tupperware store, you can expect to find the usual classic Tupperware water bottles, flip-top water jugs, sandwich boxes, and round canisters on this Shopee Tupperware SG Online Store. Again, you will find replacement parts such as bottle caps and canister lids here on this Tupperware Shopee store.
However, with Shopee, you do get a little more discounts with the shop’s vouchers and Shopee’s regular vouchers. Ah, and free shipping, of course!
Tupperware Singapore
Arguably the main Tupperware online store in Singapore, this authorised distributor used to sell a very comprehensive range of Tupperware products, as well as other kitchen appliances and utensils from other brands. The website has been down, unfortunately.
Tupperware Verified Store Lazada
Maybe it’s the photographs they use, but the selection of Tupperware on this Lazada store looks so much more modern than the others - straying from the tacky ‘80s Tupperware look. The water bottles, lunch boxes, and storage boxes come in the classic rainbow Tupperware colours.
These products are shipped from a mix of China and “Overseas” - if ready-stock and availability matters to you. As with most Tupperware products, these are not the cheapest things. A round lunchbox will set you back by $21.09 easily.
Happy Tupper
With a 4.9-star rating (over 6,900 ratings) and over 3,900 followers to boot, this Happy Tupper store on Shopee and Lazada has been a Tupperware go-to for the past few years. You’ll find most of the signature and classic Tupperware bottles, containers, and home organisation gadgets here.
However, wait around to collect discount vouchers, and flash deal days. A classic papaya-shaped Tupperware bottle that usually goes for $15 can see half-price discounts, down to $8.38.
Tupperware Service Center
While some of the Tupperware shops listed above bear their own warranty programmes, there’s a Tupperware service center located near Tai Seng MRT Station, within The Commerze @ Irving.
According to Google reviews left by users, you supposedly have to file a warranty claim on Tupperware Singapore’s website, obtain approval, before you head down to the service center to do your product’s exchange.
However, now that the Tupperware Singapore’s website is down, we’d recommend you give the Tupperware service center a call to check how you can submit a warranty claim before you make the trip!
Tupperware Blossom Set, $26.80
Nothing quite like a full set of Tupperware utensils. This 2-litre Tupperware water pitcher ($26.80) in a tacky blue will always make you feel like a primary school student waiting in line in the canteen for the drinks aunty to pour you your 80cents Milo peng. Complete the look with a set of four matching Tupperware mugs with lids ($22.80).
If you'd like to terrorise your spouse, buy the four-piece Tupperware plate set ($28.30) as well.
Tupperware Blossom Set is available on Lazada or Shopee from $18.80 for the 4-bowl set to $118 for the entire set.
Tupperware RiceSmart 10kg, $125
There are actually numerous Tupperware online stores in Singapore (remember, they are MLM?). Scrolling through their latest products shocked me - there are pretty cool and useful boxes and bins that they now carry, just like this rice storage and dispenser. The cup-shaped dispenser gives you exactly one cup (150g) of rice every time, how convenient!
This tub holds exactly a 10kg bag of rice, and measures 39.2cm length x 18.8cm width x 37.8cm height.
Pop over to the Tupperware online store and you'll also find some nice and swanky Hari Raya/ Ramadan storage box sets etc.
Tupperware RiceSmart 10kg is available from Tupperware Brands SG at $125. The Tupperware RiceSmart 5kg is also available from Robinsons at $59.
Tupperware Eco Bottle Flip Top, $21.21
Oh, you must not miss the all-time retro classic: the papaya-shaped Tupperware water bottle! In premium gold at that, guys.
Now, this bottle holds a whopping 750ml of water - no wonder it always weighed like a brick in my school bag.
Tupperware Eco Bottle Flip Top in Premium Gold (750ml) is available from TUP at $21.21. You can also find more colours and sizes (1L, 500ml, 310ml) from Amazon and Lazada.
Tupperware Click To Go Lunch & Meal Box, $48.50
What could be better than a Tupperware tingkat? Honestly, it makes a perfect humorous gift for a good friend or family member who loves to cook, eat, and a dose of goofy.
For $47.70, you get four food containers, and a top handle that can take up to 6kg in weight. All four containers add up to 900ml in capacity. Each food container measures 22.2cm length x 14.3cm wide x 5.3cm height.
There are smaller two-tier and round tingkat options available, too.

Tupperware Steam-It Steamer Racks, $19.30
This one is wild - who would have thought that Tupperware steamer racks existed? The Tupperware Steam-It comes with two steamer racks and a lid. On the base of the steamer racks are your usual holes for steam to pass through, although the base is grooved so water can drain out of the holes, and ridged so food doesn't get completely stuck to the steamer base (if you're placing your cakes, pastries, or buns directly).
Finally, the Tupperware material is hydrophobic so water will be repelled and drip out easily. And it's red - what a nice and vibrant alternative to the usual steel and transparent steamer racks!
