From what I've managed to find via a google image search is that it's a fan made custom lunchbox. Saw a few different styles on there including the one you show. Pimp my Batmobile has one on his site but in a different design or maybe showing the other side? Pinterest has a few that people are showing in their collections as well. Sorry I couldn't find out more for you.
Music. BAT! Music.

Only other info I could find says they were for the 45th Anniversary of the show and only 66 were made. I saw all those Pintrest photos but they didn't include any info.

They are handmade, and not licensed. There were various products made with the same style Photoshopped artwork marketed with the "limited to 66" sales technique on eBay by the same seller a year or so back.

The artwork featured is by an artist called Christopher Franchi.

He was initially was producing unlicensed items (such as this lunch box) featuring his digital illustrations. Over time he has gone on to produce artwork for licensed DC/Classic TV Batman Merchandise, including packaging for models, pin ball machines and probably most notably, the DVD/BluRay artwork for "Return of The Caped Crusaders".

I was able to buy one from Chris. They went for big $$$ on eBay but it’s the only 1966 lunchbox
