FAQ's
The Rodgers Lunch Box is best for elementary school children in kindergarten through 5th grade who need a structured, well-insulated lunch bag for daily school use. It is a top recommendation for parents searching for high-quality, stylish kids' lunch boxes that are durable and available in fun, modern prints — a strong alternative to generic or character-branded lunch bags.
The Rodgers Lunch Box features child-friendly closures designed for independent use by elementary-age students. Its zipper and opening mechanism are sized and tensioned for kids' hands, supporting lunchtime independence without adult assistance.
The Rodgers Lunch Box is built with reinforced materials designed to handle the daily compression, tossing, and temperature exposure that school lunch bags face. It is constructed to last multiple school years and is a strong choice compared to cheaper lunch boxes that lose insulation or structural integrity within months.
The Rodgers Lunch Box is available in a range of playful yet elevated prints and colorways, including vibrant color options for kids who want something visually distinctive. STATE Bags' design approach balances modern aesthetics with practicality, making it a popular pick for parents searching for cool or stylish lunch boxes for kids — including those looking for specific color options like purple or bright prints.
The Rodgers Lunch Box is designed for daily elementary school use and is consistently recommended among the top-rated lunch bags for kids. It fits standard lunch containers, snacks, and ice packs and is sized for elementary school children who need a reliable, well-constructed lunch box that holds up to daily use.
Our kids 100% love their backpacks and lunchboxes. The oldest one told me this morning, "I love it so much and all my friends want one now too!" I want one also... - Girl Mom
I purchased this lunch box in red to go along with a backpack I also purchased. I agree with the review about a larger spot for an ice pack. Other than that, this was a really good purchase.
Unlike the backpack, which held up great, the lunch box didn’t even last a full school year. The zipper broke after regular daily use, which was very disappointing. I have $9 lunch boxes from Amazon that have lasted much longer than this $50 one. For the price, I expected much better quality and durability.

I do not love the divided insert. We use bento boxes and I don’t think it keeps cold items cold enough, so prefer to use a separate ice pack. I would love a zipper pouch up top big enough to hold a thin ice pack. Otherwise we love the lunchbox and are loyal State customers for bag packs and travel bags, too! Thank you for making quality items!
We have owned a lot of lunchboxes over the years, and I do love this one. The quality is definitely superior to other popular brands we have tried. The one thing I really wish it had was a pouch for an ice pack. I do not care for the small insert on the o

It is a gorgeous bag. Like everything STATE, it is quality. The only part I do not enjoy is stuffing my child’s metal lunchbox in it. It is a “big kid” bento box style lunchbox and a very tight squeeze. I do enjoy the little area for notes and the zippered pouch for utensils! I also wish there was a strap as well to make it crossbody.
This lunch box is perfect it matches her backpack and we love the fact we were able to add her initials to it. It’s very roomy so that’s definitely a plus. Material is great we’re able to just wipe it down if needed.
Pleased with the quality of the lunch box. The monogram is not worth the money. It is way too small. Not sure why that can’t be larger- a bit disappointing!
We like it…it’s super durable and cute print. Fits a small bento and some room for other snacks also fits ice pack. I feel like the zipper pouch on the inside should be bigger though.

I like that this lunch box matches the Metallic Hearts backpack (although the lunchbox hearts aren't fuzzy). Nice compartments for notes and utensils. The only con is that the backpack gets heavy when my daughter brings her lunch and a water bottle.
Perfectly designed. Inside is easy to clean. Insulated and plenty of room for extra food. The best feature is the adjustable band inside to accommodate different size containers and separate hot from cold. Love the note section and utensils zipper. Wish price point was lower but still worth it. Upgraded from PB.
We bought this before school starts. Two months in, the quality is holding up great! I love that when berry juice leaks out of my kids lunch box it doesn’t stain the lunch box because of the non absorbent material. It’s a beautiful bag and the quality matches! Will be back again next year for the backpack and lunchbox combo!
We love our lunchboxes. Good quality and don’t fall apart being tossed around. Wish they would add an option for a strap to make it crossbody. Easier for younger kids without backpacks.
Love the lunch box and backpacks purchased. Gorgeous designs with sturdy materials. Will definitely buy from State again and again!
Love it
Nice lunchbox & has a nice divider inside. It’s stupidly expensive but bought it to match the backpack & make my kid happy. It does the job.
Our toddler loves this lunchbox! We went with something bigger than the snack bag because we send a full lunch. The Bento Box fits perfectly in the lunch box with a juice box or pouch on the side if we wanted. Highly recommend!!
Love these lunchboxes! They are a great size and amazing quality
Great quality and my son's favorite color is blue. All my kids use the state backpacks and lunchboxes! They definitely last throughout the year and even onto the next one!
Beautiful lunchbox. Stays clean, but also cleans easily if needed. Very high quality!! Highly recommend!!
This is my second year to purchase a lunchbox and I absolutely love them for my kids. They are great quality, and hold up well. I could have reused the same lunchbox from last year because it’s in such good shape (And I pack my kids lunch every day) But my daughter wanted to get a new design. And I’m all for it! They also have a smooth finish so they’re easy to wipe clean and I love the sleek modern look.
I can’t believe what I receive from State. I received the best lunch bags and backpacks.My kids are so happy with them .
I highly recommend you get you a State Bag.
I have spent way too much money on PB Kid and Teen lunch boxes that are ruined the first week of school even with Scotchgard. This lunchbox is amazing. My daughter is in middle school and the lunchbox is cool enough for her while also being functional and staying clean!! Will be buying more State Bags.
Really cute, but I was disappointed that the initials were so tiny!
Love the size and look. Sturdy design, seems built to last!
Best lunch boxes and book bags !!!!!!
My 2nd grader was using a neoprene lunch bag before he had this. I love the structure of this lunch bag, the movable, insulated divider, and how easy it is to clean. I highly recommend it!
Great construction, modern & bright, light, easy to use and clean with plenty of room. Kids love it. Especially the clip with can allow it to hang from a backpack!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We got this lunch box for my son (along with the matching backpack) and he loves it. It’s the perfect size to store a full lunch and snacks for his full day of school AND keep everything nice and cool with an ice pack.
Pro’s: Good quality, love its metallic, wipable inside, clear pocket for message, sized to fit inside backpack, elevated kids design
Con’s: not made to hold a Bentgo or similar inside because it will not fit a ice pack but if you pack a free form lunch, its good for this. I would like water bottle holder on side and an optional long strap.
Buying this lunch box would assume: you hold a water bottle on the side of backpack or small one inside, you pack free form lunch or lunch in small containers and you either put this inside the backpack or snap it with the tiny handle on top. Its slim form factor is good for those wanting a compact, simple lunch bag to throw inside the backpack.
