Bag Makers CEO Maribeth Sandford says that relationships are everything for her company. “It sounds simple, but our top goal is to continue to strengthen current business relationships with our customers and the buying groups that look to Bag Makers as one of their preferred suppliers,” she says. The firm, a 2024 Counselor Best Place to Work, had sales decline by 2.6% but found traction in additions like USA-made nonwoven totes, and the ability to print and convert its digital full-color die-cut bags in-house, allowing the Union, IL-based supplier to offer lower quantities and custom sizes.
