Bag Makers was awarded Counselor’s Supplier of Year this January, as voted on by distributors, though soon after suffered a crippling malware attack. Company execs acknowledge price increases “due to current tariff rates for products imported from China” and notes its goals include “expanded product offerings, and increasing production staff and capacity.”
