Citing economic uncertainties and significant price competition, Bag Makers’ sales were roughly flat in 2025, promoting a drop of one spot on this year’s list. The Union, IL-based supplier has long been primarily focused on the bag category but started off 2026 with a notable product expansion – which the company says is set to be the main priority this year – into hard packaging and “event essentials” like banners and lanyards. Bag Makers was also named to this year’s Counselor Best Places to Work list, rating particularly high for employee job satisfaction.
