Affinity Bag Company Opens for Business.

Specializes in Custom Plastic, Paper, and Vinyl Bags

MT. SINAI, N.Y. -- Affinity Bag Co., Inc., a specialist in custom plastic, paper, and vinyl bags, announced the launch of its company's business operations. Affinity Bag, co-founded by industry veterans Gregg Schwartz and Ronald Vachula, provides custom designed and printed plastic, paper, and vinyl bags to businesses of all sizes, industries and geographies, from those needing bags for trade shows, special promotions, or their retail or commercial applications, to companies looking to improve their workflow by outsourcing their packaging activities.

Affinity Bag provides a portfolio of services to meet each customer's needs. Customers have a variety of options. These range from purchasing custom packaging, to creative branding and support utilizing Affinity's core expertise to serve as their packaging procurement department. Affinity Bag's business and design team work with customers to become an integral part of their businesses, monitoring packaging usage, providing logistical solutions, ensuring availability of product, and offering creative support.

Affinity utilizes the latest printing techniques to provide printing in CMYK, or up to 8 spot colors, or a combination of both, with 100% ink coverage. Depending on quantity and material, Affinity can print almost anything from basic one color line art to a complex photograph. Products are manufactured domestically and imported and can be either printed and converted or printed post production.

The founders of the company have over ten years experience in the packaging industry. Chief executive officer, Gregg Schwartz, was a shareholder in one of the largest web-based bag companies. Schwartz led the company in sales and developed its e-commerce business. Affinity Bag's chief financial officer, Ronald Vachula, was director of finance for a web-based bag company and played a key role in its development and success.

"We look at the bags we create as if they were the main attraction, and not just as an insignificant piece of the puzzle," explained Schwartz. "At Affinity Bag we talk to the customer to find a functional solution that will effectively extend their marketing efforts so their bags are not just something in which to carry objects, but rather something to carry on an image long after the products are removed. Our staff is very experienced in not only the process of making bags, but also with producing a product with a creative edge to set our customer's company apart. Our motto is: 'It pays to make it your own.'"

"A key differentiator is our ability to collaborate with our customers to create unique packaging solutions," said Vachula. "Our services are tailored to meet the requirements of our customers' businesses, whether these requirements are improved inventory turns, assurance of supply in multiple geographies, improved turn-around time, or product branding and promotions."
