why choose alef?
Quality, speed, and transparency — built into every order since 1983. Here's what sets us apart from every other bag supplier.
competitive pricing
We operate facilities throughout North America and Israel, and represent factories in the Far East — so we can offer you a full range of options at the right price. We also enjoy up to 72% off published shipping rates with our freight carriers.
quality guarantee
Your packaging arrives exactly how you ordered it. When you order 1.75 mil, you get 1.75 mil. When we write 1,000 bags in a box, there will be at least 1,000. Our goal is to keep you as a lifelong customer through hard work and honesty.
fast turnaround
We get samples out the same day we speak and move the process along quickly. You will never incur a rush order fee with us. As long as other orders aren't also rush requests, we'll move yours to the front of the line.
manufacturing experience & consulting
We have over 40 years of experience in manufacturing. You're not dealing with a middleman. Our expertise enables us to give you the best advice on making your bags effective and attractive.
family atmosphere
We are family owned and operated, but we think of our employees and customers as family too. We cultivate long-term relationships by always looking out for our clients' best interests — we give advice based on what will help your business grow.
privacy guarantee
We promise never to divulge private information about our customers to third parties. Your business relationships, artwork, and order details stay with us.
free art services
Brand new, 100% original artwork is free of charge. Our experienced design department works with you to improve your packaging design. If you already have a great logo, we'll use and print it. If you need something new, we'll design it at no cost.
no hidden costs
There are only three things we ever charge for: bags, shipping, and plates. Shipping is billed at cost using our 72% freight discount. Plates are charged on your first order only. No charges for artwork, proofs, rush orders, storage, or special ink colors.
environmentally friendly
All of our production methods are EPA approved. Whenever possible, we add post-consumer recycled material to your bags. We also operate our own recycling machinery for plastic, which helps create energy to run other machines.
