ment, the demand for a more durable mus- lin bag has kept State Line Bag Co. quite busy. “Traditionally, bags of this construction were used for storage or soil testing,” Downey explains. “But we’re getting more re- quests than ever for them. Neutrality is key.” The bags are so versatile that they are as likely to pop up at a wedding reception as they are to appear at an organic market.
f l e- gs State Line’s bags are offered
in eight sizes, from 2.5 inches by 4 inches up to 12 by 16 inches.

“It’s all about options with us,” Downey stresses. The options extend beyond bag design to se in
selling opportunities, and though the premium bags sell well as a standalone product, they also work well as packaging for re- tailers looking for just the right keepsake bag to accompany jewelry or gifts. The company will fi ll order quanti- ties of as few as 50 items, which is a new,
lower minimum State Line ad- opted when it launched the premium bag line. A variety of discounts are available, starting with 500 piece orders and fur- ther price breaks by quantity. Bags can be delivered in a
matter of days, with the option of two day shipping. State Line also offers free shipping within the continental U.S. for whole- sale orders of $70 or more. “One of the biggest challenges we face is that our bags are of interest to so many different industries,” Downey admits. From the craft industry to wedding suppliers, the customer base spans a wide range of markets. “The trick has been remembering that you ab- solutely must give every order the same amount of attention and consideration.” ■
