Customer Testimonials

“Brian Owen and everyone else at Rifkin were terrific! They worked with me to redesign and customize the Trans-Sac to best meet our needs.”

“Because of our location in a mall environment, most of our bank customers would be using the night depository. We needed to keep records of all those night deposits. Rifkin’s demonstration convinced us their system would reduce labor, increase speed of data entry and retrieval, and improve accuracy.”

“We’ve found the problem-free solution to purchasing custom reusable bags. We use the A. Rifkin Co. Once my order is placed with their local sales representative, I know that I can depend on it being delivered when promised. The A. Rifkin Co. is easy to do business with. They have a wide selection of quality products that are competitively priced, an easy-to-use catalog, and friendly office staff. If someone were in need of reusable fabric bags for secure transportation, there’s only one company’s name I’d give them: The A. Rifkin Co.”

“They’re very durable. In fact, Trans-Sacs that we ordered ten years ago when we first started using them are still in service… It’s almost impossible for them to get lost. We’ve even had one come back with the windows ripped off, with no address at all on the bag, and it was returned back to us. We know that postal workers recognize them, and that helps speed sorting.”

“By using the presorting method along with Rifkin Trans-Sacs, we cut at least 4% from our annual postal bill and gained speedier delivery. For a company that last year sent out more than 12 million pieces of mail, that is a lot of money.”

“It’s exciting to work for a company that encourages you to think and then put your ideas to work. Although we’re just a small to mid-size mailer on a national scale, we send out hundreds of engineering plans and proposals internally every day. They all need to move back and forth in our operation as quickly as possible, so the Trans-Sac seemed like a natural extension of our philosophy. Everyone at Rifkin did an outstanding job in producing the Trans-Sac for us. No matter how many design changes we threw their way, they were always willing to comply.”

“By replacing paper envelopes with Trans-Sacs, Southern Union estimates savings of over $19,000 in envelope costs over the past six years.”

“The amazing thing is that Trans-Sacs are so durable; some of the original bags we purchased are still in circulation. With 300 Trans-Sacs in service, it certainly adds up to significant postage savings every year.”

“Switching from paper envelopes to Trans-Sacs saved us $60,000 a year in mailing costs.”

“Our company saved approximately $60,000 in postage and envelopes the first year it used the envelopes. Incoming mail is one day faster thanks to reusable fabric envelopes.”

“We began using the bags as part of a two-year comparison test. Put into four of our heaviest mail distribution locations, they saved us nearly $5,200 a year. The bags are roomy, colorful, and our name is printed on each one in large, easy-to-read letters. They have more than lived up to our expectations.”

“I had to reduce my budget by $10,000. I turned to Rifkin. I knew I could do it with their help. The Trans-Sacs paid for themselves in 18 months and have more than lived up to my expectations. This is one of the best changes we’ve made!”

“It would be time-consuming and expensive to have to reconstruct records lost in a car fire. The Fire Shield Sacs provide protection… We expect a useful life of eight to 10 years from them, maybe more. This system saves a tremendous amount of time.”

“The Rifkin Trans-Sac is a reusable envelope that saves the company more than $50,000 annually as it carries batches of mail between the home office and the branches. Consolidated mailings are sped with color-coded, zippered bags which carry up to five times the quantity of paper envelopes previously used.”

“The results are most gratifying. This private industry finds that Direct Pouching speeds delivery as Federal agencies have already claimed. Direct Pouching via Air Mail is getting results for The Travelers. In fact, The Travelers has designated the program as TIMS—Travelers Improved Mail Service. That’s what it is.”
