Credentials & Recognition
For over 130 years, A. Rifkin has made the bags that banks, election offices and hospitals trust to move what matters — here in the USA. Every credential below is real and traceable to its source.
A. Rifkin has manufactured security bags in the United States for over 130 years — now in its fifth generation of family ownership. In an industry that long ago moved offshore, that unbroken American lineage is the credential competitors can’t manufacture: deep expertise, proven durability and a name banks have trusted for more than a century.
Every item below links to the source behind it — a federal contract record, Rifkin’s compliance documentation or its own published standards. Nothing is inflated to fill space.
Government buyers can purchase A. Rifkin security bags directly through the GSA Schedule (contract GS-07F-0184Y) — the federal stamp of an approved, vetted supplier.
Rifkin’s cash-transport bags are built to meet Federal Reserve System guidelines — the standard banks and credit unions rely on to move money securely.
Document and specimen bags engineered for HIPAA-compliant handling of protected health information — trusted inside hospitals and medical facilities.
A. Rifkin describes itself as the U.S. leader in reusable fabric security bank bags — bags engineered to survive hundreds of deposit trips rather than the landfill.
Rifkin manufactures its reusable fabric bags using solar energy — a durable, lower-waste alternative to the single-use plastic the industry defaulted to.
County election offices across the country — from New Jersey and Rhode Island to California and Georgia — rely on Rifkin to secure ballots and election materials.
Proprietary, trademarked systems — Arcolock-7®, Keyless Security™, the Safety Sac® and Fire-Shield™ — back a documented, tamper-evident chain of custody.
A dedicated School Essentials line — emergency go-bags, nurse and medication bags, Arcolock-7® cell-phone kits and alertSeat™ seating — made for K-12 safety.
A featured affiliate partner of K12 Academics, the education-resource network online since 2004 and reaching 185 countries every month.
The recognition follows the product: reusable, American-made security bags for banks, ballots, hospitals and schools — built to be used hundreds of times over.
Federal contracts, Federal Reserve and HIPAA standards, and the trust of election offices nationwide — backed by more than a century of American manufacturing.
Over 130 years.
