Each of these locations has refrigerated vending machines that are stocked daily with a variety of fresh, local meats. When Josh Applestone opened Applestone Meat Co., his two main goals were to make local and ethically raised meat accessible and affordable. In order to accomplish this, he opted for vending machines over a traditional butcher shop to give consumers access no matter what their schedule. In addition, this business model keeps overhead down, and therefore prices affordable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3494 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/81299886_2836692536389905_3609560364611534848_o-851x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/81299886_2836692536389905_3609560364611534848_o-851x1024.jpg 851w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/81299886_2836692536389905_3609560364611534848_o-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/81299886_2836692536389905_3609560364611534848_o-768x924.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/81299886_2836692536389905_3609560364611534848_o.jpg 1702w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Applestone Meat Co. came to us looking for reusable insulated bags that would keep their meats cool and fresh between their vending machines and customers\u2019 homes. We worked with them to design custom branded bags in two sizes to fit their customers\u2019 needs. For the larger size, they chose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/therm-o-tote.html\">Therm-O Tote<\/a>, which features dual reinforced 20\u201d carrying handles, a plastic bottom insert, and a zipper closure. For the smaller size, they chose our Insulated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/insulated-therm-o-snack.html\">Therm-O Snack bag<\/a>. This bag also features a zipper closure, dual reinforced carrying handles, and a bottom insert. It also has convenient side pockets. The bags were made in a matching navy color and printed with the Applestone Meat Co. logo in a crisp white.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/17635136_1427654733960366_8022029976953255417_o1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/17635136_1427654733960366_8022029976953255417_o1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/17635136_1427654733960366_8022029976953255417_o1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/17635136_1427654733960366_8022029976953255417_o1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/17635136_1427654733960366_8022029976953255417_o1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been working with Applestone Meat Co. since 2015, and they\u2019ve placed 28 orders with us during that time. Since New York State has a plastic bag ban, reusable bags are a must-have. Applestone Meat Co. uses their insulated totes at their retail counter for customers who forget their bags, or simply want to purchase a branded tote bag. They encourage customers to bring their Applestone bags everytime they come to pick up meat. In addition, they use their bags for donations and meat bundles which include a preselected variety of meats ready for pick up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/80253716_2809238685801957_4003368076350324736_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/80253716_2809238685801957_4003368076350324736_n.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/80253716_2809238685801957_4003368076350324736_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/80253716_2809238685801957_4003368076350324736_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/80253716_2809238685801957_4003368076350324736_n-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Shop the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/therm-o-tote.html\">Therm-O Tote<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/product\/insulated-therm-o-snack.html\">Therm-O Snack bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of our clients are businesses in the food industry, including restaurants, grocery stores, meal kit and delivery services, farms, markets, and more.
