Branded drawstring bags with your logo

Drawstring bags are one of the most cost-effective pieces of branded merchandise you can give away. Lightweight, reusable and quick to print, they work as event giveaways, gym and PE bags, conference packs and shoe or kit bags, carrying your logo every time they are used. Our range focuses on lower-impact materials so your giveaway does not come at the planet's expense.

Materials and specifications

Most of our drawstring bags are cotton, with a substantial recycled range (recycled cotton and recycled polyester) and a smaller selection in organic cotton. Where it applies, recycled cotton is certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and organic cotton to the Organic Content Standard (OCS), shown on the product. Recycled polyester (rPET) is made from post-consumer plastic. Fabric weights typically run from around 100 g/m² for lightweight promotional bags up to 180-210 g/m² for sturdier, longer-lasting versions, with 5L and 6L being the most common sizes. Lighter non-woven options are also available for high-volume, low-cost campaigns.

Decoration

Drawstring bags take a logo well. The most common decoration is screen printing, which is ideal for one or two solid colours and large print runs. For full-colour artwork and photographic designs we also offer transfer and sublimation printing, and embroidery is available on selected styles. The best decoration method depends on your design and quantity, and is confirmed with you at quote.

Why buy from Social Supermarket

We are a certified B Corp, and we curate every product on the marketplace for its materials and supplier credentials rather than stocking everything. For drawstring bags that means leading with recycled and organic-cotton styles and clearly flagged certifications such as GRS and OCS, so you can brief a buyer or a sustainability lead with confidence.

Frequently asked questions

What are sustainable drawstring bags made from?+

Our drawstring bags are mostly cotton, with a substantial recycled range and a smaller selection in organic cotton.

What makes a drawstring bag eco-friendly?+

It comes down to the material and how it is verified. Bags made from recycled or organic fibres reduce reliance on virgin cotton and new plastic, and recognised certifications such as GRS and OCS confirm the recycled or organic content rather than relying on a vague claim. A reusable bag also tends to outlast single-use alternatives, spreading its impact over many uses.
