Sustainable Branded Drawstring Bags

Our drawstring bags are mostly cotton, with a substantial recycled range and a smaller selection in organic cotton. Common materials include recycled cotton, organic cotton and recycled polyester (rPET) made from post-consumer plastic. Where it applies, recycled and organic content is certified to standards such as the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) or the Organic Content Standard (OCS), shown on the product. Lightweight non-woven options are also available for high-volume campaigns.

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.

Yes. Drawstring bags take branding well. The most common method is screen printing, which suits one or two solid colours and larger runs, while transfer and sublimation printing handle full-colour and photographic artwork. Embroidery is available on selected styles. The best method for your design and quantity is confirmed at quote.

The most common sizes are around 5L to 6L, which suit gym kit, shoes, books or event giveaways. Fabric weights typically range from about 100 g/m² for lightweight promotional bags up to 180-210 g/m² for sturdier versions. Exact dimensions and capacity are shown on each product.

Minimum order quantities vary by product and decoration method, and are shown on each product page or confirmed when you request a quote. Drawstring bags are typically a cost-effective option at higher volumes, which is why they work well as event and conference giveaways.

Samples are often available on request so you can check the fabric, weight and colour before committing to a full run. Let us know the product you are interested in and we will confirm sample availability and cost with your quote.

Lead times depend on the product, the decoration method and the order quantity. An indicative timescale is confirmed with your quote, and we can advise on faster options if you have a fixed event or in-hands date.

They are popular for event and trade-show giveaways, conference and welcome packs, gym and PE bags, and as shoe or kit bags. Because they are lightweight, reusable and inexpensive to brand, they keep your logo visible long after the event.
