The plastic drawstring bag provides a great, flexible bag option for retailers looking to shake things up; the non-woven drawstring bag is a perfect kit or merchandise bag and the cotton drawstring bag is the carrier bag option that comes the closest to being considered high-quality branded merchandise. Why ask your customers to carry their bag, when they can wear it?

These bags are strong and come with customisable print & handle options; they’re a favourite of sports retailers and gyms.

The most common material for retail printed drawstring bags is polythene as it’s cheap, easy to store and looks great when printed. For merchandise, and as a cheap fabric option, non-woven polypropylene is an ideal choice. For something more premium, cotton drawstring bags are great.
