Calico Drawstring Laundry Bags

Calico drawstring laundry bags are a reusable, washable way to collect, store and carry laundry. QIS Packaging stocks natural calico laundry bags with a drawstring closure in three large sizes, 400 x 300mm, 500 x 400mm and 600 x 500mm, sold in packs of 50 for hotels, gyms, schools, care homes and laundry services. Orders placed before 12pm on a business day are dispatched the same day from our Brisbane warehouse.

Calico Laundry Bag Sizes

• Medium, 400 x 300mm: a neat size for socks, underwear, baby clothes, gym gear and travel laundry.
• Large, 500 x 400mm: holds a few days of clothing, making it a popular size for hotel guest laundry, boarding schools and school camps.
• Jumbo, 600 x 500mm: room for towels, bed linen, uniforms and bulky items, ideal for laundromats, sports clubs and linen collection.

All three sizes are made from 120gsm natural, unbleached calico with a drawstring closure, and come in packs of 50. As calico bags are handmade, sizes can vary very slightly and the natural fabric colour may differ a little between batches.

Why Use Calico for Laundry Bags?

• Reusable and washable: calico is a cotton fabric, so the bags can go through the wash with the laundry and be used again and again.
• Breathable: natural cotton lets air through, which helps stop damp clothes from smelling when they sit in the bag.
• Drawstring closure: pull the cord to close the bag and keep items together, then hang it on a hook or door handle.
• A plastic-free choice: replace single-use plastic laundry bags with a reusable natural fabric bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size laundry bag do I need?

For small items such as socks, underwear and baby clothes, choose 400 x 300mm. For a guest or personal laundry bag holding a few days of clothes, 500 x 400mm is the most popular. For towels, sheets and bulky linen, go for the jumbo 600 x 500mm.

Can calico laundry bags be washed?

Yes. Calico is a natural cotton fabric, so the bags are machine washable and reusable. Like most natural cotton, calico can shrink slightly on a hot wash.

Do you sell laundry bags in bulk?

Yes. Our calico laundry bags come in packs of 50, and you can order as many packs as you need. For very large quantities, email quotes@qispackaging.com.au for a wholesale price.
