Get started ›What are cotton drawstring bags?
Our cotton drawstring bags are made from natural, unbleached calico, a strong and breathable cotton fabric of around 120gsm. Two cotton drawstrings pull the top closed, so products stay inside and the bag can be used again and again. They are machine washable.
Because each bag is handmade, expect a slight variance of about 3 to 5% in length and width, and the natural colour can vary a little between shipments. That is part of the charm of a genuine cotton bag.
Drawstring bags work across many industries: retail and gift packaging, sample bags for mining and geology, seed and produce storage for agriculture, and library bags, showbags and giveaways for schools and events. Want handles instead? See our calico bags with two handles or a shoulder strap.
- Retail and gifting
- Mining sample bags
- Seed and produce
- Library bags
- Events and showbags
- Online stores
Choosing your drawstring bag
- Measure the product
- Add a little extra length so the drawstring can close above the item. The 300 x 200mm size is often used for shoes when travelling.
- Think about reuse
- A bag sized for a book or lunch box is more likely to be kept and reused by your customer.
- Plain or printed
- Plain bags ship from stock in packs of 50. Printed bags put your brand on every reuse.
- Ordering large volumes
- For big or repeat orders, request a quote and we will price it for you.

What is the difference between cotton and calico?

Cotton is the base fibre, a natural fibre used to make fabrics including:
