CUSTOMIZED DRAWSTRING BAGS

Looking for a lightweight promotional product that people actually keep and use? Custom drawstring bags are one of the most effective giveaways in the industry — affordable enough to hand out in bulk, practical enough that recipients carry them for months. Whether you need drawstring backpacks for a trade show, branded cinch bags for a school fundraiser, or custom sports packs for your gym, 24HourWristbands.com has you covered with hundreds of styles starting as low as $0.64 each.

Every bag we sell is customizable with your logo, artwork, or message. And unlike other promo suppliers, we manufacture in-house at our USA production facility with over 300 employees — so your order gets the quality control and turnaround time that overseas vendors simply can’t match.

Why Custom Drawstring Bags Are the #1 Promotional Giveaway

Promotional drawstring bags consistently rank among the top giveaway items for businesses, nonprofits, sports teams, and event organizers. Here’s why they outperform other promotional products:

• High perceived value, low cost: Bulk pricing starts under $1 per bag, yet recipients see drawstring bags as useful items worth keeping — not throwaway swag.
• Maximum brand visibility: A large, flat imprint area on the front panel means your logo is impossible to miss. Every time someone carries your bag to the gym, campus, or grocery store, your brand gets seen.
• Universal appeal: Drawstring bags work for virtually any audience — students, athletes, employees, conference attendees, parents, and everyday commuters.
• Lightweight and packable: They fold flat and weigh almost nothing, making them easy to ship, distribute at events, and store for future campaigns.
• Long product lifespan: Unlike pens or flyers, a well-made drawstring backpack gets used for months or even years, delivering continuous brand impressions at no additional cost.

Our Custom Drawstring Bag Collection

We carry a wide range of drawstring bags and backpacks to fit every use case, budget, and audience. Here’s a look at our most popular styles:

Drawstring Sportpacks

Our best-selling category. Classic cinch-top backpacks in polyester or nylon, ideal for gyms, sports teams, races, and school events. Most styles include reinforced grommets at the bottom corners and generous imprint areas for screen printing or full-color transfer. Prices start as low as $0.64 each when ordered in bulk.

Non-Woven Drawstring Tote Bags

An eco-conscious, budget-friendly option made from non-woven polypropylene (NWPP). These bags are lightweight, tear-resistant, and liquid-resistant — making them a smart choice for trade shows, conferences, and retail packaging. They’re also easy to recycle since they’re made from a single polymer material.

Cotton & Canvas Drawstring Bags

For a more premium, natural look, our cotton drawstring bags offer a sophisticated feel that resonates with eco-conscious consumers. Available in lightweight cotton (4oz–6oz) for promotional giveaways and wedding favors, or heavy-duty canvas (10oz–16oz) for retail-grade durability.

Camo Drawstring Bags

A standout option for outdoor events, hunting and fishing expos, military appreciation events, and youth sports programs. Our camo drawstring bags come in classic woodland patterns as well as modern digital camo prints, all made with durable 600D Oxford fabric and PVC-coated interiors for water and dust resistance.

Nylon Drawstring Backpacks

When durability matters, nylon is the go-to material. Our nylon drawstring bags are waterproof, abrasion-resistant, and built to handle daily use — perfect for commuters, gym-goers, and students who need a bag that holds up over time.

Clear & Stadium-Compliant Drawstring Bags

Meeting venue security requirements has never been easier. Our clear drawstring backpacks comply with stadium bag policies at NFL, NCAA, and major concert venues. They’re also useful for workplace security checkpoints and school transparency policies.

Drawstring Bags with Pockets & Bottle Holders

For added functionality, choose drawstring backpacks with zippered front pockets, side mesh pockets, or built-in bottle holders. These premium styles are popular for onboarding kits, corporate wellness programs, and sports team gear bags.

How to Customize Your Drawstring Bags

Every drawstring bag we sell can be branded with your logo, artwork, slogan, or mascot. We offer multiple decoration methods to match your design complexity and budget:

Screen Printing

The industry standard for promotional bags. We use a mesh screen and squeegee to apply ink directly to the fabric. Plastisol inks deliver vibrant, opaque color on dark fabrics, while water-based inks sink into the material for a soft, premium feel. Screen printing is the most cost-effective method for single-color or simple multi-color logos ordered in bulk.

Full-Color Digital Transfer

When your design includes photographs, gradients, or complex multi-color artwork, digital transfer is the way to go. Your full-color image is printed onto a transfer sheet and heat-pressed onto the bag. This method works on virtually any fabric and produces sharp, detailed results.

Dye Sublimation

For polyester and nylon bags, sublimation bonds the ink with the fabric at a molecular level. The result is an edge-to-edge, full-color design that will never crack, peel, or fade — even after heavy use at the gym or on the road. Sublimation is the best choice for photorealistic designs, step-and-repeat patterns, and all-over prints.

Embroidery

Embroidery adds a classic, textured, high-end finish to your drawstring bags. It’s ideal for corporate logos, monograms, and branding that needs to convey professionalism and permanence. Available on cotton, canvas, and nylon styles.

Popular Uses for Custom Drawstring Bags

Drawstring bags are incredibly versatile. Here are some of the most popular ways our customers use them:

Trade Shows & Conferences

Hand out branded drawstring backpacks as swag bags that attendees will actually carry around the event floor. Fill them with brochures, samples, and other promo items. Your logo stays visible for the duration of the event and beyond.

Schools & Universities

Welcome new students with custom cinch bags during orientation, spirit weeks, or homecoming. Drawstring bags are the right size for textbooks, a laptop charger, a water bottle, and a change of clothes — everything a student needs on the go.

Gyms & Fitness Brands

Custom drawstring bags are the unofficial bag of the fitness world. They’re lightweight enough to toss in a locker and durable enough to carry shoes, a towel, and a water bottle. Gym owners, personal trainers, and fitness brands use them as membership gifts, competition prizes, and retail merchandise.

Sports Teams & Leagues

Build team identity with matching drawstring sportpacks featuring your team name, mascot, and colors. Popular for youth leagues, travel teams, charity runs, and intramural sports.

Corporate Events & Employee Onboarding

Include a branded drawstring bag in your new-hire welcome kit or hand them out at company retreats, holiday parties, and team-building events. They’re a practical gift that employees will use daily.

Churches, Nonprofits & Fundraisers

Custom drawstring bags make excellent giveaways for community events, mission trips, VBS programs, and fundraising campaigns. They’re affordable enough to order in large quantities and memorable enough to keep your cause top-of-mind.

Weddings & Personal Events

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Drawstring Bags

What is a drawstring bag?

A drawstring bag is a lightweight bag that cinches closed at the top using a cord or string. The two ends of the drawstring are attached to the bottom corners of the bag, creating shoulder straps so it can also be worn as a backpack. They’re sometimes called cinch bags, string bags, or drawstring backpacks.

What sizes do custom drawstring bags come in?

Our drawstring bags range from small pouch sizes (around 6” x 8”) for jewelry and small gifts, to standard sport sizes (approximately 14” x 18”) for gym gear and everyday carry, up to large backpack sizes (17” x 20” or bigger) for heavier loads. The right size depends on what you plan to carry or distribute.

What materials are drawstring bags made from?

The most common materials include polyester, nylon, non-woven polypropylene, cotton, canvas, mesh, and clear PVC or EVA plastic. Each material has different characteristics in terms of durability, weight, water resistance, and cost. See our materials comparison table above for detailed guidance.

How are custom drawstring bags printed?

We offer four main decoration methods: screen printing (best for simple logos in bulk), full-color digital transfer (for photographs and complex artwork), dye sublimation (for all-over prints on polyester/nylon), and embroidery (for a premium textured finish). Our team will recommend the best method based on your artwork and bag choice.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Minimum order quantities vary by product, but many of our drawstring bags can be ordered in quantities as low as 25–50 units. Bulk orders of 100+ units receive the deepest discounts. Contact us for a custom quote on your specific quantity.

How fast can I get my custom drawstring bags?

Standard production takes approximately 5–10 business days after artwork approval. If you need your bags faster, our 24-hour rush production option is available on select products. We also offer free standard shipping on most orders.

Can I see a proof before my order is produced?

Yes. After you submit your artwork and order, we’ll send you a free digital proof showing exactly how your logo will appear on the bag. Production doesn’t begin until you approve the proof.

Are your drawstring bags made in the USA?

Yes. We operate our own production facility in the United States with over 300 employees. We also offer select styles through overseas production for customers who need special pricing on very large orders. Both options include our in-house quality control process.

Can drawstring bags be used as stadium bags?

Our clear PVC and EVA drawstring backpacks are designed to meet most stadium and venue security bag policies, including those used by the NFL, NCAA, and major concert venues. Check the specific size requirements of your venue before ordering.

What file formats do you accept for artwork?

We accept AI, PDF, EPS, PSD, PNG, and JPG files. For the best print quality, we recommend vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) at 300 DPI or higher. If you don’t have a ready-to-print file, our design team can help you prepare your artwork at no extra charge.
