More infomation about Drawstring Bags
What's the difference between cotton and polyester drawstring bags?
Cotton drawstring bags offer a natural, eco-friendly feel, while polyester provides water resistance and vibrant colour options. Cotton suits organisations prioritising sustainability messaging and natural aesthetics for their branding. Polyester dries faster after contact with moisture, making it the stronger choice for gym bags and outdoor sporting use. Cotton bags are machine washable and soften with use over time. Polyester maintains its shape and colour intensity through extended daily use and exposure to weather conditions.
Are drawstring bags strong enough for books and laptops?
Heavy canvas drawstring bags in 280gsm comfortably carry books, tablets, and lightweight laptops without cord strain. Reinforced eyelets and double-stitched seams prevent tearing at stress points under heavier loads. Lightweight 120gsm cotton drawstring bags suit smaller items like gym clothes, lunch, and personal belongings. The Oakridge Drawstring Backpack in heavy cotton canvas handles daily school and university use. Matching bag weight to intended contents ensures recipients use the branded drawstring bag regularly rather than once.
Can drawstring bags be machine washed to keep them clean?
Cotton drawstring bags can be machine washed on a cold gentle cycle to maintain fabric quality and print durability. Screen-printed logos withstand dozens of cold washes without fading or cracking when properly cared for. Polyester drawstring bags are better suited to spot-cleaning with a damp cloth rather than full machine washing. Air-drying preserves cord elasticity and prevents shrinkage in natural cotton fibres. Regular cleaning keeps branded drawstring bags looking presentable for ongoing daily use at schools, gyms, and workplaces.
What size drawstring bag fits gym shoes and a towel?
A standard drawstring backpack measuring approximately 34cm x 45cm fits gym shoes, a towel, and a change of clothes comfortably. Larger options accommodate water bottles and personal items alongside standard gym gear without overstuffing. Smaller drawstring bags around 30cm x 40cm suit lighter loads like school library books and lunch containers. The cord length on backpack-style drawstring bags allows comfortable wearing across different body sizes. Request a free mockup to see how your logo scales on different drawstring bag dimensions.
Are cotton drawstring bags better than polyester for branding?
Cotton provides a natural canvas that suits screen print and embroidery beautifully, while polyester enables vivid full-colour sublimation. Screen-printed logos on cotton deliver a classic, tactile finish that many recipients prefer for everyday bags. Polyester accepts sublimation printing for edge-to-edge photographic designs that cotton cannot reproduce. Colourflex transfer works well on both fabrics for complex multi-colour logos with fine detail. Choosing the right fabric depends on whether the branding priority is natural aesthetics or full-colour vibrancy.
Do drawstring bags appeal to teenage audiences?
Branded drawstring bags are popular with teenagers because the backpack style suits school, sport, and casual everyday use. Secondary school students across Australia use drawstring bags for PE kits, excursion packs, and casual outings. Vibrant colours and bold logo placement increase appeal for younger demographics compared to traditional tote bags. Polyester options in bright colourways with contrasting drawstrings create eye-catching designs that teenagers are happy to carry. Sporting clubs targeting junior memberships find branded drawstring bags generate strong uptake and visible community branding.
Can sponsor logos be added alongside school or club crests?
Multiple logos and sponsor branding can be printed on drawstring bags using screen print or Colourflex transfer. Front panel placement suits the primary school or club crest, while rear or side positioning accommodates sponsor logos. Screen print handles up to four spot colours per position for bold, clean multi-logo layouts. Colourflex transfer captures full-colour sponsor logos with photographic detail on a single print application. Free digital mockups show exactly how multiple logos will appear together on the chosen drawstring bag.
How visible is branding on drawstring bags when worn as a backpack?
Branding on the front face of a drawstring backpack faces outward when worn, creating a mobile billboard visible to everyone behind the wearer. Logo placement centred on the main panel maximises visibility during walking, commuting, and sporting activities. Larger logos of 15cm or more are readable from several metres away in outdoor settings. Light-coloured bags with dark logos or dark bags with light logos create the strongest contrast for distance visibility. Drawstring bags generate more branding impressions per wear than bags carried by hand at the side.
Drawstring Bags for Schools, Gyms, Sporting Clubs, and Events
Drawstring Bags for Schools, Fundraisers, and Children's Events

Branded drawstring bags are among the most popular promotional items for schools because students use them daily for sport, excursions, and library visits. School administrators and P&C committees choose printed drawstring bags for orientation packs, swimming carnivals, athletics days, and fundraising campaigns. A branded drawstring bag with the school logo becomes part of the uniform, generating visibility at drop-off zones, playgrounds, and after-school activities.

The Cotton Colouring Drawstring Backpack ships with crayons for an interactive activity that engages younger students at open days and fetes. Standard Cotton Drawstring Backpacks in school colours suit bulk distribution at orientation and enrolment events. Canvas options like the Oakridge Drawstring Backpack with its cork panel deliver a premium feel for staff gifts and teacher appreciation.

Reusable Shopping Bag Experts has supplied branded bags to schools across Australia for over 25 years. Request a free artwork proof featuring your school crest and colours to see how the finished bag will look before placing a commitment.

Drawstring Bags for Gyms, Sporting Clubs, and Teams

Printed drawstring bags suit sporting environments because they carry gym gear, boots, towels, and water bottles while keeping hands free for activity. Sporting clubs across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth use branded drawstring bags for player kits, team merchandise, sponsor giveaways, and registration packs at the start of each season. Gyms and fitness centres find logo drawstring bags effective for membership welcome kits and promotional campaigns targeting active lifestyles in local communities.

Polyester drawstring bags resist moisture and dry quickly after contact with sweaty gym gear or damp towels from training sessions. Cotton options appeal to clubs prioritising eco-friendly branding and natural materials for their membership programs. Reinforced cord drawstrings and double-stitched seams handle the weight of sports shoes and water bottles without tearing under daily strain.

Drawstring bags worn as backpacks display branding prominently at training sessions, weekend matches, and competitions throughout the season. Contact the team for advice on matching drawstring bag fabric and size to your club or gym membership program.

Fabric Options and Drawstring Cord Styles

Cotton, polyester, canvas, and non-woven fabrics each offer different advantages for branded drawstring bags. Cotton drawstring bags in 120gsm suit budget-conscious school and event giveaways where natural fibre appeal matters. Heavy 280gsm canvas like the Oakridge Drawstring Backpack delivers a premium feel suited to corporate gifts and staff recognition. Polyester options provide water resistance and vibrant colour reproduction for sporting and outdoor applications.

Non-woven polypropylene drawstring bags offer the most economical option for high-volume tradeshow and event distribution. Woven cotton cords provide a natural aesthetic, while nylon drawstrings deliver enhanced durability for daily gym and sports use. Reinforced metal eyelets prevent cord pull-through on heavily used bags.

Matching fabric to audience ensures recipients value and reuse the branded drawstring bag. A children's event suits lightweight cotton, while a corporate team-building day benefits from heavier canvas. Request a free mockup to compare branding across different fabric options and find the best fit for your campaign.
