Best for
Choose drawstring bags if your moment is festival and event swag bags, gym, wellness and corporate sports kits or university orientation and school packs.
Festival and event swag bags
A non-woven or rPET drawstring bag at AU$1.95-$3.20 holds a program, branded bottle and sample pack without adding weight. Full-colour sublimation on rPET lets the creative brief travel across the whole front panel — not just a chest-pocket logo.
Gym, wellness and corporate sports kits
Step up to a heavier polyester or canvas drawstring with reinforced grommets and a padded base — the ones that survive a gym floor and a weekly wash. Pair with a branded bottle, resistance band and microfibre towel for launch kits.
University orientation and school packs
Cotton calico drawstring bags (200-220gsm) with a 1-colour screen print are the workhorse of O-Week. Order 25 as a pilot, scale to 2,000+ for faculty rollouts, and use tone-on-tone ink for a considered finish rather than high-contrast shout.
Retail gift-with-purchase and product launches
Printed calico or organic cotton drawstrings read as gift packaging rather than polybag. A debossed logo or a single beautifully-typeset tagline makes the cinch bag the opening moment — the piece that gets photographed before the product inside.
“Our orientation drawstring bags landed a week before O-Week and the cotton felt heavier than we'd hoped — students have been carrying them around campus all semester. The team understood our brand codes beautifully from the first call.”
“We sublimated our full campaign artwork edge-to-edge across the front of an rPET drawstring and it photographed beautifully at the festival. Every sample request we've made since has been on our desk inside two days.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for bringing brand thinking and warmth to every project — from brief to launch, with delivery that always lands on time.”

How to choose
Start with the moment the bag is opened — that's the part we enjoy most about a drawstring brief. If it lives on a festival lawn for one day, a non-woven or rPET drawstring at AU$1.95-$3.20 does the work beautifully; the logo travels home on the back of someone's shoulders and the unit economics hold at scale. If the bag needs to survive a gym bag rotation or a year of commuting, step up to 210D or 420D polyester, heavyweight cotton, or a canvas drawstring with reinforced grommets and a padded base — these are the ones that keep earning their spot. Fabric weight is the first thing someone notices in the hand. A 140gsm calico feels like a giveaway; 200-220gsm feels like packaging worth keeping. For retail gift-with-purchase or premium client drops, always spec the heavier cotton, organic cotton or printed calico — a beautifully typeset deboss or a 1-colour screen print in the brand ink reads more considered than three-colour shout work. Branding method drives both price and finish. A 1-colour screen print is the cleanest way to carry a bold logo on cotton and calico. Full-colour digital transfer or edge-to-edge sublimation on rPET polyester is how you get full-bleed pattern work, photographic imagery or gradient campaign art across the entire front panel. Pad print suits small marks on webbing or reinforced corners. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off. On MOQ: most drawstring bags start at 50-100 units, with calico pilot runs dropping to 25 and non-woven rollouts scaling cleanly to 5,000+ for national campaigns. At 2,000+ expect 30-45% off the 100-qty tier — always ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 so the right campaign scale is priced properly. And always order a sample. Forty-eight hours from request to your desk. The creative director holds the cord between their fingers, feels the weight of the fabric, and the decision makes itself.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-colour screen print, a non-woven drawstring sits around AU$1.95-$3.20, a calico drawstring bag AU$2.80-$4.50, a cotton or rPET drawstring AU$3.50-$5.80, and a heavyweight polyester or canvas drawstring AU$5-$9.50. At 500 units expect 25-40% off those tiers. Full-colour digital or sublimation adds AU$0.35-$0.80 per unit. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off.
Delivery across Australia

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for custom drawstring bags?▾
Most drawstring bags start at 50-100 units, with calico pilot runs dropping to 25 and non-woven or rPET runs scaling cleanly to 5,000+ for national campaigns. At 2,000+ expect 30-45% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 and we'll map the right scale to your campaign.
How long do drawstring bags take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many core calico, non-woven and rPET drawstring lines brand in 1-4 business days, with 3-5 day express available on 400+ SKUs. For Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane briefs we can sometimes courier same-week on stocked decorated styles.
What branding methods work best on drawstring bags?▾
A 1-colour screen print is the cleanest way to carry a bold logo on cotton and calico. Full-colour digital transfer or edge-to-edge sublimation on rPET polyester gives you full-bleed pattern work, photographic imagery and gradient campaign art across the whole front panel. Pad print suits small marks. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off.
Can I see a sample before I commit to the order?▾
Yes — free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs. After 30 years of bag briefs, we know the cord feel, fabric weight and print register are what people decide on — never the spec sheet alone.
Do you offer eco-friendly drawstring bags?▾
Yes. Our eco drawstring range includes rPET made from recycled plastic bottles, GOTS organic cotton, unbleached calico and recycled non-woven. Certification notes (GOTS, rPET content, FSC-backed packaging) are available on request. See our eco-friendly promotional products guide for the full range and material stories.
What fabric weight should I choose for a drawstring bag?▾
For one-day event swag, 80-140gsm non-woven or light calico holds its shape and keeps unit economics tight. For gift-with-purchase, orientation packs or retail kits, step up to 200-220gsm cotton or calico — heavier fabric feels like packaging worth keeping. For gym and commuter use, 210D or 420D polyester with reinforced grommets and a padded base earns its spot long-term.
