Why a cotton drawstring bag works for events
A custom cotton drawstring bag is the lightest way to give people something to carry their giveaways in, and it keeps going afterwards as a gym, beach or kids' bag. It folds flat for shipping, costs less than a tote, and the cords pull closed and double as shoulder straps. It is the entry-level bag in our cotton and jute bags, widely ordered for marathons, family days, school programmes, exhibition stands and UAE National Day events in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Riyadh and Doha.

Printing on cotton
Screen printing on cotton is the standard: a print of up to about 250 x 280 mm on one side in up to 4 colours, with good wash durability. A large single-colour logo is the most cost-effective. White or light inks on black, navy and red bags need an underlay layer, which we handle in production. For photographic designs, heat transfer covers about 200 x 200 mm. Arabic slogans and national day designs print well, and a free digital mock-up shows the print on your chosen colour.
Packaging and ordering
Bags ship folded in bulk cartons, or can be filled with a bottle, cap and flyer before delivery. Mixing colours in one order is common for teams. The MOQ and lead time are shown on this page and confirmed in your quote.

Frequently asked questions
Can we print on both sides?
Yes. A logo on the front and a sponsor list, hashtag or event date on the back is a common layout. Each side is a separate print position and is priced in your quote and shown on the mock-up.
Will the cords hurt on the shoulders?
Thin cords can dig in with heavy loads, so this bag is best for light items like a bottle, a T-shirt and leaflets. For heavier loads, we suggest a version with wider cords or a cotton tote instead.
Is a recycled cotton version available?
Yes. Recycled cotton drawstring bags are available in a similar weight, often in natural or mixed tones. The exact blend and colours are confirmed in your quote, as they vary by batch.
