How to choose
Start with what goes in it. A 19.5 x 21cm pouch holds a notebook or gift; a 485 x 385mm backpack takes an A4 folio, water bottle and jacket. Check the print area against your artwork before choosing: a small jute pouch takes a 65 x 120mm mark, while full-colour cotton styles print edge to edge. Wide logos read better on the larger panels.
Fabric changes the finish. Cotton and calico take screen print well but suit bold single-colour marks; jute has a coarse weave that favours simple artwork. RPET and polyester styles use transfer or digital methods for detail. For hi-vis or event use, confirm the documented specification on the individual product page. Production timing depends on stock, artwork and branding method; confirm your required date before ordering and approve the digital proof before production.

Do promotional bags actually get kept and used?

How do I choose between a pouch and a backpack drawstring bag?
Decide by contents first. Pouches from about 18.5cm suit gifts, cosmetics and small merchandise. Backpack sizes from roughly 40 to 50cm tall carry A4 documents, drink bottles and clothing. Delegate bags usually need the larger format so a folio fits without folding.
What artwork works best on drawstring bags?
Bold, simple marks with strong contrast reproduce most reliably. Screen-print models prefer one-colour logos within the stated print area. Full-colour digital styles handle photographs and gradients, some printing all over. Confirm print area and colours with us at quote for the model you select.
What are the minimums and how is pricing worked out?
Minimums differ by item and are shown on each product page, with live prices and quantity breaks displayed separately. The lowest price tier is not the minimum order quantity. Setup fees are separate and quoted upfront, and freight is quoted per order.
How far ahead should I order for an event?
Production timing depends on stock, artwork and branding method, so it pays to plan back from your event date. Allow time for artwork adjustments, digital proof approval and production before freight. Confirm your required date with us before ordering and we will check feasibility.
What are the bags made from and how should I care for them?
This range includes cotton, calico, jute, non-woven polypropylene, 210D polyester, ripstop and RPET. Cotton and jute have a textured, natural finish; synthetics feel smoother. Care instructions vary by fabric, so check the documented specification on the individual product page before assuming washability.
How does ordering and proofing work?
Choose a model, send your artwork and confirm the branding method available for that item. We supply a digital proof for approval before anything goes into production. Setup fees are quoted upfront, freight is quoted separately per order, and we confirm quantities before the run begins.
cinched shut before the doors open
Registration desk, ten minutes before doors. A volunteer feeds lanyards, programs and a water bottle into each drawstring bag, then pulls the cord and the whole lot cinches shut in one motion. No zips to jam, no handles to tangle. Delegates sling one over a shoulder, shift it to their back, and walk in. By afternoon the bags are slumped under chairs with the logo facing outward at every angle, or slung across a shoulder at the coffee queue where the print sits square to the room. A pouch version does quieter work in the same venue, holding a medal or a gift at a table in the break room, cord tied in a bow, waiting to be picked up on the way out. Either way, the object goes home and keeps working the next morning.
