Fabric bags are a useful and versatile tool. They can be used to package food products, cosmetics, perfumes and much more in a custom, sustainable and reusable way. If your company embraces the green philosophy and is looking for new packaging that combines values and functionality, fabric bags with drawstring may be just what you need!
Let’s explore how our fabric bags with this type of closure are made and the sectors for which they are particularly suitable.
Fabric bags with drawstring: how they are made
To close a fabric bag, we have several options available. The packaging may have a handle, be closed with a zip, include a folding system to prevent the contents from escaping, buttons, or a drawstring closure using a cord.
Different intended uses naturally require different choices. For example, our OEKO TEX certified mesh fabric bags designed for solid soaps have a cotton rope handle that serves both as a closure and as a hook to hang it conveniently in the shower or bathroom.
The closure is therefore one of the customization elements to consider when designing your product’s packaging. Fabric bags with drawstring, in particular, prove to be very versatile. They are made from various natural fibers—cotton, cotton mesh, linen, jute—and a small loop is sewn inside through which a thick cotton cord is threaded.
The cord is then knotted to prevent it from slipping inside the loop and, through a simple sliding mechanism, it can be used to both open and close the bag. An important feature of this type of closure is that it allows easy storage of the contents inside the bag while simultaneously preventing jams or breaks.
Types of drawstring closure: drawcord or candy wrap style
A fabric bag with a drawstring can have either a drawcord or candy wrap style closure. The candy wrap closure is so called because the bag takes the shape of a candy wrapper, whereas in the drawcord closure there are no fabric flaps above the closure.
In the image below, you can see the difference between the two types. The candy wrap closure is on the left; the drawcord closure on the right.
Applications of fabric bags with drawstring
The ease of use, the variety of materials that can be used, and the versatility are the keys to the success of fabric bags with drawstring, which can be employed in many different sectors.
From food to cosmetics, this type of bag is highly appreciated both by producers and end consumers. Let’s review some examples from our catalog together.
Fabric bags with drawstring for the food sector
Fabric bags with drawstring are offered to companies in the agri-food sector with different functionalities. Ideal for packaging bottles of wine, oil, and spirits—for an elegant effect, one can opt for a velvet fabric with printed customization.
Jute, on the other hand, which is a fabric with a more natural appearance and very breathable, is suited to making bags for containing legumes and dried fruit. Given the characteristics of the weave, they can also be used for storage, helping consumers adopt more ecological habits.
Drawstring bags for cosmetics
Another area for fabric bags with drawstring is cosmetics. The drawstring closure allows packaging of beauty product kits containing various creams and lotions. It is also suitable for makeup but especially for perfumes.
The cotton mesh bag that we at Sacchetti di Tessuto have prepared, for example, has a square base that allows it to perfectly adapt to both round and rectangular products. The fabric is very durable, and the weave makes it easy to see inside. This way, the product is showcased effectively, while also being protected as good packaging should.
An alternative is this heavy cotton canvas bag with drawcord closure and two cords, which we made as a makeup pouch. Specifically, in this case, a resistant bag was necessary, also suitable for hair products and easily reusable.
When there are many products to package, the ideal choice is a cotton canvas bag with drawstring closure and handles, sturdy, easy to carry, and very convenient for travel!
Fabric bags with drawstrings for clothing and footwear
Fabric bags with drawstrings are frequently requested to properly package and store clothing and footwear. This is because fabric is a breathable, natural, and ecological solution to protect valuable accessories from wear over time.
All bags can be customized with a logo, either printed or embroidered, but not only that. We at Sacchetti di Tessuto also offer a satin solution with stitching and drawstring closure ideal for shoes: the internal division, in fact, allows protection of two pairs of footwear simultaneously. Size and material can be adapted to your brand’s products to obtain a 100% customized packaging.
Fabric bags with drawstring for eyewear and costume jewelry
Another area where fabric bags can make a difference is in optics and costume jewelry. Small custom packs closed with cords can easily contain and protect sunglasses, for example, as well as bracelets, necklaces, and small costume jewelry pieces.
In this case, the fabric can be customized by choosing velvet or satin to convey a greater sense of value of the final product, while cotton can be perfect for a youthful or informal brand.
The versatility of these bags does not end here! Does your company produce flavors for electronic cigarettes, or do you work for a car dealership that wants to pamper its customers? We have thought about you as well! We offer fabric bags with drawstring closure in all sizes that can also be suitable for storing and protecting car keys or aroma and perfume packages for electronic cigarettes.
One more way to enhance your brand by offering the consumer ecological, reusable packaging that tells your story!
