Short answer: A drawstring bag is a bag with a cord closure that is worn on the back. It is light, offers a large print area and suits trade fairs, clubs, schools and events. The most important choice is the material: cotton, polyester or recycled rPET.
Drawstring bags are also called gym bags, gymsacks or sports bags. They are a popular promotional item because they cost little and are carried visibly.
