Short answer:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Which print fits?<\/h2>\n

For a logo in one or two colours, screen printing is usual. Multicolour designs and gradients can be done with transfer printing. The front offers plenty of space, so a large design also works well. More about the methods in the article Printing techniques compared<\/a>.<\/p>\n
