Cotton Drawstring & Tote Bags in Paterson, NJ

Paterson businesses are replacing single-use plastic with reusable cotton, and BAGSGeek supplies it factory-direct with free delivery across New Jersey and the USA. New Jersey has the strictest law in the country: since May 2022, grocery stores of 2,500 square feet or more may provide only reusable bags, not plastic and not paper, and washable cotton bags qualify as reusable carryout bags, so retailers, makers, cafes and event teams in Paterson need durable, reusable, printable bags. We make 100% cotton drawstring bags, muslin bags, canvas bags and tote bags, blank or custom printed, from single bulk packs to wholesale volumes.

Frequently asked questions

What cotton bag suits apparel and garment packaging?

Use 10x12 to 12x16 inch drawstring bags for folded apparel, and larger 16x20 inch and up bags for bulkier items. Cotton protects garments and breathes, unlike sealed poly bags.

Is there a delivery charge to Paterson?

No. Shipping is free across the USA, so Paterson and the rest of New Jersey are covered at no extra delivery cost, on both blank and custom-printed orders.

Are cotton bags compliant with New Jersey plastic bag rules?

Reusable cotton bags are washable, durable fabric bags, which is exactly what New Jersey's bag law steers businesses and shoppers toward. They are a compliant, reusable replacement for single-use plastic checkout bags in Paterson.

What is the minimum order for printed bags in Paterson?

Custom printed runs start at 100 pieces. Blank bags have no printing minimum and ship in bulk packs, so smaller Paterson businesses can start there and add printing later.
