BAGSGeek single drawstring bags are 100% woven cotton pouches with one cord that cinches the top closed quickly and easily. Made from natural 145 GSM cotton in 15 sizes from 2x3 to 18x20 inches, they are sold blank or custom printed, from single units to bulk wholesale, with free shipping across the USA.
The single-cord design opens and closes fast, which makes it ideal for lightweight items you access often. It is the go-to style for jewelry, herbs, spices, party favors, and small retail packaging.
Single vs double drawstring: which do you need?
Choose single drawstring for lightweight items and quick access, such as jewelry, tea, seeds, and wedding favors. Choose double drawstring when you need a tighter, more secure close for heavier or bulkier contents. Most sizes are available in both styles.
