Cotton drawstring bags for product packaging: sizes and fabric guide
A drawstring bag is one of the simplest pieces of packaging there is, and one of the most useful. It protects the product, looks good in an unboxing video, and stays with the customer as a pouch for travel, storage or gifts.

Example sizes
| Use | Size W × H (cm) | Inches | Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jewellery pouch: rings, earrings | 8 × 10 | 3.1 × 3.9 in | TX-DRW-8x10 |
| Small: accessories, sunglasses | 10 × 15 | 3.9 × 5.9 in | TX-DRW-10x15 |
| Medium: cosmetics, bottles, gifts | 20 × 25 | 7.9 × 9.8 in | TX-DRW-20x25 |
| Large: clothes, dust bags | 30 × 40 | 11.8 × 15.7 in | TX-DRW-30x40 |
| Drawstring backpack | 33 × 43 | 13.0 × 16.9 in | TX-DRW-33x43 |
Drawstring bags are measured flat, width by height, including the channel at the top. Buyers in the USA and Canada usually order in inches, and buyers in Europe and Asia in centimetres. Every bag is made to order, so any custom size is possible.
Choosing the fabric
- Cotton: soft, smooth and easy to print. The usual choice for jewellery, cosmetics and apparel.
- Canvas: heavier and more structured, for premium products.
- Jute and juco: a natural, rustic look for gifts and handmade products.
- Polycotton: an economical option for promotional packs.
Fabric weight is made to your requirement, subject to fabric availability, and fabric can be dyed to your Pantone colour.
Cords and closures
Choose one cord or two. Two cords pulled from opposite sides close the bag more evenly and are common on larger bags. The cord material and colour are confirmed on the sample.
Adding your brand
A small one-colour logo in screen print is the most common choice. Digital print suits full-colour artwork, and embroidery or a woven label gives a premium finish. Keep the logo in proportion to the pouch: on an 8 × 10 cm jewellery pouch, a small mark looks better than a full logo with a tagline.
One family, three sizes
E-commerce and D2C brands often order the same design in three sizes, so every product ships in a matching pouch. Ordering all sizes together keeps the colour and print consistent.
