At #17, we’ve got a product that’s not fancy, not high-tech—but always clutch when you need something easy, useful, and brandable. It’s the go-to for events, youth programs, wellness campaigns, and travel light missions. Give it up for the drawstring bag.
#17 – Drawstring/Cinch Bags
Last Year: #16 | Utility: 🏃🏽♂️🏋️♀️🎒 | Volume Strategy: A+ | Portability: Elite
Drawstring bags have been part of the promotional lineup for decades—but they’ve evolved. Now available in ripstop nylon, recycled materials, even water-resistant builds, these bags are more than just toss-in totes. They’re campaign-ready.
Perfect for Quick Hits & Large-Scale Reach
- Gyms and wellness studios pack them with water bottles, towels, and trial offers for new members.
- Healthcare providers use them for outreach kits at health fairs and community events.
- Education and youth orgs love them for programs, fundraisers, and summer camps.
- Retailers toss in giveaways at festivals, product launches, and pop-up shops.
- Tech companies include them in onboarding kits and college recruiting tours.
Basically, if you need to distribute branded gear quickly, affordably, and at scale—this is your bag.
Lightweight, but Highly Brandable
Front-and-center real estate makes these perfect for bold prints and logos. Add a splash of color, upgrade the drawcords, or throw in contrast piping, and suddenly you’ve got a bag that stands out in the crowd.
Bonus: they double as walking signage at large events. You’ll see your logo bouncing across conference halls, campuses, 5K races, and hotel lobbies all day long.
Big Impact, Small Budget
Drawstring bags are one of the best value-per-unit items in the game. When you need hundreds—or thousands—they stretch your budget while still offering functionality. And unlike flyers or freebies that get tossed, these bags stick around.
The Final Word:
Drawstring bags are the unsung heroes of high-volume physical marketing. They’re not flashy, but they get used. They’re not expensive, but they get seen. And when paired with the right campaign, they pull way more than their weight.
In 2025, utility and scalability still matter—and drawstring bags check both boxes.
