Drawstring Bags
Polyester Drawstring Bags
Polyester drawstring bags are lightweight, backpack-style bags made from polyester fabric. They are durable, water-resistant, quick-drying and suitable for sublimation, which means full-colour, edge-to-edge designs — ideal for sports events, gyms and schools.
For runners, footballers, swimmers and school sports teams, polyester is the practical choice: it handles sweat, water and daily use far better than natural fibres, and your artwork can cover the entire bag.

- Quick-drying and easy to clean

- Optional zip pocket, reflective strip and reinforced corners
Best For
Marathons and running events, sports clubs and academies, gyms, swimming, schools and university sports days, and outdoor events.

Which Printing Method Is Right for You?
Tell us your material, artwork and quantity. As a guide: choose screen printing for simple logos on fabric, flexo for large paper or woven runs, rotogravure for photographic BOPP packaging, DTF or digital for full-colour short runs, sublimation for all-over polyester designs and embroidery for a premium, long-lasting finish.
Turn Your Bags Into Brand Advertising
A printed bag is carried through malls, offices, streets and homes long after the sale. Every reuse is another impression for your brand at no extra media cost — making branded bags one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising for UAE businesses.
Artwork Guidelines
Supply vector files (AI, PDF, EPS or SVG) with Pantone references for the most accurate colour. For photographic prints, supply high-resolution images at print size. We share a digital proof for approval before production.

- BOPP bags are printed by rotogravure on the film, before it is laminated to the woven fabric.
- DTF on non-woven uses a low-temperature adhesive, as polypropylene is heat-sensitive.
- Sublimation needs polyester or high-polyester fabric, including cotton-feel polyester.
Printing Questions
What is the best printing method for non-woven bags?
Screen printing is the most popular for logos with a few colours. For full-colour images, choose laminated non-woven bags.
Can you print on both sides of the bag?
Yes. Most bags can be printed on the front, back and gussets.
Can you match my brand colours?
Yes. Supply Pantone references and we will match as closely as the material and method allow.
Do I get a proof before printing?
Yes. We share a digital mock-up for approval before production starts.
