10 ways to use cotton bags for packaging
EDIT: we no longer offer cotton drawstring bags, but there are plenty of suppliers who do, and we still think they're a great packaging option!
Drawstring cotton bags are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional packaging materials. Not only are they a great packaging tool, they also double as a functional item. Your customers can hold onto them and re-use, leaving a lasting impression of your brand.
Whether you stamp them with your logo, or leave them plain, cotton bags are super versatile and can be used in many different ways. Here’s ten ways you can use drawstring cotton bags.
Health and Beauty
Handmade soaps, essential oils, cosmetics – many health and beauty items fit perfectly with the aesthetic of a cotton bag. It also provides a protective layer between your product and your outer packaging materials, such as your shipping box or mailer.
Glassware
A cotton bag won’t protect your glass items from breaking in transit, but they will keep them from being scuffed or dusty from cardboard and void fill materials. Pop in candles, food items or other bottles or jars into a bag before you add your protective items like bubble wrap, butchers paper or tissue paper.
Stationary items
Notebooks, zines and other stationery goods can feel more inviting with tactile cotton bags acting as a liner inside your mailer.
Accessories
Products like wallets, headbands, bow-ties, socks – can be tricky to package. Give yourself a break, and use a cotton bag.
