Affordable
With low prices and designs, and the ability to print graphics, logos, and promotional slogans, drawstring bags are a great promotional tool for any business.

The cord that threads through the bag closure is usually slightly thicker, which makes the bag more durable, and the material can be made of waterproof materials like nylon and canvas, which can protect your phone from getting wet in the bag from the rain.
Best promotional item
Drawstring bags are as good as cotton, jute, and canvas bags for commercial promotional use. Print the corporate logo on the outside of the bag and give it to your customers as a gift, which is environmentally friendly and practical.
4.2 Cons
The sealed rope may break after repeated use many times. Once the string is exercised, the entire bag will also be unusable. So be sure to focus on the quality of the rope when you buy a stringing bag.
Another point is mentioned above, the problem of fewer compartments. Some people do not like this design because they need more than enough compartments to ensure that the items are in order. Drawstring bags usually have only one compartment, so they may not meet the needs of some people.
