• Very Large Branding Area – Your logo is printed on the front and centre for maximum exposure.

Case Study: 7% Increase in Engagement for Your Local Club

Your Local Club, the principal partner of the Regional Academy Games, purchased 1000 custom drawstring bags from Cubic Promote. They annually host academy games to give opportunities for the emerging athletes to train and be exposed to high-level competition. For this year’s event, they sought giveaways that would enhance their visibility and boost their engagement. During the first day of the event, they distributed these to the athletes, coaches, and staff. 

Key Metrics & Results:

• All 1,000 bags arrived 3 days before the scheduled arrival time, compared to their previous supplier, who caused delays (mentioned by their staff during the meeting)
• 7% average increase in social media engagement, with athletes sharing photos and tagging the event on social platforms

By purchasing drawstring bags from us, Your Local Club ensured they had ample time to prepare the goods before the event while also increasing their social media engagement.

• Screen Printing – Ideal for simple logos. We recommend no more than 3 spot colours. Any more than choose full colour digital print.

• Embroidery is not a popular branding method on these types of bags, but it is an option available to you.

Pros and Cons of Drawstring Bags

Why should I order from a wholesale supplier instead of retail?

Wholesale supply is the standard option for businesses, schools, and organisations that need branded products in bulk. It offers:

• Lower unit cost: Bulk pricing reduces overall spend compared to paying retail per item.
• Consistency: Every product in the order is made to the same standard, ensuring a uniform look.
• Custom branding: Logos, colours, and messaging can be added during production.
• Professional service: Wholesale suppliers manage proofing, large volumes, and coordinated delivery.

Retail outlets generally do not provide personalisation, consistency, or cost efficiency at scale.
