Pro Tip: For a perfect fit, choose a bag one size larger than needed, as the drawstring gathers at the top and reduces usable height.

Frequently Asked Questions – Small Drawstring Gift Bags

How are drawstring gift bags measured?

All drawstring gift bags are measured flat, from the bottom to the top edge, including the drawstring closure and the fabric above it. This means the full advertised height is not usable space.

For example, a 10cm × 14cm bag (100mm × 140mm / approximately 4" × 5.5") has a usable height of around 10cm, while a 13cm × 18cm bag (130mm × 180mm / approximately 5" × 7") also loses some height to the drawstring closure.

These measurements are approximate. If you're unsure about the size, draw the bag dimensions on an A4 sheet of paper to get a better idea of its actual size and lay your item inside the drawing. Always choose the next size up if your item looks like it might be a tight fit.

Overall Bag Dimensions – Quick Size Guide

10cm × 14cm bag = 100mm × 140mm = approximately 4" × 5.5"

13cm × 18cm bag = 130mm × 180mm = approximately 5" × 7"

Other bag sizes listed on this page can be converted in the same way.

Please remember: These are the overall measurements when the bags are laid flat, not the usable space inside.

What can I use these drawstring gift bags for?

These bags are suitable for small Christmas gifts, decorations, jewellery, party favours, craft projects and small items included in gift hampers. They provide an attractive way to present gifts without traditional wrapping paper.

Are the bags suitable for fragile Christmas ornaments?

Yes, provided the ornament fits comfortably inside. Fragile items such as glass or crystal decorations should be wrapped or protected before placing them in the bag, as the fabric alone does not provide protection against breakage.

Will the bags close properly when filled?

Yes, provided there is enough room above the contents for the drawstring to gather the fabric together. If an item is too tall or bulky, the bag may not close properly. Remember to allow extra space when selecting your size.

Are the drawstring bags reusable?

Yes. The bags can be opened and closed repeatedly, making them suitable for reusable gift packaging, storing decorations and keeping small items together.

Are these bags suitable for businesses making gift hampers?

Yes. Small drawstring bags are useful for presenting individual items within gift hampers, seasonal gift sets and customer gifts. Always check the dimensions carefully before ordering, particularly if you are packaging products of a specific size.
