Branded drawstring bags for Türkiye sports, gym and event programmes
Polyester and cotton drawstring bags for İstanbul sports clubs, gym kits, university welcome kits. 210D polyester or 140 gsm cotton. MOQ 100, KDV 20% e-Fatura.
Where a drawstring bag lands
Türkiye's drawstring bag market is heavy on sports and gym. İstanbul's major fitness chains (MacFit, Sportin, Fitbull) commission 200–1,000 unit programmes of a branded drawstring bag as a new-member welcome kit — the bag carries gym clothes, shoes and a water bottle every visit. Sports-club youth academies at Beşiktaş, Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe commission 500–2,000 unit programmes of a drawstring bag as part of the season starter kit. University orientation at İTÜ, Boğaziçi, Sabancı, Koç runs 200–500 unit programmes of a cotton drawstring bag with the cohort year.
Two fabric formats
Standard is a 210D polyester shell, 33×40 cm, single-drawcord top closure, reinforced corners. Premium is a 140 gsm cotton (soft hand-feel, more sustainable) or a 220 gsm cotton canvas (heavier, holds print better). All drawstring bags feature a polyester cord, brass eyelets (on premium), and a sewn-in care label. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on request. We hold five stock colourways and Pantone dye-lot match for 1,000+ unit programmes.
Branding a drawstring bag
Silkscreen (one to four Pantone colours) is the default — Pantone-matched, plastisol-free inks, OEKO-TEX compliant. Heat-transfer (full-bleed) handles full-colour photographic branding, common for sports-club programmes, +TRY 12/unit. Woven label on the side seam is the discreet mark for premium programmes. Sublimation on polyester (full-bleed photographic) is the move for sports-club kits with photographic branding. We avoid embroidery on drawstring bags — the soft fabric rejects the embroidery.
