Rio™ Drawstring Bag

Custom Recycled Cotton and Jute Drawstring Bag

Sustainability meets simplicity in the Rio™ 5 oz. Recycled Cotton and Jute Drawstring Bag, a thoughtfully designed carry-all that proves great things come in compact packages. Ideal for day-to-day use, on-the-go errands, event giveaways, or gym essentials, this drawstring bag is a stylish and responsible choice for anyone who values function and environmental mindfulness.

Crafted from a lightweight yet durable blend of recycled cotton and polyester, the Rio™ bag reflects a commitment to sustainability by repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste. Its subtly textured finish and natural tone lend it a relaxed, earthy appeal that aligns perfectly with wellness, eco-retail, and lifestyle brands. The addition of jute accents adds an extra layer of character and tactile quality, underscoring its sustainable craftsmanship.

Despite its minimalist drawstring silhouette, the Rio™ Bag offers impressive capacity. With 8 litres of space packed into its 420 mm x 380 mm frame, it's spacious enough to carry a water bottle, notebook, snacks, and daily necessities — yet compact and lightweight enough to remain comfortable on your shoulder or in your hand. Weighing only 75 g, it’s easy to pack, easy to carry, and even easier to reuse.

Designed for effortless everyday use, the drawstring closure allows for quick access and secure closure, while the soft cords ensure a comfortable fit whether you're wearing it as a backpack or carrying it by hand. From yoga class and farmers' markets to trade shows and company events, the Rio™ bag travels light while delivering a message that matters.

Artwork Upload 

If you’d prefer to use your own design software to create your artwork, we’ve got some tips to help you design your print-ready file.   

Top Tips:  

• Use high-resolution images (minimum 300dpi), embedded in the PDF.  

• Use a minimum font size of 8pt to ensure legibility when printed.  

• Outline all fonts, or ensure they are embedded in the PDF.  

• Avoid overlapping paths—combine elements into one continuous graphic.  

• Outline all strokes by converting them to shapes.  

• Ink may spread slightly during transfer—avoid designs with closely spaced elements that could blur or merge.  

• White ink can be printed, so please ensure that any areas not intended for print are set to transparent rather than white.
