What moves the price
For drawstring bag, the drivers are dimensions, fabric weight, handle length, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For a mid-range custom-printed drawstring bag, price is mainly driven by fabric type/weight, bag size, and print complexity; public wholesale listings show low-cost non-woven/polyester bags at roughly the low end and cotton/canvas styles materially higher. Realistic supplier routes are U.S.-facing promo distributors for smaller and mid-sized runs, or China/overseas OEM/ODM factories for the deepest volume discounts, with landed-equivalent pricing often improving sharply at 10k+ units. Typical production windows cited by custom suppliers are around 6–8 weeks, especially when sampling and artwork approval are included.
