Cotton Drawstring Pouch 10 x 13 cm | Natural Favour & Gift Bag

Overview

The 10 × 13 cm natural cotton drawstring pouch is our most-ordered favour-size bag — used by wedding planners, jewellery brands, hangover kit assemblers, and small-batch retailers. Made from soft 4 oz natural unbleached cotton with a single-cord drawstring closure. Small enough to hand out as a wedding favour, large enough to hold a piece of jewellery, a candle, a snack pack, or a hangover kit assortment.

If you've shopped wedding favours anywhere, you've seen this size — it's the dominant favour-bag footprint, and we keep it in stock blank year-round to handle the lead-time-sensitive wedding orders that come in 30–60 days before an event. Custom print MOQ is 5 bags; free digital proof on every custom order before production.

Use Case: Wedding Favours at Scale

The 10×13 is the dominant wedding-favour size — we've fulfilled wedding orders from 50 favours to 1,200+ favours. Most popular: bride+groom names + wedding date, single-colour screen print on natural cotton. Pair with a thank-you card and a small gift (chocolates, candles, lottery tickets, mini bottle of liquor, small soap). Typical lead time for a 200-bag wedding favour order is 7–10 business days from proof approval.

For destination weddings where favours travel with the couple, the natural cotton holds up better than tulle or organza alternatives — it doesn't crush in luggage and arrives looking craft-made rather than crumpled.

Use Case: Jewellery Brand Packaging

Indie jewellery brands use the 10×13 as their primary packaging — natural cotton signals eco-craft positioning without plastic poly bags. We've supplied small-batch jewellery brands with custom-print runs of 250–1,000 bags, typically printing a simple logo or signature mark in single-colour. The drawstring closure protects the jewellery in transit and the cotton fabric feels more premium than typical e-commerce poly mailers.

Use Case: Bachelorette Hangover Kits

The "Bride Survival Kit" trend — fill with hangover essentials (painkillers, electrolytes, mints, eye drops, hair ties). Print "Hangover Kit" or custom bride name. Many bachelorette planners order 8–15 kits per party. We have a broader bachelorette/hangover assortment — see our Bride Clutch Bag for the larger overnight-bag size.

Use Case: Coffee, Tea, Soap Packaging

Small-batch coffee roasters, loose-leaf tea blenders, and artisanal soap makers use the 10×13 as primary product packaging. The natural cotton aesthetic communicates handcraft positioning without plastic — important for buyers in the eco/specialty segment. For coffee, the drawstring closure isn't airtight (use an inner foil liner for fresh-roast packaging); for soap and tea, the cotton breathability is actually a feature.

Use Case: Corporate Welcome Box Inserts

The 10×13 fits inside a corporate welcome box as a "small premium" element — hold a USB drive + business cards, a small bottle of branded olive oil, or a folded silk scarf. Printed with a small company mark, it adds a tactile/premium beat to the unboxing experience without competing with the main gift.

Fabric Note: Cotton vs Muslin vs Burlap

The 4 oz natural cotton in this product is soft and pliable — folds easily for shipping in bulk without crushing. We also stock alternatives at the 10×13 size for buyers who want a different aesthetic:

• Muslin (gauze-weave cotton): Lighter, more rustic look — see Custom Muslin Bags 10 × 13 cm
• Burlap (jute): Rustic/jute look, more textured — see Burlap 10 × 13 cm Drawstring Pouch
• Cotton (this product): Tighter weave, softer hand, more durable, takes print cleaner — the "default favour pouch"

Care & Longevity

• Hand wash cold or gentle machine cycle
• Lay flat to dry
• Iron on low if needed; avoid printed area directly
• Reusable for years — many customers keep favour pouches as keepsakes

Material & Sustainability

100% natural cotton, sourced from quality textile mills. No synthetic blends. Fully biodegradable. Drawstring cord is also natural cotton — no plastic component. We ship without individual plastic polybags. Material origin letter available on request.

FAQ

Minimum order for custom print? 5 bags.

Lead time for 500 wedding favours? 7–10 business days production + shipping.

What's the difference between cotton and muslin? Muslin is a lightweight gauze-weave cotton; this product uses a tighter-weave 4 oz cotton for more durability and a cleaner print surface. See the muslin link above for the gauze variant.

Custom print colours? Single-colour most economical; two-colour and full-colour print available with longer lead time.

Can the drawstring be a different colour? Natural cotton cord is default. Coloured cord (5–6 stock colours) available on B2B orders 250+.

Will the cotton hold up in luggage / shipping? Yes — the natural cotton folds without crushing and recovers shape easily. Customers shipping bulk favours to destination wedding venues report no damage when packed loose in a box.
