Overview
The 4" × 5" (10 × 13 cm) natural cotton drawstring pouch is our most-ordered favor-size bag — used by wedding planners, jewelry 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 favor, large enough to hold a piece of jewelry, a candle, a snack pack, or a hangover kit assortment.
If you've shopped wedding favors anywhere, you've seen this size — it's the dominant favor-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 US shipping kicks in at $150+; free digital proof on every custom order before production.

Use Case: Wedding Favors at Scale
The 4×5 is the dominant wedding-favor size — we've fulfilled wedding orders from 50 favors to 1,200+ favors. Most popular: bride+groom names + wedding date, single-color 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 favor order is 7–10 business days from proof approval.
For destination weddings where favors 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: Jewelry Brand Packaging
Indie jewelry brands use the 4×5 as their primary packaging — natural cotton signals eco-craft positioning without plastic poly bags. We've supplied small-batch jewelry brands with custom-print runs of 250–1,000 bags, typically printing a simple logo or signature mark in single-color. The drawstring closure protects the jewelry 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 4×5 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 4×5 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 4×5 size for buyers who want a different aesthetic:
-
Muslin (gauze-weave cotton): Lighter, more rustic look — see Custom Muslin Bags 4×5
-
Burlap (jute): Rustic/jute look, more textured — see Burlap 4×5 Drawstring Pouch
-
Cotton (this product): Tighter weave, softer hand, more durable, takes print cleaner — the "default favor 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 favor pouches as keepsakes

FAQ
Minimum order for custom print? 5 bags.
Lead time for 500 wedding favors? 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 colors? Single-color most economical; two-color and full-color print available with longer lead time.
Can the drawstring be a different color? Natural cotton cord is default. Colored cord (5–6 stock colors) 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 favors to destination wedding venues report no damage when packed loose in a box.
