Sourcing Nonwoven Sacks for Laundry and Storage
What a nonwoven sack is
A nonwoven sack is a large drawstring bag made from PP spunbond fabric, used to collect, move, and store soft goods. Unlike a small promotional drawstring bag, it is built for volume and repeat use in a working operation: room and housekeeping laundry in hotels, linen and uniform handling in healthcare, and bulk soft-goods storage in retail and warehousing. The nonwoven body is breathable, which keeps linen and clothing fresher than a sealed plastic liner, and it washes and reuses many times. Most run 50–100 GSM, light enough to stay breathable and fold flat, strong enough to carry a full load.
Drawstring and size options
For a working sack, the drawstring and size decide how it handles day to day:
| Option | What It Does | When to Specify |
| Single drawstring | Simple, quick close | Guest-room and light laundry |
| Double drawstring | Even, secure close | Heavy loads, frequent handling |
| Carry handles | Lift and move easily | Laundry rooms, warehouses |
| Extra-large size | Holds a full load | Bulk linen and storage |
| Color-coding | Sorts clean vs soiled | Healthcare and hospitality |
Choosing GSM for sacks
For a sack, GSM balances breathability against strength. Lighter fabric stays more breathable and folds smaller, which suits guest-room and light laundry sacks; a heavier weight carries more and lasts longer under frequent handling and washing.
| Fabric Weight | Feel | Best For |
| 50–60 GSM | Light, breathable | Guest-room laundry, light storage |
| 70–80 GSM | Balanced | General laundry and facility use |
| 90–100 GSM | Sturdier | Heavy loads, frequent handling |
What to check when sourcing for a facility
- Match the size and drawstring to the load and how often the sack is handled.
- Add color-coding if clean and soiled need to be sorted at a glance.
- Confirm the fabric is breathable and washable for linen and laundry use.
- Confirm the exact GSM and whether the PP is virgin or recycled filler.
- Agree the label or print and a signed-off sample before the run, and confirm consistency across repeat contract orders.
We run fabric, printing, cutting, and sewing in-house, so we can set the size, drawstring, and fabric weight around your operation and hold size, color, and label consistent across a bulk order and repeat contracts. For a hotel group or facility running the same sack across sites, that consistency is what keeps the supply predictable, which is why they keep it with us.
