Elkay Pull-Tite Drawstring Bags

When you need a bag that closes fast and stays closed, the drawstring is the whole point. Elkay Pull-Tite drawstring bags are built for exactly that — a single pull cinches the opening tight, sealing contents securely without ties, twist-tabs, or heat sealing. That makes them a practical choice for storage, transport, and organization across labs, clinics, and supply rooms where speed and a clean closure matter.

These bags are made from low density polyethylene (LDPE) at a 2 mil thickness, giving them the flexibility to conform around irregular contents while resisting punctures and tearing. The clear film lets staff identify contents at a glance without opening the bag — useful for supplies, specimens, or personal items that need to be inventoried on sight. The 12 x 18 inch size (model DS21218) suits mid-volume items and is one of the most versatile footprints for general facility use.

Common questions buyers ask: Are Pull-Tite bags reusable? The drawstring closure can be opened and re-cinched, so they hold up well for repeated access, though LDPE bags are generally treated as single-use in clinical settings. What does 2 mil mean? It's the film gauge — thick enough for everyday durability but still light and easy to handle in volume. Are they clear enough to label? Yes; the transparent film reads clearly and takes a marker or label without issue.

If you're comparing closure styles for your storage program, it's worth looking at related options such as Seal-Tite and Tite-Rite to match the right seal to each application, or the PULL-IT line for additional drawstring configurations. For most quick-close, see-through storage needs, Elkay Pull-Tite bags deliver a dependable, no-fuss solution at a size that fits a wide range of tasks.
