4½” x 6″ 1.5 mil Clear Polypropylene Pull-Tite Drawstring Bag with White Block

4½” × 6″ Crystal-Clear Polypropylene Pull-Tite Drawstring Bag with White Block — 1.5 Mil

The DS154506W is a 1.5-mil polypropylene drawstring bag measuring 4½ inches wide by 6 inches tall with a white write-on block printed on the front face. Like all DS15 series bags, it features the pull-tite double-drawstring closure — two polyethylene cords threaded through the reinforced top hem that cinch the bag shut with a single pull on each side and form a decorative hanging loop for peg-hook display.

The white block on the DS154506W accepts handwriting from a permanent marker, ballpoint pen, or fine-tip felt-tip pen, providing a built-in labeling surface on the transparent bag face. This eliminates the need for stick-on labels on small merchandise bags, which tend to peel at the edges under retail humidity and handling conditions. Each case contains 2,000 bags.

What Products Fit the 4½” × 6″ Drawstring Bag Format?

The 4.5×6 opening accommodates folded bandanas, handkerchief-size fabric items, bundled hair accessories, small cosmetic brushes, and stacked business card holders. Jewelry retailers use this size for medium-length necklaces coiled in a curl, bangle bracelets, and multi-piece earring sets that need more room than the 3×5 DS15305 but less bulk than the 5×8 DS15508.

Artisan soap and bath product makers find the 4.5×6 format ideal for packaging individual guest-size soap bars (approximately 2.5×4 inches), single bath bombs, or a small lotion sampler bottle. The white block provides space to write the scent name, ingredient note, or price — important for vendor table operations where dozens of product varieties are stacked on a small display and customers need quick identification without unwrapping each item.

Why Does the White Block Add Commercial Value Beyond Simple Labeling?

In addition to serving as a write-on price tag and product identifier, the white block on the DS154506W functions as a natural eye-stop in a retail display. When a peg of clear polypropylene bags is viewed from a distance, the white blocks create a pattern of visual anchors that draw the eye to each individual product, improving product discoverability in dense display configurations compared to fully clear bags without any printed element.

For wholesale and distributor operations that pick and pack many SKUs, the white block serves as a surface for writing bin numbers, pick quantities, or lot codes that guide pickers through the warehouse aisle without referring to a separate paper ticket for each small component bag. This dual retail-and-warehouse function makes the white-block version worth the minor cost premium over the plain clear DS15 bags of the same size.

Artisan and Craft Market Applications for the DS154506W

Craft fair vendors who sell a wide variety of handmade small goods — resin jewelry, hand-stamped metal charms, fabric hair clips, spice rubs, herbal tea blends, hand-poured lip balm pots — rely on the DS154506W to create a clean, professional retail package from products that would otherwise be displayed unwrapped. The crystal-clear PP film communicates product quality at a glance while the white block eliminates the separate stick-on price label that is the first thing to peel off in an outdoor farmers market environment.

The double drawstring loop provides a hanging mechanism that turns the bag into a self-displaying unit on any peg hook, S-hook, or wire grid panel — common fixtures at craft fairs and pop-up shops. Vendors who package inventory the night before an event can write prices and product names on the white blocks in a batch, using the bags themselves as the display system without investing in separate hang tags, label stock, or a label printer.

Is the DS154506W Suitable for Food-Contact Applications?

The DS154506W meets FDA requirements for indirect food contact, making it appropriate for packaging individually portioned dry food items — measured spice blends, bagged tea samples, packaged dried fruit and nut mixes for gift sets, or single-serve condiment sachets assembled for catering tray service. The polypropylene film does not absorb food odors and resists light grease from nut and dried fruit products better than paper alternatives at the same price point.

Specialty food producers who sell at farmers markets, in gift shops, or through online storefronts use the DS154506W to package portion-controlled samples that are distributed as product trials. The white block allows the flavor name or lot date to be written directly on each bag during packaging, without needing a dedicated label printer for small-batch production runs where pre-printed labels would be cost-prohibitive.

How Does the DS154506W Compare to Plain DS15 Bags of the Same Size?

The DS154506W and a hypothetical plain-clear 4.5×6 drawstring bag share identical dimensions, gauge, and polypropylene material. The only functional difference is the white block printed on the bag face. For applications where the bag will always be labeled with a separate adhesive label or where no bag-face identification is needed, the plain version saves slightly on cost per bag. For applications where direct writing on the bag face is routine — craft fairs, small-batch food production, pharmacy sample dispensing, warehouse picking — the white block eliminates a workflow step and a consumable (the adhesive label) that the plain bag would require.

NFCBags.com also offers the DS15508W (5×8 with white block) and DS151014W (10×14 with white block) in the same polypropylene draw-tite format for operations that need the white-block labeling feature in larger sizes. Pairing the DS154506W for small items with the DS151014W for larger items creates a consistent labeled-packaging presentation across a complete product range.
