Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Jacquard woven beach towel | Jacquard holds the design in the weave and lasts longer, but limits colour count and increases cost. Reactive print allows more colours and lower unit cost. |
|---|---|
| Microfiber beach towel | Microfiber dries faster and ships lighter, but lacks the cotton hand feel and natural look that retail buyers expect at a premium price point. |
| Plain dyed cotton towel | Plain dyed offers lower cost and simpler production, but lacks visual appeal. Reactive print adds brand recognition and shelf impact. |
Questions About This Product
What is the minimum order quantity for this beach towel?
2000 pcs per design. Splitting that quantity across several Pantone colours of the same print is usually possible, so ask before reducing the design count.
How long does a sample take and can I get my own artwork printed?
Ten days for a sample. A custom reactive print requires your artwork as a vector or high-resolution file so the design can be prepared for printing.
What is the production lead time after we confirm the order?
45 days after the order is placed. Yarn dyeing to a new Pantone reference sits at the front of that window, so approve lab dips quickly.
Which test reports come with the shipment?
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 covers the fabric, and dyestuffs are AZO free to USA and EU market standard. BSCI and SEDEX cover the social audit side.
How is the towel packed for retail?
One piece per pp bag and 30 pieces per carton as standard. Header cards, hang tags, woven labels and retail polybags can replace that if you supply the artwork.
What are the payment terms?
30% T/T deposit with the order and 70% balance before shipment, or an L/C at sight.
