Bath and Hand Towels
100% Cotton Terry Reactive Printed Stripe Towel
A 350 GSM terry hand towel made from 100% cotton with a reactive printed stripe pattern, sized at 70x30 cm. The weave is constructed on a loom using 12s or 21s yarn counts, delivering a soft hand feel and strong water absorption. The reactive print ensures colour remains intact after repeated washing, making it suitable for high-turnover environments. Buyers choose this towel when they need a consistent, wash-resistant design for retail or promotional use without the cost of jacquard weaving.

Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Plain woven cotton towel | Plain woven has no print, so it lacks visual interest but is cheaper and more consistent in weight and shrinkage |
|---|---|
| Jacquard woven towel | Jacquard holds the design in the weave and lasts longer, but it is more expensive and limits colour count; reactive print offers more colour options at lower cost |
| Microfiber printed towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but it does not provide the same cotton hand feel or water absorption, and buyers often reject it for premium home use |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile and dye
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which can weaken the printed edges
- Wring lightly rather than twisting to prevent distortion of the printed stripe
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the printed surface
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent
Questions About This Product
What is the minimum order quantity for this hand towel?
2000 pcs per design. Splitting across multiple Pantone colours of the same stripe pattern is usually possible, so ask before reducing the design count.
How long does a sample take and can I send my own artwork?
Ten days for a sample. Your artwork must be provided as a vector or high-resolution file so the stripe pattern can be set in the printing process.
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.
