Bath and Hand Towels
Cotton Embroidery Dobby Face Towel
A 400 GSM dobby face towel woven in 100% cotton with a custom embroidery detail on the face, sized at 40x70 cm. The dobby weave creates a subtle texture that improves grip and water absorption, while the embroidery adds a branded or decorative element without affecting the towel's softness. Buyers choose this when they need a consistent, wash-resistant face towel for hotel, sports, or gift sets where a premium hand feel and durable design matter.

Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Plain dyed face towel with printed logo | Printed logo fades after repeated washing; embroidery holds up longer but costs more per unit |
|---|---|
| Microfiber face towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but does not offer the same cotton hand feel or absorbency that buyers expect at a mid-to-high price point |
| Velour face towel | Velour has a smoother surface that shows print better, but the sheared pile wears down faster and does not hold embroidery as securely |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which weakens the embroidery threads
- Wring lightly rather than twisting so the dobby weave does not distort
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the embroidery and hems
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent
Questions About This Product
What is the minimum order quantity for this face towel?
2000 pcs per design. Splitting that quantity across several Pantone colours of the same dobby and embroidery is usually possible, so ask before reducing the design count.
How long does a sample take and can I get my own embroidery artwork woven?
Ten days for a sample. A custom embroidery needs your artwork as a vector or high-resolution file so the design can be stitched on the loom.
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.
