Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Reactive printed bath towel | Print allows for complex artwork and lower unit cost, but the design fades faster and may crack after washing. Dobby maintains texture and colour without surface printing. |
|---|---|
| Microfiber bath towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but lacks the natural feel and breathability of cotton. Dobby cotton is preferred for premium home and gift markets. |
| Plain woven cotton towel | Plain weave is cheaper and simpler, but lacks the subtle texture and durability of dobby weave. Dobby adds structure and visual interest without extra cost. |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which weakens the woven texture
- Wring lightly rather than twisting so the dobby pattern does not distort
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the hems
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent
Questions About This Product
What is the minimum order quantity for this towel?
2000 pcs per design. Splitting that quantity across several Pantone colours of the same dobby weave is usually possible, so ask before reducing the design count.
How long does a sample take and can I get my own design woven?
Ten days for a sample. A custom dobby needs your artwork as a vector or high-resolution file so the texture can be set 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.
