Bath and Hand Towels
Cotton Thin Commercial Dobby Towel
A 400 GSM dobby bath towel made from 100% cotton, woven with a solid colour construction and featuring an embroidered design. At 70x140 cm it fits standard bath and hotel use, and because the embroidery is applied after weaving, it survives repeated washing without fraying. Buyers choose it when they need a durable, lightweight towel for commercial use that maintains its appearance over multiple wash cycles.

Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Reactive printed towel | Print gives sharper detail and lower cost, but the design fades after repeated washing. Embroidery holds the design but requires more setup time. |
|---|---|
| Plain woven towel | Plain weave is cheaper and faster to produce, but lacks visual interest. Embroidery adds a premium look without increasing weight or cost significantly. |
| Microfiber towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but does not offer the same natural feel or absorbency as cotton. This towel is preferred for commercial use where cotton is expected. |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which weakens the embroidered edges
- Wring lightly rather than twisting so the embroidery does not distort
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the hems and embroidery
- 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 is usually possible, so ask before reducing the design count.
How long does a sample take and can I get my own embroidery woven?
Ten days for a sample. A custom embroidery needs your artwork as a vector or high resolution file so the design can be applied after weaving.
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.
