Bath and Hand Towels
Plain Dyed Cotton Terry Towel with Embroidery on Border
A 500 GSM plain dyed cotton terry towel in a 70x140 cm size, woven with a dobby border and embroidered detail on the edge. The construction uses 12s or 21s cotton yarn, delivering a soft hand feel and strong water absorption. The solid colour is dyed into the yarn before weaving, so the colour remains consistent after repeated washing. This towel is suitable for beach, home, sports, and gift use, with a disposable and quick-dry feature that supports high-turnover environments.

Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Reactive printed towel | Print allows complex artwork and lower cost, but the design sits on the surface and fades faster. Plain dyed construction holds the colour better but limits design complexity. |
|---|---|
| Microfiber towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but lacks the cotton hand feel and natural texture that buyers expect for premium home use. |
| Velour towel | Velour has a smoother surface and better print clarity, but the sheared pile wears faster. This terry towel retains full loop pile and absorbs more water. |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which weakens the terry loops and embroidery
- Wring lightly rather than twisting to prevent distortion of the dobby border
- 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 towel?
2000 pcs per design. Multiple Pantone colours of the same design can be combined within that MOQ, so splitting across colours is usually possible.

Samples take 10 days. Your embroidery artwork must be provided as a vector or high-resolution file for the border to 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 is the first step, so approve lab dips promptly to avoid delays.
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 compliance audit.
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 be added if you supply the artwork.
