Bath and Hand Towels
Plain Dyed Terry Bath Towel With Dobby Border
A 350 GSM plain dyed terry bath towel with a dobby border, woven in 100% cotton and sized at 70x140 cm. The dobby border adds a subtle texture and structure to the edge, preventing fraying during repeated washing. Because the colour is dyed into the yarn before weaving, the towel maintains its appearance after multiple washes, making it suitable for high-turnover environments like hotels and fitness centres. Buyers choose this towel when they need a consistent, durable bath towel with a clean, simple look and a reliable edge detail.

Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Reactive printed bath towel | Print gives more design options and lower unit cost, but the design sits on the surface and fades after repeated washing. Plain dyed holds the colour but limits design complexity. |
|---|---|
| Velour bath towel | Velour has a smoother surface and better print visibility, but the sheared pile wears faster and absorbs less water than terry. Plain dyed terry maintains absorbency and durability. |
| Microfiber bath towel | Microfiber dries faster and weighs less, but does not provide the same cotton hand feel or absorbency. Plain dyed terry is preferred for premium home use and hotel settings. |
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 dobby border edges
- Wring lightly rather than twisting so the terry pile and border do not distort
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the hems and border
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent
Questions About This Product
What is the minimum order quantity for this bath towel?
2000 pcs per design. Splitting that quantity across several Pantone colours of the same dobby border is usually possible, so ask before reducing the design count.
How long does a sample take and can I get my own dobby border design woven?
Ten days for a sample. A custom dobby border needs your artwork as a vector or high resolution file so the pattern 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.
