Comparison
How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Towel with stitched border | Stitched borders fray after repeated washing, while a woven dobby border holds up over time and does not require re-sewing |
|---|---|
| Reactive printed towel | Printed designs fade or crack after industrial laundering, while a woven solid colour remains consistent across washes |
| Microfiber towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter, but does not offer the same cotton hand feel or absorbency that buyers expect at this price point |
Use Guide
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile and reduce shrinkage
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which weakens the terry loops and border structure
- Wring lightly rather than twisting to prevent distortion of the dobby border
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the edges and hems
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent to preserve fabric integrity
Questions About This Product
What is the minimum order quantity for this bath towel?
2000 pcs per design. Splitting across multiple Pantone colours of the same dobby border is possible, so confirm before reducing design count.

Samples take 10 days. Custom dobby borders require your design as a vector or high-resolution file for loom setup.
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 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 social compliance.
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.
