Customization Techniques (What to Choose & When)
1) Jacquard Weave (Cotton)
- Look: pattern woven into the towel itself; premium and durable.
- Best for: hotels/spas, retail collections, tone-on-tone branding.
- Notes: excellent longevity; supports two-sided effects (positive/negative).
2) Embroidery (All Fabrics)
- Look: raised, textured logo; luxury cue.
- Best for: discrete logos, monograms, hotels.
- Notes: pair with border or corner placement; ideal for 1–3 colors.
3) Border Printing / Woven Border (Cotton)
- Look: logo or message on the decorative border.
- Best for: promotional clarity and long logos.
- Notes: maintains absorbent pile surface.
4) Sublimation (Poly/Microfiber or Dual-Face)
- Look: full-bleed, photo-quality artwork.
- Best for: beach towels, retail drops, events/mascots.
- Notes: wash-resistant; combine with cotton back for absorption.
5) Woven & Care Labels, Hang Loops, Packaging
- Labels: brand mark, composition, care icons; custom woven.
- Loops: custom color loops for easy hanging.
- Packaging: recycled polybags, cardboard sleeves, belly bands, or gift boxes.
Color & Design Tips (Pantone-Matched)
- Contrast wins: light logo on dark towel (or inverse) for visibility from a distance.
- Keep it simple: avoid ultra-fine lines that disappear in pile; bold shapes work best.
- Placement: border or corner embroidery for premium look; central graphics for beach/promo.
- Consistency: align with your brand palette and typography; we Pantone-match dyes and threads.
