Questions about Custom Hand Towels?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.

What is the difference between velour and terry cloth hand towels?

Velour hand towels have one sheared (cut) side that creates a smooth, flat surface — ideal for high-detail printing. Terry cloth towels have looped fibers on both sides for maximum absorbency — ideal for embroidery. Many of our towels feature velour on one side and terry on the other.

Can you embroider on both sides of a hand towel?

We typically embroider on the sheared velour face or along the hemmed edge for the cleanest result. Double-sided embroidery is possible on select terry styles, but we recommend discussing placement with our design team during the free proof stage to ensure optimal results.

Are custom hand towels suitable for gym and fitness use?

Absolutely. Our terry cloth and microfiber hand towels are specifically built for high-moisture environments. Embroidered and screen-printed decoration withstands repeated washing and heavy daily use in fitness centers, gyms, and athletic facilities.

Is there a minimum order quantity for custom hand towels?

We accept any quantity with no minimum order requirement. Whether you need a single sample or a large production run for a hotel program, we handle every order with the same attention to quality.

Do you offer hand towels with corner grommets?

Yes. Several of our Carmel Towel Company and Q-Tees styles feature reinforced metal corner grommets for hanging. These are especially popular for golf towels, fitness towels, and kitchen use. The grommet area is also a great spot for small embroidered accent branding.

How quickly can I get my custom hand towels?

Standard production time is 10-14 business days after proof approval. If you're on a tight deadline for a hospitality launch or event, please mention your date so we can prioritize your order with our rush production services.
