Short answer:<\/strong> Anyone who wants towels printed usually means: with a logo on them. With us the logo gets onto a towel in two ways: embroidered or woven in. Embroidery is the usual choice for terry cloth and lasts a very long time. With weaving, the design covers the whole towel; that pays off in larger quantities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Towels with a logo are used for a long time and washed often. The method therefore has to match the material. This article shows the differences and helps you choose.<\/p>\n

Embroidery<\/td>\nTerry towels, bathrobes, logos and names<\/td>\nVery durable and wash-resistant; very small lettering and fine lines cannot be embroidered cleanly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Weaving<\/td>\nAll-over designs in one or two colours<\/td>\nThe design is part of the fabric and cannot fade; worthwhile in larger quantities<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Fabric weight<\/h2>\n

Fabric weight is given in grams per square metre (g\/m\u00b2). Many terry towels are between 400 and 500 g\/m\u00b2. A higher weight feels denser and softer and absorbs more water. Microfibre towels are much lighter and dry faster.<\/p>\n
