FAQs About 293 towels
What is the difference between a promotional beach towel and a microfibre towel
Beach towels and microfibre towels are both popular branded options, but they serve different purposes and suit different campaigns. Beach towels are typically made from cotton terry at weights around 400 to 500 GSM, giving them a soft, absorbent feel that people associate with leisure and quality. Microfibre towels are lighter, around 300 GSM, dry faster, and pack down more compactly, making them a better fit for gym partnerships, wellness packs, and travel-related merchandise. Beach towels are popular for summer activations and real estate gifts, while microfibre towels appeal to health and fitness brands and conference merchandise orders.
What is the difference between sublimation printing and screen printing on towels
Sublimation printing and screen printing both produce strong results on promotional towels, but they differ in coverage, colour range, and best application. Sublimation bonds ink directly into the fabric fibres, allowing full-coverage, edge-to-edge artwork with photographic detail and vibrant gradients. It works best on polyester or microfibre towels. Screen printing applies ink through a mesh stencil and is better suited to bold, single or multi-colour logos on cotton towels where full coverage isn't required. Sublimation is a strong fit for statement beach towels, while screen printing handles well for sports towels and golf towels at mid-range price points.
When should I choose embroidery over printing for a branded towel
Embroidery is worth considering when you want a premium, textured finish that communicates quality rather than mass-production. It stitches thread directly into the fabric, so the branding is tactile and lasting, even through repeated washing. Embroidery is best suited to thicker cotton towels, such as bath towels, hand towels, and heavier golf towels, where the pile can support the stitch count. It works best with simpler logos and fewer colours. For complex artwork, fine gradients, or full-coverage designs, sublimation or screen printing will produce a cleaner result. Our team can advise which method fits your specific artwork.
What is the difference between a golf towel and a sports towel for corporate orders
Golf towels and sports towels look similar but are designed for different uses and corporate contexts. Golf towels are compact, typically around 30 to 40 cm wide, and usually feature a grommet or clip for attachment to a golf bag. They're popular for corporate golf days, client gifts, and sponsorship packs where a premium feel matters. Sports towels are generally larger, more absorbent, and made for active use during training or competition. They appeal to schools, community sporting clubs, and HR teams building active rewards. Both styles can be branded, but embroidery is more common on golf towels and screen printing on sports towels.
How long does it take to receive a custom branded towel order
Most custom branded towel orders are completed within two to three weeks from artwork approval, subject to stock availability and the decoration method selected. Sublimation and screen printing on stock towels typically fall within this window. Embroidered towels or orders requiring digitising for the first time may need a little extra lead time to set up correctly. If you have a fixed event date, letting our team know upfront means we can confirm whether your timeline is achievable and flag any risks early. For urgent requirements, discuss your deadline directly with our team on 1300 85 50 35.
What minimum order quantity applies to promotional towels
Minimum order quantities for promotional towels vary by style, decoration method, and whether the product is a stock or custom-made item. As a general guide, screen printed and embroidered stock towels typically start from 25 to 50 units, while sublimation towels may have different minimums depending on the print setup involved. Custom-made or overseas-manufactured towels usually require higher quantities to make production viable. Rather than committing to a number here, we'd recommend requesting a quote so our team can confirm the minimum for the specific towel style and branding method you have in mind. Call us on 1300 85 50 35.
Can I order promotional towels with different colours or sizes in the same order
Yes, many of our towel ranges are available in multiple colours and sizes, and it's often possible to order a mix within the same job. Whether you need beach towels in two colourways for a brand campaign, or a combination of hand towels and bath towels for a conference pack, our team can advise on how mixed orders are structured and whether minimum quantities apply per variant. For sublimation towels, individual sizes and colours may be treated as separate production runs. Getting in touch early with your full requirements helps us give you the most accurate quote and timeline.
What materials are promotional towels made from
Promotional towels are made from a range of materials, with cotton terry and polyester microfibre being the two most common options in corporate merchandise orders. Cotton terry towels, typically 400 to 500 GSM, are absorbent, soft, and well-suited to bath, hand, and sports towel applications. Polyester microfibre towels, around 300 GSM, are lightweight, fast-drying, and ideal for gym and travel-related merchandise. Some ranges use a cotton-polyester blend to balance softness with quick-drying performance. The material you choose affects which decoration methods are available, so it's worth confirming your artwork requirements before selecting a style.
Quick selection guide for promotional towels
How to choose the right promotional towel for your order
Choose a golf or sports towel for corporate days and club merchandise
Golf towels and sports towels serve very different purposes, so matching the right style to your event or audience makes a real difference to how the product is used and perceived. Golf towels are compact, typically 30 x 50 cm or 40 x 60 cm, and usually include a grommet or clip for attachment to a golf bag. Embroidery is a popular branding method for golf towels because the stitched finish adds a premium feel that pairs well with corporate hospitality and client gift settings. Screen printing is a practical option for larger quantities at a budget to mid price point. Sports towels in a heavier cotton terry are a strong fit for schools distributing end-of-year merchandise, community sporting clubs ordering seasonal gear, and HR teams building active lifestyle reward packs. A marketing coordinator organising a corporate golf day with 80 guests, for example, would find a mid-weight embroidered golf towel an effective and well-received gift. Confirm your decoration artwork is camera-ready before placing your order to avoid delays.
Selecting bath, hand, or microfibre towels for staff packs and conferences
Bath towels, hand towels, and microfibre towels each fill a distinct role in staff welcome kits, conference merchandise, and hospitality gifting, so the right choice comes down to where the recipient will use them. Bath towels at 500 GSM cotton terry are a premium option for hotels, charities building fundraiser prize packs, and businesses sending high-value settlement or onboarding gifts. Hand towels at around 30 x 50 cm fit neatly into conference merchandise bags and health clinic welcome kits without adding bulk. Microfibre towels are the most popular choice for gym partnerships, wellness programs, and large-volume staff reward orders because they pack down small and dry quickly. Embroidery handles best on thicker cotton bath and hand towels, while sublimation printing gives microfibre towels the most vibrant, full-coverage colour result. For orders combining multiple towel styles, our team can help you coordinate decoration methods and timelines. To discuss your requirements, request a quote on 1300 85 50 35.

Why choose Corporate Essentials for promotional towels

Digital Proof Before Every Towel Order Goes Into Production

Before any branded towel order goes into production, our team sends you a digital proof so you can review exactly how your artwork will appear on the product. This step isn't a freebie add-on. It's a core part of how we make sure your logo placement, colour match, and decoration method all meet your expectations before a single unit is made. For towels, where branding position, print coverage, and colour accuracy matter to the finished look, this proof step protects your investment and avoids costly reprints. We'll work through any adjustments with you until the artwork is right.
