# Promotional Bath Towels: Materials and Trends

<strong>A beach [towel with a logo](/osusky-s-potlacou/) is one of the few promotional products people actually use for years</strong> - and in full sunshine, where dozens of others can see your logo. For businesses, hotels, and events, it is practical, highly visible advertising.

Before placing an order, all you need to do is choose the right material and printing technique based on how the towel will be used.

  <p class="key-takeaways__title">In a nutshell</p>
  <ul>
    <li>A towel with a logo is advertising people genuinely use for a long time.</li>
    <li>Terry cotton = premium feel for hotels; microfibre = sport and travel.</li>
    <li>All-over printing via sublimation; subtle logo on the border.</li>
    <li>Choose size and weight (gsm) based on intended use.</li>
  </ul>
</aside>

## Terry Cotton Versus Microfibre

The two most common materials each have distinct strengths:

| Material | Properties | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Terry cotton (cotton) | soft, absorbent, heavier | hotels, wellness |
| Microfibre | lightweight, quick-dry | sport, travel, events |

## All-Over Print Versus Border Branding

When it comes to branding, there are two main routes. All-over printing covers the entire towel with a colourful design and looks best on microfibre using [sublimation printing](/sublimacna-tlac/). A more understated option is a logo on the border via embroidery or jacquard weaving, which looks premium and holds up beautifully over time.

## Before You Order

Think through quantity, material, and your logo files. The sooner you supply a high-quality logo, the smoother the whole process. We are happy to advise on the best choice and prepare a quote for [custom-printed bath towels](/osusky-s-potlacou/) for your business or venue.
