Cotton Towels
Our pure cotton towels come in two main varieties: printed and woven. The printed towels, also known as cotton print towels, are made using the latest printing technology, which ensures that the colors are vibrant and long-lasting. These towels are perfect for showcasing a brand logo or design, making them a great choice for promotional events or as part of a branded merchandise line.
The woven towels, also known as cotton jacquard towels, are made using a special weaving technique that creates a raised pattern on the surface of the towel. This adds a luxurious touch to the towel, making it an ideal choice for high-end hotels, spas, and resorts. The raised pattern also helps to improve the absorbency of the towel, making it more effective at drying off after a shower or bath.
Cotton is cheaper to replace and can be bleached over and over, which most synthetic fibers can't handle. Regular household towels are made of cotton and woven into terry (aka terrycloth) which means a fabric of tiny loops similar to a rug, but two-sided.
Beach towels are usually made of velour, which is simply a terrycloth cotton towel with the loops sheared off of one side. They are less puffy (more compact) than full terrycloth, and the sheared flat side is useful for printing designs.
The drawback with cotton towels at the pool, gym or when traveling is that they get very heavy when wet (and cold) and take a long time to dry . Another drawback with terrycloth cotton beach towels is that they can pick up a lot of sand, even with velour, because the loop side is used down on the sand.
Cotton print towels are available in a range of fun and vibrant designs, perfect for adding a pop of color and personality to any brand's merchandise. From bold patterns to subtle designs, designers can help create the perfect print to showcase a brand's logo or message.
Cotton jacquard towels, on the other hand, are perfect for adding a touch of elegance and luxury to any setting. Their raised patterns create a subtle texture that adds depth to the design and enhances the overall look and feel of the towel. They are also incredibly soft and absorbent, making them perfect for use in high-end hotels, resorts, and spas.

Chamois Towels (Shammies)
Chamois refers to the type of fabric (the weave), and come in a soft felt-like finish (chamois or shammy) or a smoother finish.Strong water absorption is advantage.
One drawback with chamois towels is that they feel like you are rubbing yourself with wet blue jeans, and are not big enough to wrap up in like other towels, so have no value in keeping you warm other than to dry you off. If you are a diver or are into ultra-lightweight camping, a chamois towel might be the best towel for you due to its size and the fact that they dry off pretty quickly when wrung-out. They are strictly functional. For example, it can be used for dry hair towels,strong water absorption is advantage. however, so don't expect this to be anyone's favorite towel around the pool at home.
The actual material used in a chamois (shammy) towel is PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) which must be kept wet between uses, and so are sold in plastic cases. If too dry, they turn into a brittle cardboard-like texture, and if put away too wet, they will grow mildew. They are small, which makes them portable, but once inside their plastic carrying case they are no smaller than most microfiber towels.
Microfiber Beach Towels
Microfiber towels are made of microfiber, which actually refers to any fiber which is smaller than the diameter of a silk thread. Microfiber towels are usually made of a polyester/polyamide (aka Polyester/Nylon) blend. There are numerous advantages of these fibers over cotton and PVA. Microfiber is highly resistant to odors, bacteria, and mildew. Wet or dry, it is always soft and comfortable. Microfiber has a variety of colors and patterns, and the quality is excellent. The fabric is soft and skin-friendly, and it is very comfortable to use. The water absorption is also very good, and it is not easy to fade after long-term use. As for toweling, the biggest reason why polyester/polyamide microfiber is used is due to its absorbency, which is a result of the material and the actual structure of the microfiber which gives it an enormous surface area, i.e. a very large absorptive surface in which to interact with water.
There are many different weaves or materials made from microfiber. One is suede microfiber which is smooth like the chamois mentioned above. Even in a bigger towel, smooth microfiber feels uncomfortable to use. Many people can't get past the feel, even though suede microfiber towels are compact and very portable. A full-sized bath towel or beach towel made from suede microfiber can fold up to about the size of a novel, so it's excellent for traveling if you can get used to the feel of it.
Microfiber thread can also be woven into terrycloth. This is a kind of hybrid towel because you have the absorptive properties of a microfiber woven into puffy, comfy loops like a traditional cotton towel. These are nice to use at home, but most aren't any better than a cotton towel if you are travelling, going to the pool, the gym, or the beach, etc. because terrycloth takes up a lot of room and doesn't fold into a compact space no matter what you weave it from.
Microfiber beach towels is highly durable, and is much less likely to fade or lose its shape than other fabrics, even over several years and many washes.Microfiber towels is also more wrinkle-resistant.Microfiber tends to be less expensive and longer-lasting, offering the best value for your money.Microfiber feels smooth and silky because of its tiny, thin fibers, giving it a really luxurious feeling against the skin.
