The screen is aligned with the towel, and ink is squeezed across the mesh. Ink only passes through the open areas of the stencil, replicating the design onto the towel.
How We Work
How are screen-printed towels produced? What should be noted at each stage of towel production? How to choose a reliable and safe towel factory? Screen-printed towels are produced through a series of detailed and precise steps. Each stage of the production process requires careful attention to ensure the highest quality.

1、Bleached Towel Fabric
v9 In the process of screen printing on towels, the raw towel fabric usually needs to be bleached before printing. Bleaching the fabric can provide better printing results.
Bleached towel fabric is pure white, allowing the printed colors to appear more vivid and accurate without interference from the base color(See figure A)
Bleached fabric has a more uniform texture, which can better absorb the ink, resulting in clearer and more delicate printed designs.
Bleaching removes impurities and stains from the towel fabric, preventing these from affecting the print quality.Bleaching typically improves the feel and texture of the towel, making it softer and more comfortable.
Unbleached towel fabric usually exhibits its natural color, which is often light brown, beige, or gray.(See figure B)
2、Printing Towel Preparation
We need to prepare the print design for the towels and create the screens for printing. Finally, we will mix the inks. With these steps, the pre-printing preparations will be essentially complete.
First, our need to create the design you want to print on the towel.
Making the printing Screen.If the design includes multiple colors, you need to separate the colors. Each color will use a separate screen.(See figure B)
Prepare the ink colors according to the design.(See figure A)
Secure the towel on the printing table to ensure it doesn’t move during printing.Pour the ink onto the screen and use a squeegee (or magnetic bar )to spread the ink across the screen. The ink passes through the open design areas onto the towel.
3、High Temperature Curing Towel Colour
After printing, place the towel in a dryer to cure the ink, ensuring it adheres firmly to the towel.
After printing, put the towel in the dryer for up to 30 minutes(See figure A)
Steam high temperature fixed color(See figure B)
The color fastness of the towel is above grade 3.5.
Our factory has passed the color fastness test conducted by SGS.
4、Towel Rinsing Process
After screen printing and high-temperature curing, the towels need to be properly rinsed to remove any residual chemicals and ensure the durability of the print.
Initial Rinse: Rinse the towels in cold water to remove any loose ink particles or surface chemicals.(See figure A)
Wash with Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent to wash the towels. This helps remove any remaining chemicals and ensures that the printed design is clean and vibrant.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the towels thoroughly with cold water to ensure that all detergent and residual chemicals are completely washed out.
Drying: Dry the towels completely, by air drying(See figure C)
5、Fluffing Process for Screen-Printed Towels
we can ensure that the towels have a soft, fluffy texture, enhancing their feel and appearance.
Our place the towels in a tumble dryer and use a low heat setting. The tumbling action helps to fluff up the fibers.
Add dryer balls (or clean tennis balls) to the dryer. They help to lift and separate the towel fibers, enhancing fluffiness.
After drying, give the towels a good shake to loosen the fibers further, then fold them neatly.
The towels have a soft, fluffy texture, best feel.
6、Sewing Towel and Quality Control
The sewing requirements for printed towels are typically focused on ensuring durability, appearance, and stitching quality.
The stitches should be even and tight to ensure durability and prevent unraveling(12 stitches are required within 5 cm)
v9 use strong, high-quality thread that matches the towel's color and withstands repeated washing and usage.
1、Inspect the printed towels to ensure the design is clear and the colors are accurate. 2、Inspect for and trim any loose threads to maintain a neat appearance.
Conduct a final quality check to ensure that all towels meet the required standards before packaging.
7、Pack The Towels For Shipment
