Differences between Materials of Personalized Towels

When you typically think of personalized beach towels, you most likely think of terry towels since they are the most capable of absorbing water, thus perfect for a day at the beach or pool. However, there is a multitude of different materials that personalized towels can be made of and we will detail each for you so you can better make a decision.

Cotton towels
There are endless types of cotton used in towels. Many of these depend on the number of threads present and among the highest thread count is 100% Egyptian cotton towels. There is also micro cotton, which is somewhat comparable to micro fiber, as well as standard and organic cotton towels. This material is most common in bath towels as it is soft and durable.

Terry towels
As mentioned before, terry towels have the ability to absorb water quickly. This material is so absorbent because it includes extra material woven lengthwise, essentially making the material similar to a sponge. There are several incarnations of the terry towel, such as jersey terry cloth, terry velour, and the French terry towel. This material is commonly used for beach towels.

Micro fiber towels
Micro fiber towels put terry and cotton towels to shame when it comes to personalized beach towels. Micro fiber is made of synthetic materials that make the fabric soft and highly absorbent. Additionally, this material dries quickly, making it an ideal fabric for beach towels.

In addition to the different materials of towels, there are several other factors to consider, such as the construction of the towels (the way in which they were made), the actual weight and the size. After you have determined the previously mentioned elements, then you can begin to customize your towels either with silk screening or embroidery. The combinations of different elements are endless and can help you create the perfect towel just for you!
