What makes a commercial towel?

A commercial towel is designed around how it is laundered and replaced, not how it looks on a shelf. It is washed more often, at higher temperatures, and handled in bulk.

• Reinforced hems and borders that hold up to repeated washing
• Weights chosen for drying time as well as feel
• Consistent colour, especially white, across batches
• Packing designed for receiving and storage, not display

Retail towels prioritise first impression. Commercial towels prioritise the hundredth wash. A good commercial specification states both what the towel should be and how it will be used.
