AS Colour Tea Towel | 1511

Description

The AS Colour Tea Towel is the kind of blank that turns a functional kitchen item into branded merchandise worth keeping. At 200GSM, the 100% cotton construction provides enough weight to feel substantial in hand while maintaining the absorbency you actually need from a towel. The tight weave holds screen print ink cleanly — making it a legitimate canvas for restaurant branding, retail giveaways, or bundled product offerings.

Who Orders It

Coffee roasters and specialty food brands bundle these with retail products. Breweries and wineries use them as taproom merchandise and event giveaways. Restaurants and hospitality groups order custom runs for staff or branded retail. Home goods brands build them into lifestyle collections. Nonprofits use them for fundraiser premiums that people actually keep and use.

Decoration

Screen printing is the primary method here — the flat cotton surface accepts ink evenly and the 200GSM weight prevents bleed-through. Large-format prints work well across the full towel face. DTG is possible but requires pre-treatment and works best with spot graphics rather than all-over designs. Embroidery is limited to corner logos or small placements — keep stitch counts under 5,000 to maintain the fabric’s drape and function.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on tea towels?
Screen printing delivers the cleanest results on the AS Colour 1511. The flat cotton weave accepts plastisol and water-based inks evenly, and the 200GSM weight prevents show-through on reverse.

Is this good for restaurant or brewery merchandise?
Yes — this is one of the most common use cases. The towel is functional enough to actually use, which means your branding stays visible in customers’ kitchens rather than sitting in a drawer.

How well does the print hold up after washing?
With proper curing, screen prints on 100% cotton hold up well through repeated wash cycles. The preshrunk fabric maintains its dimensions, so your print won’t distort or crack from shrinkage.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
