Hand Towel Manufacturer and Exporter for Global Buyers
What a Hand Towel Manufacturer Does
The manufacturer of hand towels weaves, dyes, cuts, and stitches the hem. A trader does not. A trader buys from a factory and sells it on. That is the first thing an import buyer should check.
TABAN Global (Pvt) Ltd is a bulk towel manufacturing factory in Faisalabad, Pakistan, registered with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan and operating in a sector represented by APTMA. We make cotton hand towels for hotels, spas, gyms, and kitchens. We sell them wholesale, in bulk, and as private label.
We are also a hand towel exporter, not only a mill. That means we handle the export side too. We pack the goods, prepare the papers, and ship from Karachi Port to your port. Many of our buyers are a hand towel wholesale supplier in their own country, and they resell what we make.
This guide covers sizes, GSM, cotton types, logo work, MOQ, and export terms. It is written for import buyers, hotel groups, and wholesale suppliers.
Hand Towel Size Chart
Customers first ask about the size of hand towels. A premium hand towel sits by the sink, It is bigger than a face towel but smaller than a bath towel.
The standard hand towel size is 40x70cm. Some buyers want a little bigger or smaller. We cut to the customer's required size.
| Towel | Size in cm | Size in inches | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washcloth | 30 x 30 | 12 x 12 | Face and body, gym lockers |
| Face towel | 30 x 30 | 12 x 12 | Face, spa rooms |
| Guest towel | 30 x 50 | 12 x 20 | Small guest bathrooms |
| Hand towel | 40 x 70 | 16 x 28 | Sink and vanity |
| Bath towel | 70 x 140 | 27 x 54 | After a shower |
Hand Towel vs Face Towel vs Washcloth
People mix these up all the time. Here is the simple answer.
A hand towel is intended for drying hands. whereas a face towel is softer and smaller. Similar in size to a face towel, a washcloth is used for washing as well as drying.
Hotels frequently order all three in the same color and border, That way, the bathroom looks like a coordinated set.
| Point | Hand towel | Face towel | Washcloth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size | 40 x 70 cm | 30 x 30 cm | 30 x 30 cm |
| Used for | Drying hands | Drying the face | Washing the skin |
| Feel | Firm and quick dry | Soft | Soft, sometimes rough |
| Where | By the sink | Spa and guest rooms | Gym and shower |
Hand Towel GSM Guide
GSM means grams per square meter. It tells you how heavy the towel is. Buyers use this number to compare quality.
For hand towels, heavy is not always better. A hand towel is used many times a day. If it holds too much water, it stays wet. Guests notice that. So most hotels pick a middle weight.
We make cotton hand towels from 350 to 500 GSM as our standard. We can change the weight for your order. Wholesale hand towel buyers usually choose one weight and maintain it across repeat orders. so every reorder matches.
| GSM | How it feels | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 350 to 400 | Light, dries fast | Gyms, salons, busy washrooms |
| 400 to 450 | Medium weight | Three and four star hotels |
| 450 to 500 | Soft and full | Four and five star hotels |
| 500 to 600 | Thick and heavy | Spa rooms and luxury retail |
Cotton, Bamboo, and Microfiber Hand Towels
There are different fabrics like microfiber, cotton and polycotton. They are not the same. Here is the quick model.
We are a cotton hand towel manufacturer. Cotton is what we weave. Combed cotton is our usual preference, because shorter fibers are combed out. It leaves a smoother and stronger yarn. The same yarn runs through our wider bath linen range, including the bath towels most buyers order alongside.
Turkish cotton and Egyptian cotton have longer fibers. They feel softer and they cost more. Zero twist yarn is spun with very little twist, which gives it a softer feel. so that’s why it feels very tender. Ring spun yarn have more life span in hot washroom.
| Material | Good points | Weak points |
|---|---|---|
| Combed cotton | Soft, strong, very absorbent | Dries slower than microfiber |
| Turkish cotton | Long fiber, extra soft | Costs more |
| Egyptian cotton | Longest fiber, top feel | Costs the most |
| Bamboo | Soft, seen as eco friendly | Weaker after many washes |
| Microfiber | Dries very fast, light | Not cotton, feels synthetic |
- Terry weave: the normal loop weave for towels
- Jacquard or dobby border: a woven pattern along the edge
- Zero twist: softer hand feel
- Ring spun: lasts longer in heavy laundry
Custom Logo, OEM, and Private Label
Most of our export buyers want their own name on the towel. As a custom hand towel manufacturer we do that in three ways.
We can weave your logo into the border. We can embroider it on the hem. Or we can print it. All three are covered in our customisation options. Embroidered hand towels are the most preferred choice for hotels, because the thread and design lasts longer even after many washes
As a private label hand towel manufacturer, we also match your packing. You tell us the box, the label, the poly bag, and the fold. The carton arrives ready for your shelf or your store room.
Hand towel OEM work is simple. You send us your own sample or your own spec sheet. We copy it. You own the design, not us.
- Woven logo in the border
- Embroidered logo on the hem
- Printed logo
- Custom color, size, and border
- Custom packing, label, and carton marks
Hand Towels for Hotels, Spas, Gyms, and Kitchens
The same towel does not suit every room. Buyers who tell us the use case get a better product and a better price.
Hotels want a middle weight in plain white, with a clean border. Spas want a softer feel, often zero twist. Gyms want light and fast drying, because the towels are washed every day. Kitchens want a firm towel that can take heat and bleach.
As a hand towel supplier for hotels and hotel chains, we keep the same color and weight across repeat orders. That matters when you run many properties.
- Hotels: 400 to 500 GSM, white, plain or dobby border
- Spa: soft zero twist, calm colors
- Gym: 350 to 400 GSM, fast dry, dark colors hide marks
- Kitchen: firm weave, bleach friendly
- Medical and care homes: plain white, easy to wash hot
Bulk Orders, MOQ, HS Code, and FOB Price
This part is for import buyers. These are the words you will see on the paperwork when you deal with a bulk hand towel supplier.
MOQ means minimum order quantity. Send us your export requirement and we confirm it. We set it per color and per size, not for the whole order. Plain white runs at a lower minimum than a custom dyed shade, because a dye lot has its own minimum. Send us your colors and quantity and we confirm the exact MOQ.
FOB means Free On Board. The price covers the goods, the packing, and getting the container onto the ship at Karachi Port. After that, the freight and the insurance are yours. We quote FOB Karachi. We can also quote other terms if you ask.
For the best price per piece, buyers order a full container load. Hand towels are small and pack tightly, so a container holds a lot of pieces. You do not have to start there. Many buyers place a small trial order first, check the goods, and then move to containers.
We ship to buyers in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Saudi Arabia.
- Hand towel MOQ: set per color and per size
- HS code: 6302.60 (cotton terry toilet and kitchen linen)
- Price terms: FOB Karachi, other terms on request
- Best price: full container load
- Sample: sent before production, so you can check GSM and color
