A branded towel gift set is two or three embroidered towels packed individually in a belly band, a sleeve or a box, so each set arrives ready to hand over. Velocity Wear makes them in 100% combed cotton from 50 pieces per design, with the logo embroidered or on a woven label, in 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval, and quotes the packaging alongside the towels.

Which packaging suits a towel gift?

Pick a belly band for a light touch that leaves the towel on show, a sleeve for more coverage and room for words, and a box for a premium set or anything posted. All three are individual packaging, one towel or set per pack.

A belly band is the least packaging for the most towel, keeping texture, border and logo visible on a spa shelf or in a welcome pack. A sleeve gives more surface for a message or care note, and a box protects the most and turns two towels into a present when the lid comes off.

Rolled towels suit a belly band; folded ones sit neatly in a sleeve or box.

What goes in a towel gift set?

Most sets pair two sizes: a bath towel (70 × 140 cm) with a hand towel (45 × 75 cm) is the classic, a bath sheet (90 × 180 cm) with a hand towel is more generous, and a face towel (40 × 60 cm) rounds out a spa set. On our towel range, branded hand towels are £6.50 and bath towels £8 per piece, FOB; bath sheets and face towels are quoted.

Gift colours have to suit somebody else's bathroom, so white, grey, beige and navy are safe, and brand colours work only where the recipient knows the brand. Keep the logo modest; choosing a towel branding method covers tonal embroidery and woven labels, and the towel sizes chart lists every size.

Closing gifts, client gifts and staff gifts

A new home needs towels on the first night, which is why estate agents, realtors and builders give them at completion. The guide to realtor closing gift towel sets covers US agents, and branded towels as corporate gifts covers UK client thank-you gifts.

The minimum shapes the design: with 50 pieces counted per design, a different name on every towel makes each name its own order. One shared mark, such as a company logo, a development name or an anniversary year, works for a year of gifts, with a handwritten card adding the personal part. More gifting ideas are on the corporate industry page.

Can a spa or gym sell packaged towels?

Yes. Individual packaging turns a service towel into a retail product, so a spa can sell the towel its clients use in the treatment room and a gym can sell a branded towel at the front desk.

On a shelf the packaging does the selling: a sleeve or belly band can carry the name, size and care note, and a boxed set justifies a higher price point. Our spa towels are high-GSM (grams per square metre) combed cotton with dobby and satin borders, which is what a retail buyer is paying to take home.

How far ahead should you order towel gifts?

Work back from the hand-over date: 10 to 15 working days of production from artwork approval, then freight to your country, then time to add cards and deliver.

Wording on a sleeve or box is proofed with the towel mockup, so settle it early; for Christmas, sign off in the autumn. To feel the towel first, one or two samples cost £150 with worldwide shipping, credited against the bulk order, and how samples work explains more.

FAQ

Quick Answers

Common questions about towels — answered.

A towel belly band is a strip of card or paper wrapped round the middle of a folded or rolled towel, keeping it neat and carrying a name, message or care note. It leaves most of the towel on show, which suits gift sets and retail shelves. Velocity Wear offers belly bands, sleeves and boxed sets on custom towel orders.

A corporate towel gift set usually pairs a bath towel (70 × 140 cm) or a bath sheet (90 × 180 cm) with a hand towel (45 × 75 cm), in a neutral colour with a small embroidered logo or woven label. Velocity Wear branded hand towels cost £6.50 and bath towels £8 per piece, FOB, from 50 per design.

Each towel in a gift set can carry a different name only if each name is ordered as its own design, because Velocity Wear's minimum is 50 pieces per design. Most gift programmes use one shared mark instead, such as a company logo, a year or an occasion, with a handwritten card adding the personal touch.

Branded towel gifts need 10 to 15 working days of production from artwork approval, plus freight and time to add cards and deliver. Approve the towel and packaging artwork early, because production only starts from approval; for Christmas gifting, settle the design and wording well before December.

Personalised towel gift sets from Velocity Wear can be boxed, sleeved or finished with a belly band. Boxed sets suit closing gifts, client gifts and anything posted, because the towels arrive folded and protected. Packaging is quoted alongside the towels, which start from £6.50 for a branded hand towel and £8 for a bath towel.
