Printed Tea Towels

In our opinion the tea towel’s enduring appeal is down to the fact it is so much more than just a piece of fabric used for drying dishes.  A printed tea towel can be a work of art, advertise a message, or remind us of a lovely holiday or event.  By our choice of design we also say something about ourselves in what we want to display in our home. 

A selection of eye-catching printed tea towelscan be used to offer a delightfully colourful distraction from a mundane household chore or instantly brighten up any space.

William Morris, leader of the 19^th Century Arts & Crafts Movement said “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”  We know our customers share this belief and it is the foundation on which we base the ethos of our company.

So as well as producing superb prints on top quality fabrics, we can add lots of lovely bespoke touches when we sew your tea towels, making them special not only for you but also your customers.

To also increase perceived value, and make your tea towels even more of a lovely gift, we have lots of imaginative packaging options too.

Custom tea towels are also ideal for fundraising projects – not only being an attractive, well priced product, but also a great way to get a message across too.

Minimum Order Quantities:-

Our minimum order quantity starts at just 25 tea towels for a digital print and 100 tea towels for a screen print up to orders of many thousands for volume runs

Colours:-

We are expert at mixing to any pantone colour required plus matching by eye to supplied swatches or existing products such as mugs etc.  We always keep a sample from your first order.  So when you place a repeat order we benchmark the colours back to the sample, ensuring excellent repeatability time after time. 

Dimensions:-

Our standard tea towel size is 48cm by 76cm approx.

However, because we are unique in having all our cutting and sewing facilities on site, we can also make bespoke sized customised tea towels at a competitive price (for larger orders only). 

Colourfastness:-

All our tea towels are heat-cured through huge gas dryers ensuring excellent colour-fastness.

It is hard to depict how good our print quality is on a website so we always like to send out actual samples with our brochures so you can compare our products directly with our competitors and judge for yourself. 

We are expert at producing the same superb quality using screen print as can normally only be achieved digitally.  The benefit of this is, for many multi-colour tea towel designs, screen print is a far more cost-effective way of printing.

However digital printing is great for smaller runs and for designs with more than 10 spot colours. 

As we are expert at matching digital to screen print, customers can start off with smaller digitally printed orders then, as sales increase, we can change to screen print allowing for greater cost savings.  

Our very experienced Sales team will initially assess your design and produce a quote which not only guarantees the best results and the most efficient way to print your design, but is also the most cost effective way too. 

We will also often quote for both screen and digital print, allowing you to choose the best option from a financial point of view.  

And because we find tea towels endlessly fascinating, here are some facts about our tea towels you may find very interesting too:-

Every year the distance our sewing machinists stitch around the seams of our tea towels is equivalent to driving from Lands End to John O’Groats and back again (this doesn’t include all the other items they sew too) 

One of our tea towels we produced back in the Seventies for the iconic fashion chain Biba sold a few years ago on E-bay for £85 – making us wish we had kept more tea towels from back then

We have two sample tea towels we produced for Google, within three months of the company’s start up, depicting two of the first search pages – it would be interesting to know what these tea towels would fetch now for anyone who bought one back then and still has it in good condition

We are often sent actual tea towels and photos of tea towels we produced at least 25 to 35 years ago (usually well-used but still in very good condition) to ask if we still have the artwork on file for our tea towel printers to recreate.  And amazingly the answer is “Yes – we do still have all of this artwork on record and can produce re-orders”.

The furthest away we have ever exported a tea towel was to a small beach and surfing bar on the south-west coast of Australia

Over the years we have printed many thousands of wedding tea towels, including for every Royal Wedding, and have a print service dedicated towards your special day. 

With minimum orders of just 25 digitally printed full colour tea towels, or 50 screen printed single colour tea towels, a Wedding tea towel makes a very special, inexpensive gift.

Wedding tea towels are increasingly popular as a ‘Save the Day’ reminder, a unique invitation or a great ‘Thank You’ gift, where everyone draws themselves at the reception (in a similar way to the School Fundraising tea towels).

What-ever your requirements are with regards to your Wedding tea towel our Sales and Design team are on hand to assist you.
