How many colours is your design?

That one question decides the best route. Simple artwork in bulk suits screen printing; photos, lots of colours or smaller quantities suit digital.

Tea towel printing questions

Should I choose screen or digital printing for my tea towels?

If your design uses one or two solid colours and you need 100 or more, screen printing gives the lowest price per towel and a very durable print. If your design is a photo, a child’s drawing or uses lots of colours, or you need fewer than 100, digital printing is the better choice.

What is the minimum order for printed tea towels?

Digitally printed tea towels start from just 5 units. Screen printed tea towels start from 100 units.

What are the tea towels made from?

Our tea towels are 183gsm 100% cotton, hemmed on two sides as standard. Screen printed towels are available in White, Natural or Cream, and 4 sided hemming, hanging loops and care labels can be added to either option.

Are printed tea towels good for school and charity fundraising?

Yes. Self portrait and class drawing tea towels are one of the most popular fundraisers for schools and PTAs. Digital printing reproduces every child’s drawing in full colour, and short runs keep the upfront cost low.
