Custom Dish Towels – Functional, Aesthetic and Memorable

Transform plain kitchen towels into a memorable keepsake. Ideal for housewarming events, family gatherings and holiday gifts, custom tea towels are functional, aesthetically pleasing and can be crafted with meaningful memories.

Featuring your favorite hound, this cotton dish towel is super soft, absorbent and food-safe. The waffle weave helps tackle spills, while the classic striped fabric gives your kitchen an air of country chic and diner appeal.

Napkins

Before dishwashers, disposable culture and cheap manufacture, people relied on cloth to dry dishes, wrap bread, proof pastry and add a splash of color to a set table. Typically crafted from rough wool or hemp, these towels were more akin to scratchy scrub cloths than the plush drying heroes we’re used to today.

Luckily, the Industrial Revolution brought us the mass production of cotton, turning the humble towel into a luxuriously soft, absorbent and lint-free kitchen custom dish towels companion. Now, flour sack dish towels are super soft in the hand, super light to handle and are completely lint free. Plus, the natural cotton-linen fabric becomes even softer after every machine wash.

Some homeowners adorn theirs with embroidery, pinning them like tapestries to the wall or framing them as art objects. Others view their tea towels as simple tools that serve a functional purpose. It’s not uncommon for them to occupy an intermediary role between decorative and utilitarian, as they’re both versatile enough to function as placemats or table runners at events or be transformed into reusable napkins and decorations when crafting with children.

The best custom kitchen towels are made from a lightweight cotton-linen blend, which makes them lint-free and ultra-soft. They also feature reactive printing, infusing the ink into the fabric for a high-quality print that stands up to repeated washings. These towels are perfect for displaying your company’s logo or creating one-of-a-kind towels for birthday parties, bridal showers and other special occasions.

Tea Towels

When it comes to drying dishes, glassware, and pots and pans in the kitchen, tea towels are a great choice. They are lightweight and absorbent, allowing excess water to soak away without leaving lint behind. Plus, they’re decorative too! Add a touch of flair to your kitchen with custom tea towels featuring favorite recipes or a photo.

Historically, tea towels were made of soft, lint-free flour sack linen. They were often hung near the stove, where they helped protect delicate tableware and other precious items from the heat of the oven. Tea towel patterns could range from simple designs to elaborate renderings of landscapes and buildings. The thin fabric also allows air to flow, keeping food fresh and preventing steam burns on hands.

Today, the humble tea towel continues to be a kitchen staple. They can be found at big box stores, specialty shops, and even flea markets and yard sales. They’re also a favorite of collectors. Many seek out vintage linens that retain their original tags, labels, and stains. Others display their favorite framed designs on the wall. Vincent Van Gogh, for example, painted on stretched tea towels, creating works like “Large Plane Trees” and “Wheat Fields in a Mountainous Landscape.”

Whether you’re adding a personalized touch to your own kitchen or gifting one to a friend, personalized dish towels make thoughtful gifts that elevate everyday tasks. Choose a design that showcases your loved ones’ memories, captures your family’s signature recipe, or celebrates your local heritage. Just remember to leave a 2-inch bleed area around the edge of your image. This will ensure your design is printed properly and doesn’t get trimmed off during production.

Kitchen Towels

Whether you’re prepping food at home or in a restaurant kitchen, towels are essential to every kitchen. They absorb spills, clean surfaces, dry hands, wipe crumbs and even help disposable dishwashing cloths keep food warm on the table. They’re also easy to keep stocked and in good shape.

Kitchen towels can be made of a variety of materials, but cotton is the classic choice. Its long fibers stretch to pick up plenty of liquid and its density is strong enough to hold up well over time. Other popular options include microfiber towels and natural lintless muslin cloth. Kitchen towels are often heavily used, so they need to be highly durable and washing-machine friendly.

Our edge-to-edge printed tea towels are the perfect way to add a splash of color to your kitchen and bring a touch of personalized charm. Each towel features your choice of design or wording. Choose a favorite family name, cute kitchen saying or a sweet song lyric to add an extra personal touch to your set of custom dish towels.

We take your chosen design and print it directly onto a roll of cotton flour sack fabric. Once the printing is complete, we cut the fabric to your specifications and stitch it together into a single tea towel.

Crafting Towels

Create a set of reusable kitchen towels using your own artwork or designs to match your interior decor and brand theme. We use reactive printing to infuse the colors into the fabric for unparalleled brightness and durability. We offer both landscape and portrait orientations, along with wavy edging in four colors.

Tea towels are thin cotton linens that come in sizes ranging from small napkins to classic dish towel size. They are lint-free, soft, and highly absorbent and can clean up spills and other kitchen messes quickly and easily. They can also function as makeshift cheese cloths for straining stocks and making ghee, or as an alternative to a salad spinner to dry greens and herbs.

Aside from their usefulness in the kitchen, these versatile linens are a great craft project to do with children. Kids can create their own design and stamp it onto the towels, creating a unique and fun family keepsake for the kitchen. Embroidery and cross-stitch are also popular methods for customizing these versatile linens.

Choose a premium, organic cotton that is soft and breathable, yet durable enough to endure regular machine washes. This material will become softer and more absorbent with each wash, making it the best choice for your towels. Look for other features that make these linens easy to care for, like a hanging loop and machine wash friendly label.
