It combines portability, quick-drying, and easy-clean features, making it ideal for beach, pool, camping, and other outdoor activities—a cost-effective choice for leisure outdoors.

1. Core Materials & Craftsmanship

1. Material Composition & Features

• Main Material: Commonly 80% polyester + 20% nylon microfiber (fiber diameter <0.4 μm); premium versions use 100% fine polyester microfiber. Fibers have a 3D structure with a large surface area, giving superior absorption and moisture-wicking compared to cotton.

• Lightweight Core: Weight per square meter is usually 180–280 g, towel weight 200–400 g; folded volume is only one-third of a cotton towel, highly portable.

• Performance Advantages: Absorbs 7–9 times its weight in water, dries 3× faster than cotton, smooth surface prevents sand adhesion, soft and skin-friendly, suitable for sensitive skin.

2. Natural Edge Craft

Edges are left raw without hemming or sealing:

• Raw Fringe: Short dense fibers along the edge give a soft touch and develop a natural worn look with use.

• Tassel Edge: 3–5 cm uniform tassels enhance decoration and tropical/vacation-style prints, flowing naturally with movement.

3. Printing Techniques

• Sublimation / Heat Transfer Printing: Vivid, high-precision patterns such as waves, tropical plants, or abstract designs; washable, colorfast, smooth to the touch.

• Direct Digital Printing: Dye bonds with fibers, high colorfastness, soft hand feel, environmentally friendly, suitable for high-saturation and personalized designs.

• Comparison: Heat transfer suits bulk production; direct digital printing is ideal for customization; both outperform paint-based printing in durability and hand feel.
