Quick answer: Custom sublimation towels are sports, gym or beach towels printed edge to edge in full colour by dye sublimation. Because sublimation only works on polyester, they are made in microfibre or towelling with a polyester face. Clubs, gyms, fight brands and events use them for players, members, merch shops and giveaways. Pexton Apparel makes custom towels in Sialkot, Pakistan, and ships duty paid to the USA, UK, Canada and Europe, from 30 pieces per design.
A branded towel gets used every training session, so it keeps your club or brand in front of people for years. Sublimation turns the whole towel into your design: crests, photos and gradients printed right to the edges, without the stiffness of a printed patch.

How Custom Towels Are Made
- Artwork check: we size your design to the towel and send a digital mock-up.
- Printing: the design is printed onto transfer paper and heat-pressed into the polyester face of the towel.
- Cutting and hemming: each towel is cut to size and the edges are hemmed so they do not fray.
- Finishing: hanging loops, woven labels and packaging are added, then every towel is checked.
Towels wash best at 30–40°C without fabric softener, which keeps microfibre soft and the print bright. We can print care instructions on a label or insert card.
