Promotional towels are a practical choice for businesses, clubs and organisations that want to combine a useful textile item with their visual identity. This category includes Subowel sublimation towels in S, M and L versions, as well as the Spica compressed towel.
Start by considering how the towel will be used, which size is suitable and what design you want to display. Sublimation and compressed formats serve different purposes, so check each product's dimensions, usage instructions and branding options before ordering.

Sublimation or compressed towel?
The key distinction is between a towel chosen mainly for its printable design area and a product supplied in compressed form before use. A sublimation towel is worth considering when displaying artwork on a suitable surface is the priority. A compressed towel may be a better fit when compact storage or distribution matters most. In either case, the product name alone does not establish every practical characteristic.
Subowel S, M and L: compare actual dimensions
The range includes Subowel S, Subowel M and Subowel L. The letters distinguish the versions but do not replace information about width, length or usable surface area. A sports activity, an event or a corporate gift set may each call for a different size. Compare the specifications for each model rather than relying on the letter alone.
Spica: its form before use matters
Spica is listed as a compressed towel. This format can be useful when space for storage or distribution is limited. Before ordering, check how the product is prepared for use, what it is like once unfolded and how it is presented to the recipient. Those details should not be inferred from the name alone.
Choosing the material, artwork and finish
For a useful comparison, check each model's dimensions, composition, feel in use and care instructions. If the towel will be used frequently, consider how its surface suits the intended task. Do not assume that a characteristic of one towel applies to the others simply because they appear in the same category.
Artwork and branding area
Sublimation printing requires a suitable substrate; the term “sublimation towel” does not itself specify print size or placement. For a logo, lettering or multicolour design, the actual branding area and artwork suitability therefore need checking. Branding options for a compressed towel must be evaluated separately rather than applying the same assumptions as for the Subowel models.
Preparing an order with the right details
To agree on a suitable product, provide the expected quantity, intended use, artwork and preferred branding position. Gajcom can help check the artwork file and select a suitable method based on the material and desired result. If you are considering other products for teams or corporate gifting, explore promotional textile products. The final specifications and order terms are confirmed in an individual quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Do S, M and L indicate standard towel sizes?
Do not assume exact dimensions from the letter alone. Check each model's stated measurements and compare them with your intended use.
Can a sublimation towel feature a photo or detailed design?
On a suitable substrate, sublimation can reproduce multicolour and detailed artwork. The outcome depends on the substrate, artwork quality and available print area, so feasibility should be checked for the chosen model.
Does a compressed towel offer the same printing options as Subowel?
Not necessarily. A different product format does not establish the same material, printing area or branding process. What can be branded on Spica, and where, must be checked separately.
How is the delivery time for personalised towels determined?
The estimated timeframe depends on the specific product, quantity, chosen personalisation and agreed production details. It is confirmed when the order is processed or quoted and cannot reliably be determined from the category alone.
