Blank colored rally towels are easiest to compare by size, fabric, and feel. Standard rally towels range from 11×18 to 14×24 inches, while fan giveaway towels are commonly 11×18 inches. Choose the size that suits your event and how you want the towel to feel in hand.
Color is a key choice, but it’s only one part of planning a bulk order. Consider the towel material, design options, and quantity you need for distribution. This guide covers what to weigh when choosing blank colored rally towels.
You’ll learn how sizes and materials compare, what to consider when choosing colors and product options, and how bulk pricing and minimum order quantities fit into the buying process. Pricing depends on order quantity, towel size, material, and customization, and is provided after a quote request. Use these details to narrow your choices and plan an order that works for your event.
Key Takeaways
- Match towel size and material to how people will use it, carry it, and display it.
- Choose a color that supports your event’s look and keeps any planned design easy to see.
- Compare blank towel options by intended use before settling on a product for your order.
- Plan your quantity around distribution needs, then use the order details to understand pricing and minimums.
- For screen printing or other customization, consider how the fabric and design work together before choosing your towel.
Rally towel size and material
Size and fabric shape how a rally towel feels and functions. For printing, screen printing suits bold artwork, while dye sublimation suits colorful designs; the best fit depends on the fabric and artwork.
Towel Size Options
Standard rally towels range from 11×18 to 14×24 inches. Fan giveaway towels are commonly 11×18 inches, including TBF towels, which measure 11 inches by 18 inches. Printed rally towels range from 12×18 to 15×25 inches. Microfiber rally towels range from 12×18 to 14×24 inches. Compare those dimensions with your distribution plan: a compact towel is easier to hand out, while a larger one gives more surface area.
Towel Material Options
Material affects texture and weight, so compare both before choosing. TBF towels are made of 100% cotton, with terry loops on both sides. Microfiber is another material used for rally towels. Standard rally towels are described as weighing 200-300 GSM, while printed towels weigh 250-350 GSM. Use GSM as a weight comparison, not a substitute for checking the towel’s feel and purpose.
Other weight ranges help clarify the options. Premium rally towels are described as weighing 350-450 GSM. Fan giveaway towels weigh 180-250 GSM, while sublimated rally towels weigh 250-320 GSM. These ranges overlap, so weight alone doesn’t identify the fabric or printing approach. Compare the intended use, surface, and hand-feel together instead of choosing by GSM alone.
Color matters for both the towel and its design. Start with your event palette, such as school or team colors, then consider contrast. Dark artwork can be hard to see on a dark towel, while light artwork may disappear against a pale background. Clear contrast helps a promotional design stand out in a crowd.
Before choosing a color, decide whether the towel should match an existing identity or make the artwork more prominent. A simple logo may need a quieter background, while a bold graphic may call for a deliberate color pairing. Review the towel color and artwork together.
Plan the printing method alongside the material. Screen printing can suit artwork with defined shapes and a limited color palette. Full-color dye-sublimated rally towels are another option for customized towels, particularly when the design relies on multiple colors. The towel’s fabric and the artwork both guide the choice, so compare them as one production decision.
Available towel colors
Color choices shape how rally towels look across a crowd. Start with your event palette, then select a towel color that supports it. A school using navy and gold, for example, could choose one as the background and the other for the artwork. This creates a clear visual plan before ordering blank colored rally towels.
Separate the towel’s base color from the colors in its design. A blue towel with white lettering creates a different effect from a white towel with blue lettering. List the background and artwork colors independently to help keep a logo or message distinct.
Let contrast guide the pairing. Dark artwork is easier to distinguish on a light background, while white or pale artwork can stand out on a darker base. For example, check whether a black logo is visible on a navy towel. If the tones are too similar, adjust the background or artwork color before finalizing the design.
Use your organization’s existing colors when consistency matters. Compare the towel palette with uniforms, banners, event signs, or a digital logo file. A team that uses red and white across its materials can carry those colors into its giveaway design. For a one-time event, choose a palette that reflects the occasion instead of introducing unrelated colors.
Review the design at its intended viewing distance. A detailed mark that looks clear on a screen may be difficult to read across a stadium. Keep the main message distinct from decorative elements, and avoid placing similar shades together. Review a digital proof for balance, contrast, and readability.
Color appearance can shift between a monitor and printed fabric. Review artwork on a screen with brightness set comfortably, then focus on the relationship between the background and design. Don’t rely on a tiny logo preview. Enlarge it and inspect small lettering, outlines, and color blocks for separation.
Plan for group distribution, too. One coordinated color creates a unified look in a crowd. Multiple colors can distinguish teams, volunteers, or event areas, as long as they fit the overall palette. List each intended use before choosing colors so the order supports your event plan.
For a personalized event design, explore custom rally towel options and consider how the towel background will frame your artwork. A clear palette, strong contrast, and readable design make color choices work together.
Blank rally towel product options
First, decide whether you need a blank towel or finished artwork. Blank Colored Rally Towels give your team a base for its own design. A custom design brings the towel and artwork together as one planned giveaway. For example, a school spirit event might call for blank towels to use in a student-led activity.
Next, match the towel type to its intended use. A fan giveaway prioritizes straightforward distribution and visible team identity. Custom Cooling Towels and Custom Beach Towels are alternative options for different event needs. Choose the purpose first, then narrow down the product.
Fabric is another key option. Cotton and microfiber offer different surface and feel considerations. Cotton terry loops create a textured surface, while microfiber provides a different material choice. Think about how attendees will use the towel, and whether the fabric suits the planned design. A large graphic and a simple logo may call for different design planning.
Customization also shapes the product choice. Rally Towels offers Screen Printing, Embroidery, Dye Sublimated, and PMS Colors. Consider the design’s colors and placement when selecting a method. A simple team name has different artwork needs from a detailed mascot illustration.
Build a short product brief before comparing options. Include these details:
- Event purpose, such as a stadium giveaway or school activity.
- Whether the towel will stay blank or receive custom artwork.
- Preferred material, such as cotton or microfiber.
- Artwork style, such as a logo, team name, or full-color image.
- Distribution plan, including who receives each towel.
Shipping times and charges vary with the order details and delivery destination. Allow for production and transit when planning around an event date. Shipping charges depend on destination, order size, and selected shipping service. The total price depends on quantity, material, size, and customization, and is provided after a quote request.
Blank options work best when you know what happens next. If your school plans to add its own team name, choose a towel color that supports the artwork. If you want Rally Towels to produce the design, decide whether Screen Printing, Embroidery, Dye Sublimated, or PMS Colors best suits your project.
Before ordering, check the product choice against your event plan. Stadium distribution calls for straightforward handout logistics, while a spirit event may benefit from a design coordinated with uniforms or banners. Note the intended use, artwork, material, quantity, and delivery destination to focus your product selection.

Blank towel prices and minimum order quantities
The right bulk order depends on the towel and design details. Specify the same requirements when comparing options so you can make a clear decision.
Blank Towel Pricing
Rally Towels provides a quote based on your order details. Specify the quantity, towel size, material, and customization you want. For example, a custom rally towel has different requirements from a blank option. Comparing the same specifications makes it easier to assess what each option includes.
Separate product cost from shipping when planning your budget. Destination and shipping service affect delivery charges, while order details shape the product quote. List your intended quantity, preferred material, dimensions, and whether the towels stay blank. A complete request makes it easier to understand which choices drive the final amount.
Plan your order around the event. A stadium giveaway may prioritize quantity and straightforward distribution, while a school event may place more emphasis on a particular color or design. Write down what matters most, then choose the towel and customization to suit that priority.
Minimum Order Quantities
Minimum order quantities depend on the towel style, production setup, and customization. A blank order and an order with printed artwork can involve different production needs. Specify whether towels will remain undecorated or receive a design. Then compare the minimum against the number of attendees or recipients you plan to serve.
Build your quantity estimate from the distribution plan. Count the teams, event areas, or giveaway stations receiving towels, then include any reserve you need. Use that total when requesting a quote so the order size reflects your event.
Before requesting a quote, gather the details that affect both quantity and cost:
- Intended use, such as a school event or stadium giveaway.
- Towel dimensions and preferred material.
- Blank or customized finish, including the artwork plan.
- Quantity needed for recipients and distribution points.
- Delivery destination and preferred shipping service.
Use one specification sheet when comparing bulk options. For instance, describe the same cotton towel, color, size, and blank finish in each request. If you change the fabric or add customization, treat it as a separate option. This keeps the comparison useful and shows how each decision affects the order.
Coordinate delivery planning with your event schedule. Provide the delivery destination and your intended distribution date when requesting a quote, along with the order quantity and design details. That gives you a practical starting point for planning a bulk purchase.
What are the best blank rally towels for screen printing or customization?
The right design option depends on your artwork and desired finish. Rally Towels offers Screen Printing, Embroidery, Dye Sublimated, and PMS Colors. Match the option to your design, then consider how it will look on the towel’s color and surface.
Start with the design file. A school name, simple logo, or bold mascot has different needs from detailed artwork with gradients. Identify the main image, lettering, and background before selecting a towel color. Then decide whether the design needs strong contrast or a detailed color treatment.
Fabric affects the printing decision. Cotton rally towels can have terry loops on both sides, creating a textured surface. Consider how that texture may interact with fine lines or small lettering. Microfiber is another rally towel material. Review the intended design against the fabric surface and choose artwork that remains clear at the towel’s display size.
Weight can also guide comparison, but it doesn’t choose the printing method by itself. Printed rally towels are described as weighing 250-350 GSM. Sublimated rally towels are described as weighing 250-320 GSM. Those ranges overlap, so compare the actual design process and towel construction rather than relying on weight alone.
Use this checklist before approving a custom design:
- Confirm whether the artwork uses simple shapes or detailed color transitions.
- Check that lettering remains readable at its planned size.
- Compare the design against the towel’s background color.
- Review how the artwork sits on the fabric surface.
- Make sure the selected towel size leaves enough room for the design.
For example, a large school mascot can use a bold, uncluttered layout. A detailed sponsor mark may need closer review, especially if small text sits near the edges. Keep essential artwork clear of crowded areas, and review a proof for weak contrast or crowded lettering before production.
Blank towels make sense when you plan to arrange decoration separately. Choose a towel based on its material, size, and intended use, then plan the artwork to suit it. If you want the towel and design handled together, consider Screen Printing, Embroidery, Dye Sublimated, or PMS Colors.
Prepare the artwork and towel requirements together. Note the desired dimensions, material, background color, design placement, and printing approach. This gives the production conversation a clear starting point. For a coordinated towel and design, plan a custom rally towel design around your artwork and event needs.
Rally Towels: Custom Rally Towels
Rally Towels makes custom towels for fan giveaways, school spirit events, and promotional campaigns. Choose Custom Rally Towels when you want a coordinated towel and design rather than a blank option. Dye Sublimated Towels offer another way to create a colorful custom design.
