Three towel formats cover almost every order Tee Box Golf Co. sees. Here is how they differ in use, embroidery and price.

## Side by side

|  | TW51 grommeted | TW50 tri-fold | Microfiber (PT400 style) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Cotton terry | Cotton terry | Microfiber |
| Hangs | Flat from corner grommet | Folded in thirds from grommet | Flat or folded, grommet |
| Logo panel | Full face | Outer third only | Full face |
| Embroidery detail | Bold art | Bold art | Finer detail holds |
| Blank price | $8.70 | Quoted per job | Quoted per job |
| All-in at 144, embroidered | $12.70 | Blank + $4.00 | Blank + $4.00 |

## When to pick the TW51

Player gifts, sponsor towels, pro shop stock. It is the lowest-cost known-price towel we run and the one the pricing table on this site is built on.

## When to pick the TW50 tri-fold

When the towel needs to look tidy hanging on a bag and the logo is a compact mark that fits a narrow panel. Good for member and corporate gifts.

## When to pick microfiber

When the logo has finer detail, or the course wants a towel that dries clubs fast. Microfiber is quoted per job for the blank.

## Screen print option

For a one-color sponsor logo at 48 or more, terry towels can be screen printed at $4.34 per piece plus $0.25 flash and $20 per screen. See [screen printing](/decoration/screen-printing-towels-tees/).

## Questions
**Which towel is best for a logo with small text?** Microfiber, then the TW51. Avoid the tri-fold for anything wide.

**Can you embroider both sides?** No. Embroidery goes through the towel, so one side only.
