How much do custom golf towels cost?
Short answer: an embroidered Port Authority TW51 grommeted golf towel costs $14.70 each at 24 pieces and $12.70 each at 144, all-in, plus $18.99 one-time digitizing. Here is where that number comes from and what moves it.

| 24-47 | $8.70 | $6.00 | $14.70 | $352.80 |

The order total column uses the first quantity in each tier. Add $18.99 for digitizing a new logo. Battle Born Clothing sets the blank price at supplier cost times two when cost is under $10, which is why the TW51 shows $8.70.
What moves the price
Quantity
Decoration drops at 48, 96 and 144. The blank does not change. Going from 120 to 144 towels saves $1.00 per towel, so the 24 extra towels cost about $184 net, not $305.
Stitch count
Up to 6,000 stitches is included. A large multi-color crest can exceed that and is quoted per design. Most tournament logos sized for a towel corner land between 3,000 and 6,000.
Second logo or location
A sponsor logo on the opposite corner is a second location, quoted per job, plus a second $18.99 digitizing fee.
Screen print instead
One color at 48 pieces: $8.70 blank + $4.34 print + $0.25 flash = $13.29, plus $20 for the screen. Cheaper per towel than embroidery at 48, but a flatter look and only for simple art.
Customer-supplied towels
Decoration only plus $2 handling: $7.50 each at 48 for embroidery. Spoilage allowance is about 4% industry standard; we aim for zero.
Other towel styles
The TW50 tri-fold and microfiber towels are quoted per job for the blank; the embroidery matrix is the same. See grommet vs tri-fold.
