Which Blem towel should you choose?
Most of what you'll find here is the Blem beach towel, and the collection tells you most of what you need to know. Weight is measured in gsm, grams per square metre, so a higher number means a thicker, heavier towel that takes longer to dry and packs bigger.
| Collection | Towels in the range | Weave | Size | Choose it when |
| The Luxe | Turquoise Beach Towel | 400 gram weave | 100 x 200 cm | You want a one-tone colour with a zig zag pattern |
| The All Rounder | The Executive Navy, Khaki | 400 gram, soft weave with flat ends | 100 x 200 cm | You want a plain, light towel with room for a logo |
| The Jackie | Zig Zag, Jackie Black Family Size | 480 gsm; family size 550 gsm | 100 x 200 cm; family size 200 x 200 cm | You want the thickest weave, for picnics as well as the beach |
If the towel is going to be carried around, we'd start with The All Rounder, because the flat ends give a clear space for a logo and the lighter weave dries faster. The Jackie suits a gift that's meant to stay at home as a throw.
The range also has hooded ponchos in large, medium and kids' sizes, in designs such as Ocean Stripe, Zig Zag and Burning Sky. The large ponchos are 100% cotton with a pouch pocket. To keep the beach theme going, there is a Blem reusable bottle (stainless steel, double-wall, 600 ml) and a set of Blem swim shorts, which are 100% polyamide on the Fiji pair we checked.
How do you put a logo on a Blem towel?
Each product page offers one, two or three decoration positions, and the logo is sized to the area available on that item. Towels can be decorated across the main area, at either end or in a designated decoration area, and ponchos on the front, back, chest or pocket.
- For a one or two-colour logo on a towel, embroidery at one end is the usual choice, because the stitching lasts as long as the towel and looks like part of it.
- Larger or flatter artwork suits screen printing or transfer printing.
- Sublimation needs polyester, so it is not the right method for these cotton towels. Our promotional beach towels page has sublimated microfibre options if you want an all-over design.
Before anything is made, the proof shows the position and logo size too.
Ordering Blem products
There's no minimum order, so a club can order twenty towels and a resort two hundred, and mixing colours or designs in one order is fine. You'll get a free digital proof first, and nothing goes into production until you approve it. A standard decorated towel or poncho takes around 7 to 10 business days from approval, and the quote confirms the timing for your order. Embroidery needs your logo digitised into a stitch file, so send a vector file if you have one.
Who buys Blem towels and ponchos?
Surf clubs, gyms, resorts and holiday parks give them to members and guests who use them every visit, so the logo goes to the pool, the beach and the car boot rather than a desk drawer. Brands running summer events or client gifts like them for the same reason, and a thick towel tends to stay in use for seasons. Schools and community groups can use them as fundraising stock or presentation gifts.
Pair a towel with branded beach bags, beach chairs or beach umbrellas for a full summer pack, or add a reusable bottle. For staff or member packs, our kitting service packs everything together.
