Custom School Towels

Which towel fits each school use?

Match the towel to the job: small rally towels for the stands, 30 × 60 beach towels for class gifts and the school store, 16 × 32 gym and sport towels for team benches, and 16 × 24 kitchen towels for keepsakes such as a class art towel. Every one of them takes your logo, mascot or school colors.

A single homeroom, a varsity roster and the whole senior class all go through the same quote. There's no minimum and no setup fee, and bigger orders get volume pricing in the quote, so a school can order what it needs now and come back for more later.

If you can choose only one towel, the 30 × 60 beach towel covers the most ground: the same mascot design works as a senior gift, as school store stock and as a field-day prize.

Swim and dive teams have their own page for named team towels: custom swim team towels. Stadium blankets in school colors are made by quote too, on our custom photo and logo blankets page.

A towel waved by a whole section is usually one design, one color pair and no names, which keeps a large order simple. Plan the design to read from the far side of the field: the mascot, one or two words such as the school name or a game-day chant, and strong contrast between the towel color and the print.

How much do rally towels cost?

Rally towel prices depend mostly on quantity, material and the design. Promotional suppliers commonly list simple microfiber rally towels from about $2 to $7 each at bulk quantities, while full-color designs or small orders often run about $15 to $20 a towel, and many suppliers set a minimum of around 12.

Our rally towels are priced in your quote, with no minimum and no setup fees. To bring the cost per towel down, quote the whole student section in one order so volume pricing applies, and pick the towels up free in Alpharetta instead of paying for shipping.

Rally towel sizes and materials

Rally towels are commonly about 11 × 18 inches, and some run 15 × 18. For beach, bath and other towel sizes, see our beach towel size guide.

On material, cotton terry typically gives the classic thick feel, while polyester microfiber is lighter and often takes bright full-color prints. We confirm the size and material of your rally towels in your quote. Blank rally towels are sold for do-it-yourself projects; the FAQ below covers making your own.

Selling school spirit towels at your school store

A towel in school colors is an easy add-on for a school store, a concession table on game nights or a back-to-school event, because families keep using it long after the season. School stores that buy towels wholesale to resell order at volume pricing, and with no minimum a first run can stay small until you know which designs sell.

• Two price points: a 30 × 60 beach towel and a 16 × 32 sport towel in the same design.
• Mascot-only designs: no names and no year, so unsold towels stay on the shelf for next season.
• One design per sport: the same mascot with the sport underneath, for families of players.
• A big-game design: a towel for homecoming or a playoff run, sold at the gate.

Running the sale as a fundraiser instead? Our towel and blanket fundraiser guide walks through pre-sales, pricing and collecting orders. Many schools sell towels next to spirit shirts and hoodies, which we print too.

How to order custom school towels

Start with three things: the towel, a rough count and the date you need the towels by. Send them with your logo in a free quote request, and our reply, with pricing and timing, comes within one business day; nothing prints until you approve a free proof.

1. Clear the logo first. Many schools and districts manage how their name, mascot and logo are used, so check with the athletic director, principal or booster president before you order.
2. Pick the towel for each group: rally towels for the stands, beach towels for gifts and the store, sport towels for the bench.
3. Count by group: a homeroom, a team roster or the senior class; a range is enough for the first quote.
4. Send the artwork as a 300 DPI PNG or a vector file. No logo yet? Our team can help schools and clubs without artwork put a design together; say so in your request.
5. Add names if each towel gets one: send your list of names (and numbers) with your quote request, spelled the way they should print.
6. Work back from the date: homecoming, spirit week, signing day, graduation or the last day of school. Towel timing is confirmed in your quote, so give the date up front.
7. Approve your free proof, then pick up or ship.

• Off to college: a first name or initials on a 30 × 60 towel for the residence hall and the campus pool.
• Senior night: a player's name in team colors for football, soccer or basketball seniors; our Basketball beach towel is a ready-made option.
• Teacher and staff thank-yous: a hand towel or beach towel with a name at the end of the year.
