One product category, done repeatedly since 2004
Qingdao Hometex makes cotton and microfibre towels for export: beach, bath and hand, hotel linen, kids hooded towels, bathrobes, mats, kitchen towels and blankets. That focus is why the catalogue runs to 613 styles rather than a page of categories.
A specification answer, not just a price
You see the trade between weight, size and decoration before you commit, with colour approved on a physical lab dip and a production sample you can wash, weigh and photograph.
Compliance assembled at quotation, not at shipment
Oeko-Tex Standard 100, BSCI and SEDEX, with ranges built to USA and EU market standards and tested AZO free.
Eleven towel categories across 613 styles
Beach towels are the largest part of the range and the part buyers reorder every season. Around them sit bath and hand towels, kids and baby towels, hotel linen, bathrobes, promotional towels, microfibre, bath mats, kitchen towels and blankets.
Built around how a towel order actually goes wrong
The weight is verified, not claimed
GSM is where towel orders quietly go wrong. Finished weight is verified against the approved sample before packing, so what ships is what you signed off.
Colour approved on a lab dip
Colour is approved on a physical lab dip before any bulk dyeing, rather than on a screen or a printed reference that will not survive the first wash.
A sample you can actually test
A production sample within about ten days that you can wash, weigh and photograph, so the decision is made on the towel and not on a specification sheet.
Documents ready at quotation
Oeko-Tex, BSCI and SEDEX paperwork is assembled at quotation stage rather than chased at shipment, which is when it usually holds a container.
From specification to a packed container
Specification
We answer with the trade-offs between weight, size, yarn and decoration, so the range is costed against what the retail price has to be.
Lab dip and sample
Colour is approved on a physical lab dip, then a production sample follows in about ten days for washing, weighing and photography.
Production
Weaving, dyeing, printing and making-up run to the approved sample, with our own team handling specification, colour approval and quality checking.
Inspection and documents
Finished weight is verified against the approved sample before packing, and the compliance file ships with the goods.
Western Europe, North America and Oceania
Three markets take the large majority of production, which is why the range is built to USA and EU market standards and tested AZO free. Buyers include importers, retailers, hotel groups, promotional distributors and e-commerce brands.
Beach Clubs and Pools
Pool towel pools that survive a full season of daily turnover, dyed to one colour standard so the stock still looks uniform in August.
