Terry Towel Production
Terry Towel Production
Terry towel manufacturing is a structured and quality-driven process that transforms woven terry fabric into premium finished towels. Each stage ensures precision, durability, and presentation according to international standards.
Slitting
The longitudinal cutting of wide-width terry fabric into specific towel widths, usually performed by blades as the fabric comes off the loom or finishing range.
Ribboning
The specialized attachment of woven borders, decorative tapes, or twill ribbons to the edges of the towel to prevent fraying and add aesthetic value.
Panel Cutting
The transverse cutting of the long fabric rolls into individual towel lengths, ensuring the loops and borders are aligned according to the size specifications.
Stitching
The sewing phase where the raw edges of the panels are hemmed (side hems and end hems) and labels are attached using heavy-duty industrial machines.
Grading (A B C)
The rigorous inspection of finished towels where Grade A represents premium quality, Grade B denotes minor pull-outs or oil stains, and Grade C refers to rejection-level defects.
Grade Wash
A corrective or aesthetic washing cycle used to remove industrial oils, stabilize the pile (loops), or attempt to salvage Grade B items by removing superficial marks.
Mending
The manual restoration process where “burling” or “picking” is used to fix pulled loops, knots, or missing threads to upgrade the towel’s quality grade.
Packing
The final compression and boxing of towels, often involving specific folding techniques to showcase the pile and borders for retail or institutional buyers.
