Pre-Printed Samples — $9.99
Each pre-printed sample is a finished flour sack cotton towel printed using that specific method — a random design or logo that showcases what the print method looks like in real life. It's the fastest way to get the fabric in your hands and see the color accuracy, line quality, and surface feel before placing a custom order.
Select your method from the variant selector above. Each ships the next business day from our California warehouse.
- Random design — chosen to best represent that print method's strengths
- Full-size flour sack cotton towel — same fabric used in all production orders
- Ships from Southern California next business day (Mon–Fri)
- Free US shipping on orders over $200
Custom DTG Sample — $12.99
Upload your own artwork and see exactly how it prints on flour sack cotton using DTG — unlimited colors, full gradients, fine detail. Printed in the tri-fold position at the bottom third of the towel, the same way all production DTG orders are done. Turnaround is 6 business days after proof approval.
Upload your file using the Choose image button above, or email it to us after ordering. We'll confirm receipt and send a free proof within 1–2 business days.
- Your artwork — exactly as you designed it
- Unlimited colors, gradients, and fine lines
- Printed tri-fold position — matches full production output exactly

Custom Edge-to-Edge Sample — $50–$150
The only way to truly evaluate edge-to-edge printing is to see your own artwork at full-surface coverage on the actual fabric. Because E2E requires printing the fabric as a continuous roll before cutting and hemming, there is a setup cost — which is why the per-piece price steps down as you order more.
| Qty | Total | Per Piece |
|---|---|---|
| 1 sample | $50 | $50.00 |
| 2 samples | $70 | $35.00 |
| 3 samples | $90 | $30.00 |
| 4 samples | $110 | $27.50 |
| 5 samples | $130 | $26.00 |
| 6 samples | $150 | $25.00 Best value |

Frequently Asked Questions
A pre-printed sample is a finished towel we already have in stock — printed with a random design that showcases the print method. It ships the next business day and is the fastest way to feel the fabric and judge print quality. A custom sample is printed with your own artwork, so you see exactly how your specific design, colors, and detail level will look on flour sack cotton — but it takes longer because we print it to order.
No — the maximum for this sample product is 6 pieces. If you need more than 6 pieces of the same design, you're at the point where a small production run makes more sense. Our minimum for a full edge-to-edge production order is 25 pieces. Contact us and we'll quote a small production run for you.
The $25 credit is valid for 12 months from the date of your sample order and applies to your first full edge-to-edge production run. It cannot be combined with other discounts or applied to additional sample orders.
Yes — pre-printed samples are made using the same process, equipment, and flour sack cotton fabric as full production orders. They're a reliable representation of the print quality, color saturation, line detail, and fabric feel you'll receive on your custom order.
For a custom DTG sample: PNG with transparent background at 300dpi or higher, in RGB color mode. For a custom edge-to-edge sample: PDF, AI, EPS, or PNG at 300dpi+ — include 1–2 inches of bleed on all sides. If you're not sure your file is ready, email it to us before ordering and we'll check it for free.
Custom screen print samples are not available — screen printing requires physical screen setup which makes a single custom piece impractical to price. The best option is to order a pre-printed screen print sample ($9.99) to evaluate the method, then contact us to discuss a small custom screen print run.
