Port Authority PT38J1 - Rally Towel - Pop Raspberry
Selected Color: Pop Raspberry16 colors
Choose Size
Description
The Port Authority PT38J1 is a cotton terry rally towel built for stadium events, sports programs, and branded promotional giveaways. The terry construction absorbs moisture on both faces while providing a smooth enough surface for screen-printed logos, sponsor marks, and event branding. Hemmed edges finish cleanly without fraying through repeated use and washing.
Screen printing with plastisol ink is the primary decoration method. The cotton terry holds ink with good coverage across the imprint area. DTF transfers bond to the cotton surface for full-color artwork on smaller quantities. Water-based ink absorbs into the terry for a softer hand with a vintage feel. Embroidery works for small corner logos with proper terry stabilizer.
