Improved Sorting Efficiency
When towels come out of industrial dryers, they are often mixed together in large bins. Without visual indicators like stripes, staff would need to manually sort by size or touch. Stripes turn this into a fast, almost automatic process.
In many operations, certain stripe patterns are even color-coded by use. A gym may use blue-striped towels for the locker room and red-striped ones for equipment wipe-down. Similarly, spas might assign different stripes for facial towels versus massage linens.
By implementing striped towel systems, laundry teams can reduce errors and improve turnaround time—getting clean towels back where they’re needed, faster.
Stacking Made Simple
Beyond sorting, striped towels help with stacking and folding consistency. In hotels, presentation matters. Housekeepers are trained to stack towels in neat, uniform piles on carts or in linen closets. Stripes act as a guide: they help ensure that the towel is folded symmetrically and stacked with the pattern facing outward.
This consistency isn’t just about looks. It helps speed up room turnover and ensures that each guest gets a neatly prepared, professionally presented room.
