Durability, wash-cycle testing and GSM — the specifications that matter for hospitality contracts.
Hotel linen lives a hard life. It is laundered hundreds of times a year at high temperatures, so specifications matter more than aesthetics alone.
Look for contract-grade fabrics that have been wash-cycle tested. Tensile strength, colorfastness and shrinkage control determine how linen performs over a multi-year contract.
GSM (grams per square metre) is a key indicator of towel quality and feel, but consistency across bulk production is equally important. A reliable exporter guarantees the same hand-feel in every carton.
Finally, align on par-stock levels and reorder lead times early so your property never runs short during peak occupancy.
