What is the difference between the Rochester Waffle Bathrobe and the Deluxe Microfibre Robe
The Rochester Waffle Bathrobe is made from 240gsm 100% cotton in a breathable waffle weave, making it a practical year-round choice for staff gifts and hospitality use. The Deluxe Microfibre Robe uses 300gsm easy-care polyester microfibre, which feels heavier and more luxurious and resists shrinkage through repeated washing. The microfibre robe is better suited to premium executive gifts and high-value client packs, while the waffle cotton robe works well for larger staff reward programmes where everyday wearability is the priority.
Can I order the Rochester Waffle Slippers to match the branded robes
Yes, Rochester Waffle Slippers are available separately and can be embroidered to match your branded robe order. The slippers are made from the same 240gsm cotton waffle construction with a terry lining, giving a consistent look and feel when paired together. Ordering both as a set is popular with real estate teams assembling settlement gifts, marketing coordinators building product launch packs, and charities using them as premium fundraiser auction inclusions. Our team can confirm sizing, branding placement, and packaging options when you request a quote.
What decoration method is used on branded bath robes
Embroidery is the standard and recommended decoration method for branded bath robes. It stitches thread directly into the fabric, so it handles repeated home washing without peeling, cracking, or fading over time. This makes it far more durable for items that are used and washed regularly. Embroidery placement is typically on the chest or breast pocket area, though our team can advise on sizing and positioning based on your logo. A digital proof confirming stitch placement and colour matching is provided before production begins.
How long does production take for embroidered bath robes
Production for embroidered bath robes typically takes two to three weeks from the point of artwork approval, subject to stock availability. This includes the embroidery digitising process, sample proof review, and production run. If you're working to a specific deadline for a conference, product launch, or seasonal gifting campaign, we recommend reaching out as early as possible so we can confirm stock levels and build a realistic timeline.

Are branded bath robes suitable for corporate gifts and executive gifting programmes
Branded bath robes are one of the most effective premium corporate gifts available because recipients genuinely use them at home, which extends the brand impression well beyond the day you hand them out. They're popular with real estate agencies presenting settlement gifts, HR teams rewarding long-service milestones, and national brands running VIP client programmes. The Deluxe Microfibre Robe in particular is well suited to executive gifting contexts where perceived value is important. Pairing a robe with matching slippers elevates the presentation further.
What colour options are available for promotional bath robes
The Rochester Waffle Bathrobe is available in two colour options, while the Deluxe Microfibre Robe comes in white and charcoal. White robes are the most popular choice for corporate gifting, as they photograph cleanly and present a professional appearance. Charcoal is a strong alternative for brands with darker colour palettes or for gifting contexts where a more contemporary look is preferred. Embroidered logos can be matched to your brand colours using thread colour selection confirmed at the proof stage. Contact our team to discuss which option fits your brief.
What is the minimum order quantity for branded bath robes
Minimum order quantities for embroidered bath robes vary depending on the style and your specific requirements. Stock items typically have lower minimums than custom-made orders, and our team can confirm the exact quantity that applies to your chosen style. As a general guide, stock embroidered garments often start from 25 to 50 units, though this can vary. For a confirmed minimum and pricing based on your quantity, request a quote on 1300 85 50 35 and our team will provide a detailed breakdown.
Can I use branded bath robes for fundraiser auctions or community prize packs
Branded bath robes are well suited to fundraiser auctions, community day prize packs, and sporting club raffle prizes because their perceived value is high relative to many other promotional items. Not-for-profits, charities, and community organisations frequently use robes and slipper sets as premium auction lots that generate strong bidding. A personalised robe with embroidered branding also reinforces the organisation's identity in a way that generic prizes cannot. Our team can help you select the right style and quantity for your event and confirm production timing to meet your date.
