Advantages:
✔ The process is the simplest and the production cost is the lowest

Advantages:
✔ More durable than trimming, prevents unraveling
✔ Moderate cost, high cost-effectiveness
✔ Softer edges, less likely to scratch car paint

Commonly used in: high-end car care towels, gift towels, etc.
Advantages:
✔ Most durable, tear-resistant, suitable for long-term use
✔ Smooth edges to reduce the risk of friction when wiping
