What's an industrial towel. Something for drying off factories after
it rains? :-)

It can't be anything like a regular towel, because I can't think of a
better way to trap moisture in a package than to put a regular towel
in there.

Besides moisture resistance, a big concern with any plastic bag would
be abrasion resistance. The plastic used for oil "cans" will
eventually rub right through from the rocking in a seaway, unless
stored very carefully. Don't ask me how I know this...
