Custom Blankets With Your Photo or Name

Custom Blankets With Your Photo or Name — common questions

Does a photograph print on both sides of a custom blanket?

On a printed blanket the design is on one face; the other is plain, or on a sherpa style a second texture. The woven blanket is the exception — its pattern is built into the cloth, so both faces carry it, reversed.

How many photos fit on one custom blanket?

As many as stay legible once laid out. A collage of a dozen is straightforward on the larger sizes; on a small throw each photo shrinks toward a thumbnail. Arrange the layout and look at the preview before paying — what you approve is what gets made.

What is the difference between a woven blanket and a printed one?

A printed blanket carries the artwork on its surface. A woven one has the design built from coloured yarn as the cloth is made, so there is nothing applied on top, both faces show the pattern, and fine lettering softens. The weaving guide linked above shows the two side by side.

Is a monogram better embroidered or printed on a blanket?

Embroidered. A few letters are exactly what stitching does well, and the raised thread reads as a finished edge rather than as something laid on the surface. Printing becomes the better choice once the design is a picture rather than a word.

How do I find the care instructions for a custom blanket?

Each product page carries the care guidance for that specific material, and it differs across the shelf — a woven throw, a printed plush blanket and an embroidered quilted one are not cared for the same way. Read the page for the piece you are ordering rather than applying one rule to all of them.
