Looking for the perfect gift for fall and winter? Consider one of our bestselling seasonal items: promotional blankets! Lifestyle gifts (aka things you can use outside the office) offer excellent ROI because people can use them both at home or on the go. Blankets in particular make gift-giving easy since you don’t have to worry about collecting sizes!
What are the four main types of promotional blankets?
We usually categorize blankets by the type of material that they are made from, which may include fleece, knit, sherpa or cotton. Each type has a different “hand”, or way that it feels to the touch. The material also makes a big impact on pricing, so let us know your budget, and we’ll help you find the best promotional blankets for your company.
Take a look at some of our favorite examples of each style.
Fleece
Fleece blankets rank as one of the most affordable options, and there’s good news, too: Almost any decoration method can be used on fleece!
This picnic blanket features fleece on one side and a padded, easy-to-clean PEVA backing on the other. You can enjoy sitting on the super comfy fleece side and not have to worry about getting the blanket dirty! In the sample below, you can see that the logo is debossed instead of embroidered.
If you live in a chilly climate or are the type to wear a coat in the office all year long, then polar fleece might be a good fit for you. This classic plaid blanket has polar fleece on one side and soft sherpa on the other keeping you extra warm all year round!
In this example, you can see that it’s easy to sew your logo directly onto the fleece blanket.
Knit Blanket
Knit offers a soft feel with a trendy look. Within the “family” of knit blankets, you’ll find several types: Cable knit, crochet-knit, and chunky knit. Cable knit and crochet knit offers the best decoration options, but the chunky knit can still make for a great option if you do not want a logo!
Leeman Cable Knit Sherpa Blanket
This cable knit blanket is super cozy, and it includes a layer of cable knit on one side and soft sherpa on the other side. It already comes with a leather patch so it can quickly be debossed with your logo.
This soft fluffy knit pairs soft lambswool on the other side and comes wrapped in a matching ribbon. We recommend direct embroidery for this item.
Sherpa Blanket
Sherpa looks and feels similar to sheep fur. Although it is typically made from synthetic fur, it offers that warm and fuzzy feeling. Sherpa blankets are a big trend right now. You can use patches or embroidery to customize your sherpa blanket.
Wrap yourself up a few times or snuggle up with your family in this oversized sherpa blanket. Made from anti-lint, anti-fade fabric, it comes in several different colors. (This is a bestseller!)
This double-layered blanket features ultra-soft faux fur on one side and sherpa on the other side. It’s great for indoor or outdoor use and comes in a clear bag with a handle.
It also includes a hidden embroidery pocket, which makes it easy to sew your logo directly on the blanket without seeing the back of the logo through the other side!
Cotton Blanket
You can use cotton blankets around the house or at the campfire, or even throw them in your car and take them to the football game! They are easily washable and hold up great over time.
The Gildan stadium blanket is the blanket for on-the-go people. It’s lightweight, durable, and great for game day! Available in 10 colors to match your company colors. We recommend direct embroidery for this style!
This blanket feels soft and cozy, like being wrapped up in your favorite hoodie. You can choose a full-color digital print or embroidery based on what you need for your logo. (This can be screen printed too!)
The Extra Details
Small details are what make a gift stand out. Adding a personal detail with a note or a ribbon can make all the difference. We’ll help you find the best option that fits your style.
Custom Greeting Card with Ribbon
Add a special message to a greeting card and have it wrapped around the blanket with ribbon.
Hands down, this is the easiest way to wrap up your blankets. Just put your blanket into the bag, tuck a card inside and you have the perfect gift.
