Promote comfort and your brand with custom blankets

By Jessica Martin

Why choose branded blankets? Because they’re multipurpose! Useful at home or in the office, outdoors and while traveling, they also provide lasting impressions, continuous exposure and a positive emotional link to your brand. In a survey, 87% of respondents said they’d be more likely to do business with an advertiser that gave them a promotional blanket. Our blanket merchandiser, Jessica, highlights must-have promotional blanket styles, featuring everything from soft indoor throws to versatile, packable outdoor blankets.

Give them the warmth of custom fleece blankets

When you need a memorable milestone gift for a staff member or an appreciation gift for a volunteer, think about one of these warm, long-lasting promotional blankets. Fleece blankets are lightweight, soft and cost-effective, making them popular promotional merchandise. The Crossland^® Roll Up Blanket is a favorite option. “With its roll-up design and carry handle, it’s perfect to keep on hand for outdoor events. Plus it’s conveniently sized to store in your car or bag,” Jessica said.

Lightweight fleece blankets are also great for quick layering when the air gets chilly, like at sporting events or around a bonfire. The Aberdeen Fleece Blanket offers just enough warmth in a classic tartan plaid pattern. For a blanket that mimics the feel of a favorite hoodie, check out the Gildan^® Heavy Blend Fleece Stadium Blanket.

Take your marketing on the go with promotional blankets 

Blankets are convenient, durable companions for travel and outdoor activities, like picnics, camping and game time. “Designed to bring comfort wherever you go, these blankets are essential for creating a cozy setting, with portability and functionality being key features,” Jessica said. And they turn users into brand ambassadors because they are perfect for promoting your logo in public settings, like parks, sporting events and concerts. 

The Crossland Picnic Blanket is our most popular outdoor blanket style and is also ideal for travel. “This basic fold-up option is portable—fitting neatly in your car or tote bag—and has a variety of stylish plaid colors to choose from,” Jessica explained. For travel comfort, the plush Grab-N-Go Travel Blanket includes a zippered case that’s designed for easy carrying, hanging right over their suitcase handle.  

For fall sports tournaments or high school football games, consider the Titan Stadium Blanket, which features a nylon backing against warm fleece and folds up securely to be used as a cushion. The Field & Co.^® Oversized Heather Picnic Blanket offers a bit more ground coverage for a larger group during a picnic or other outdoor event.  

Custom plush blankets wrap them in comfort

Thank employees or top customers by gifting them with plush faux-fur or sherpa blankets, which can also be used as decorative home accents. “My go-to blanket is the Bordeaux Faux Fur Blanket. Its signature soft feel makes it the perfect blanket to wrap up in,” Jessica said. It comes in two neutral colors and features a sophisticated faux-leather patch for branding.  

The Micro Mink Sherpa blanket is sure to keep them enveloped in warmth with its extra-soft micro mink front and fuzzy sherpa underside. Available in checked and solid colorways, this thick blanket will be reached for season after season! Another trend in blankets is subtle textures and patterns that add a low-key elegance to living rooms. Check out the Textured Herringbone Woven Blanket, which also features tassels on the hem for added style.  

Blanket decoration options

Blankets with imprints provide high-impact visual appeal. We offer a variety of blanket decoration options to create the best fit for your company logo. 

Purposeful promotional blankets offer impactful imprinting 

Whether used as gifts, rewards or sales incentives, branded blankets deliver both comfort and marketing impact—making them a standout choice in promotional merchandise. We’ve got you covered with an outstanding selection of materials and decoration methods—as well as ways to use promotional blankets! 

Embroidery: Embroidery remains one of the most impactful decoration methods for blankets when you want polish and dimension. Whether bold and graphic or clean and minimal, stitched logos provide a professional finish to a sophisticated promotion. 

Screenprint: Screenprint decoration stands out as a blanket imprinting option, offering bold color choices, high visibility and cost-effective scalability. 

Laser engraving: This decoration method continues to impress, thanks to the elevated, tried-and-true aesthetic and subtle contrast effect on leather and faux-leather patches. 

Full color: The full-color decoration method is gaining traction because it showcases intricate artwork and vibrant gradients. This option is ideal for detailed designs that traditional embroidery may not capture, adding depth and a distinctive custom feel.
