Blanket Design

‍

Today, we're diving into the wonderful world of blanket design. Here are some key things to remember to create a stunning design that translates perfectly to a cozy cuddle companion.

Making the Most of the Print Area:

• Dodge the Border: While borders can add a nice touch, they're not recommended for printed blankets. Instead,focus on using the entire printable area for maximum impact. If you absolutely must have a border, allow at least 4-6 inches of space around the design to ensure a clean print.
• Bleed is Your Friend: The "bleed" is the area that gets trimmed after printing. By extending your design to the bleed line (or even slightly beyond), you avoid any unwanted white edges on your blanket.
• Embrace Imperfections: Our blankets are lovingly hand-sewn, which means they might not always be perfectly straight. The printing process can also cause slight shrinkage. Don't worry, this is all part of the charm!

Design Tips for Success:

• Say No to Repeating Patterns: Since the blanket may not always lie perfectly flat, obvious repeating patterns might appear distorted. Opt for more organic or flowing designs.
• Let the Colors Flow: Designs where colors can naturally flow off the edges tend to work best with our printing process. This creates a more seamless look on the finished blanket.

By following these simple tips, you'll be well on your way to designing a beautiful and eye-catching blanket. Remember,keeping these in mind will help avoid any printing mishaps and ensure happy customers snuggled up in your creations!
