Embroidered Blankets With Company Logo: Gifts That Stay Out
The best embroidered blanket for a company gift is a low pile fleece or sherpa lined throw with one clean logo in a lower corner.
Pick a blanket whose face holds stitches: a low pile fleece, or the smooth side of a sherpa lined throw. Put the logo in one lower corner, big enough to read from across the room, and keep it tonal or a single thread color. For an early December hand out, approve the proof by Friday, November 20.
Why a blanket outlasts the rest of the gift table
A blanket gets used, and it gets used at home. That is the whole case. Mugs pile up, pens disappear, and a branded notebook is full by spring. A throw blanket goes on the couch the week it arrives and stays in the rotation every cold night after that.
It also removes the hardest part of apparel gifting: sizes. One blanket fits the whole company, from the warehouse to the board. Nobody has to fill out a form, nobody gets the wrong size, and you order one number instead of a size run.
And it lives where your logo rarely goes. A jacket gets seen at the office. A blanket gets seen by the family, the roommate and the guest who sits on that couch. A small, clean mark in the corner reads as a thank you, not an ad.
Blankets that take a needle well
Fleece and the smooth side of sherpa take embroidery best. Anything with a deep pile or an open knit will swallow fine detail, so the logo on those has to be bolder and simpler. Stitches sink into high pile and loose loops. A tight, smooth face holds them on top where they can be read.
On a sherpa lined blanket, your logo is embroidered on the smooth fleece side, never the shaggy side. The stitches would vanish into the sherpa, so plan for the fleece side to face up on the couch.
Fleece throw
Best forLarge lists, detailed logos and gifts you need to ship flat. The low pile face holds the cleanest stitch of the three.
Skip it whenThe gift is for a short client list and you want it to feel like something from a home store.
Sherpa lined throw
Best forA gift that feels heavy and generous in the hand, with the logo on the smooth fleece face.
Skip it whenPostage per box matters or your logo depends on thin lines and small type.
Knit throw
Best forA home decor look for clients and leadership, paired with a bold, simple mark.
Skip it whenThe logo has fine detail or a tagline. Open loops let small stitches sink out of sight.
How the three compare
| Criteria | Fleece throw | Sherpa lined | Knit throw |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holds a small logo crisply | Crisp | Smooth side | Soft edges |
| Takes a large corner mark | Yes | Yes | Bold marks |
| Feels like a premium gift | Everyday | Plush | Decor |
| Packs flat for shipping | Thin | Bulky | Bulky |
Filled square: strong fit. Empty square: weak fit or needs a workaround.
One corner, sized for across the room
Put the logo in one lower corner, square to the edges or turned on the diagonal, and size it so it still reads when the blanket is folded over a chair. That is where people see a blanket: folded, from a few steps away. A mark sized for a polo chest disappears on a throw.
Keep the mark simple. Small text, thin outlines and taglines do not hold on plush fabric, so we usually drop the tagline and keep the symbol or the wordmark alone. Tonal thread (a shade close to the blanket color) or a single color reads more expensive than a full color logo on a gift like this. Send the logo file we need and the proof will show the exact size and position on your blanket.
If you want a bigger corner mark or a statement logo across the center, that is fine, it just moves into the large design pricing line. Read up on how stitch count drives the price of a bigger mark before you decide how big to go.
The decoration price, line by line
Blanket embroidery is $55 per piece for designs up to 22,500 stitches, then $1 per 1,000 stitches above that. A new logo carries a one time $35 setup. The blanket itself is quoted separately, because the price depends on the style, weight and color you pick.
| Item | Published price |
|---|---|
| Blanket embroidery, up to 22,500 stitches | $55 per piece |
| Stitches above 22,500 | $1 per 1,000 |
| Setup for a new logo | $35 one time |
| Garment or blanket | Quoted separately |
Those lines come straight from our published embroidery price list. Your quote confirms how your logo prices on the blanket you choose, so you know the number before anything is stitched.
Want a second, smaller piece in the box? Once your logo is set up, it can go on more than one item. For a winter theme, a stitched beanie pairs well with a throw and uses the same file.
Gift lists often split by personality. If part of yours spends weekends on a course, an embroidered golf towel for the golfers on the list is a lighter, cheaper way to cover them.
Nobody puts a good blanket in a drawer. It goes over the couch, and the corner with your logo goes with it.
Proof dates for a December hand out
Approve your proof by Friday, November 20 and the order targets completion between Thursday, December 3 and Tuesday, December 8. Logo embroidery on stock items runs 7 to 10 business days from proof approval, and that count skips Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26 and the Friday after.
Approve on Wednesday, December 2 and the order targets completion between Friday, December 11 and Wednesday, December 16. That still works for a party the week before the holidays, with less room if something changes.
Shipping sits on top of those windows, and they are targets, not promises. Rush is available upon approval if your date is closer than that. The real delay is almost never the embroidery. It is waiting on a logo file, a final count or a sign off. For the wider season, see our full holiday order calendar.
If the blankets are part of a bigger order with jackets or polos for the team, read when to order company apparel for the holidays, over at PILLAR and plan both on the same calendar.
Hand it over ready to open
A gift feels like a gift when it arrives folded, wrapped and ready to hand out, not in a bulk carton someone has to sort on a conference table. We can fold each blanket, pack it with one card, and pack by name when the blankets go to specific people or offices. Ask about client and employee gifts we pack and ship if your list is spread across the country.
One card beats three inserts. Write a short line from the owner or the team, sign it, and let the blanket do the rest. Skip the brochure.
For leadership or top clients, pair the blanket with something people wear. We often point buyers to the pieces people wear most from our own PILLAR line, so the box holds one thing for the couch and one thing for the week.
What buyers ask before ordering blankets
Can you embroider a sherpa blanket?
Yes. The logo is embroidered on the smooth fleece side of a sherpa lined blanket, not the shaggy side, where stitches sink and the logo gets lost. Keep the mark simple and bold for the cleanest result.
How big should the logo be on a blanket?
Big enough to read from across the room when the blanket is folded over a chair. That is larger than a left chest logo on a polo. Your proof shows the exact size and corner placement before anything is stitched.
Is there a minimum order for embroidered blankets?
No. There are no minimums, so you can order a handful for top clients or one for every employee.
How much does it cost to embroider a blanket?
Our published price for blanket embroidery is $55 per piece up to 22,500 stitches, then $1 per 1,000 stitches. A new logo has a $35 one time setup. The blanket itself is quoted separately.
Can you embroider blankets we already bought?
Yes, we decorate supplied items. We assume no liability for loss or damage to garments or items provided by the client, so check every blanket before you send it and include a spare if you can.
When should we order for a December hand out?
Approve the proof by Friday, November 20 for a completion target between December 3 and December 8. Approving on December 2 targets December 11 to December 16. Shipping is added on top, and rush is available upon approval.
