How much should a custom blanket cost?
A custom blanket should cost about $20 to $55 for a printed 50 × 60 throw, the most common size; small printed blankets start around $10, and sherpa, woven and knit blankets cost more. Handmade knit or crochet blankets are a different product and commonly start around $300.
| Custom blanket | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Small printed blanket, about 30 × 40 in | About $10–35 |
| Printed throw, about 50 × 60 in | About $20–55 |
| Large printed blanket, about 60 × 80 in | About $40–80 |
| Printed sherpa or plush throw | About $30–60 |
| Woven cotton photo blanket | About $50–100 or more |
| Machine-knit name blanket | About $75–150 |
| Hand-knit or crocheted blanket | About $300–500 or more |
Fleece usually sits at the bottom of each band, while plush, sherpa, woven construction and bigger sizes push a blanket toward the top. Online list prices and sale prices can differ a lot as well, which the comparison section below explains.
The bands are wide because "custom blanket" covers very different products. A thin promotional fleece with one photo, a heavy sherpa throw, a jacquard-woven cotton blanket and a crocheted heirloom all go by the same name, so compare like with like: the same size, the same type of fabric and the same kind of design.
For comparison, our shop name blankets cost $16.85 to $46.85, and the next section lists every fabric and size with its price.
Personalized blanket prices in our shop
Every name blanket in our shop costs $16.85 to $46.85, set only by fabric and size: the design you pick never changes the price. A 50 × 60 throw runs from $19.85 in Economy Fleece to $37.85 in Chenille, and the name prints exactly as you type it.
| Fabric and weight | 30 × 40 in | 50 × 60 in | 60 × 80 in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Fleece, 300 GSM | $16.85 | $19.85 | $29.85 |
| Minky Plush, 300 GSM | $19.85 | $27.85 | $37.85 |
| Twin Velvet, 300 GSM | – | $33.85 | – |
| Sherpa, 480 GSM | $21.85 | $36.85 | $46.85 |
| Chenille, 570 GSM | – | $37.85 | – |
Bigger blankets are the better value. A 60 × 80 has four times the fabric of a 30 × 40 (4,800 square inches against 1,200) but costs only about 1.8 to 2.1 times as much. In Economy Fleece, the step from a 30 × 40 at $16.85 to a 50 × 60 at $19.85 buys two and a half times the blanket.
The same pattern holds in every fabric that comes in more than one size: the larger blanket costs less per square inch. So if you're torn between two sizes, the bigger one gives you more for your money.
The price covers the blanket and your name or short text. Type it, pick a font and text color, then check the preview before you add it to the cart.
The design is printed with dye sublimation, so it's dyed into the fabric and won't crack or peel, and most custom blankets are produced in 1–3 business days. Photos, logos, collages, the other fabrics and the 42 × 42 and 96 × 120 sizes are made by quote, covered in the next sections.
Choosing a fabric for your budget is simple: Economy Fleece is our most affordable, Minky Plush adds a velvety softness, Sherpa with its fluffy back and whip-stitched edge is the warm pick, and Chenille is our heaviest shop fabric. See how sherpa, fleece and minky compare for warmth and feel, and why minky costs more than fleece.
What changes how much a custom blanket costs?
Seven things move the price of a custom blanket: the fabric, the size, whether you print text or a photo, how many you order, the edge and finish, how fast you need it, and shipping. On a single blanket, fabric and size matter most; on a group order, quantity does.
- Fabric. Heavier, plusher fabrics cost more. In our shop the two heaviest, Sherpa (480 GSM) and Chenille (570 GSM), carry the two highest 50 × 60 prices. By quote, our blanket types run from a 220 GSM baby swaddle to an 850 GSM faux fur.
- Size. The price climbs with size, but more slowly than the amount of fabric, as the worked example above shows. Beyond the three shop sizes, a 42 × 42 swaddle and a 96 × 120 blanket on select fleece and mink are made by quote.
- Text or a photo. A name on a shop design has a set price. Photos, collages, logos and your own artwork are priced by a free quote with no setup fees, and we reply with pricing and timing within one business day.
- Quantity. There's no minimum, and larger orders get volume pricing, included in your quote. Ordering for a company, an event or a team? Our custom logo blankets page covers bulk orders and logo pricing, and our guide to blanket and towel fundraisers covers school and team sales.
- Edge and finish. Extra sewing or a special finish usually adds cost. Most of our blankets are hemmed; sherpa gets a whip-stitched edge, woven blankets decorative tassels, picnic blankets carry straps, and faux fur a laser-engraved patch instead of a print.
- Speed. Some sellers charge extra for rush production. Most of our custom blankets are produced in 1–3 business days, and shipping time starts once the blanket is made. Rush options are available too, so contact us with your date before you order; our guide to how long it takes to get a personalized blanket walks through the timeline.
- Shipping. Photo-gift sites commonly add about $8–15 for shipping, because blankets are bulky to mail. Shop blanket orders currently ship with the option you choose at checkout: Standard is $9.99 for 1–5 business days and free on orders of $75 or more, while Express 2-Day ($29.99) and One Day ($39.99) are faster. On quoted blankets, shipping is charged on top of the blanket price. Pickup at our Alpharetta shop in metro Atlanta is free.
Two 60 × 80 Sherpa blankets, for example, clear the $75 mark on their own, so a pair of gifts from the shop currently ships by Standard at no charge.
How much does it cost to make a blanket with pictures?
A printed photo blanket commonly costs about $10 to $100, depending on size and fabric, with fleece at the low end and plush, sherpa and woven blankets higher. We print photos by quote on eight of our nine blanket types, every one except faux fur, with no setup fees and a free quote.
A photo quote needs four things:
- The blanket type, or a request for us to suggest one
- The size
- How many blankets you need
- Your photos and any text, such as a name or a date
A photo and a name or date print together as one design, dyed into the fabric with no layer on top. We reply within one business day with pricing and timing, then send a free proof before anything prints. Faux fur is the exception: it takes a laser-engraved patch on one corner rather than a printed photo.
For sharp results, send photos at 300 DPI at the final print size; 150 DPI is the minimum, and the file rules for photo blankets list the rest, from bleed to color mode.
Want to make your own photo blanket? Pick your favorite pictures and send them with a request on our custom photo blankets page, and the proof shows the full layout before printing.
How to compare custom blanket prices
There's no single best maker of personalized blankets; the right one gives you the fabric, size, print and timing you need at a price that still works once shipping is added. Compare these six things side by side:
- Weight. Fleece blankets typically weigh about 150–250 GSM, and budget promotional fleece about 120–180 GSM. Ours are heavier: Economy Fleece and Minky Plush at 300 GSM, Sherpa at 480 and Chenille at 570.
- True size. Some sellers label a 60 × 80 blanket "queen", while a common queen bed blanket measures about 90 × 90 to 90 × 100 inches. We list sizes in inches, with a ±1" manufacturing tolerance and 2–8% shrink after the first wash; our blanket size chart shows how the sizes compare.
- Print method. Dye sublimation makes the design part of the fibers, so it won't crack or peel the way a layer printed on top can. That's how we print every blanket type except faux fur.
- What's included. Setup fees, proofs and previews vary by seller. We charge no setup fees, send a free proof on quoted blankets and show a live preview in the shop designer.
- Sale prices. Many photo-gift sites show a high list price and run frequent sales, so compare the checkout total, not the crossed-out number.
- Time and shipping. Production time comes before transit, so ask about both. Most of our custom blankets are produced in 1–3 business days and printed in Alpharetta, GA, with free local pickup or tracked shipping to all 50 states.
How much should a handmade blanket cost?
A handmade blanket should cost far more than a printed one: hand-knit and crocheted blankets commonly sell for about $300 to $500 or more, and detailed queen-size pieces can pass $1,000. The price mostly pays for labor, often 50 to 90 hours or more of skilled work, plus the yarn.
Size, yarn fiber, pattern detail and the maker's own rate move a handmade price. A picture or graph pattern worked stitch by stitch takes far longer than plain rows, and wool or cotton yarn usually costs more than basic acrylic.
How much do blankets cost to make?
Materials are the smaller part of a handmade blanket: yarn for a queen or king commonly runs about $100–200 or more, and the rest is time. Printed blankets cost far less to make because machines do most of the work in a fraction of those hours, which is why they sell for tens of dollars, not hundreds.
Choose handmade when the stitching itself is the gift. Choose a printed blanket for a photo, a name or exact colors on a tighter budget and timeline: ours are produced in 1–3 business days. If you knit or crochet and plan to sell your own, the last question below covers what to charge.
Pick the fabric and size, then the design
Start with your budget and the size the person needs, then choose the fabric: Economy Fleece keeps the price down, while Sherpa and Chenille make the blanket feel substantial. For a name, our shop prices are set; for photos, logos or a larger order, a free quote comes back within one business day.
Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost of a custom blanket?
Across sellers, a mid-size printed custom throw commonly lands around $20–55, small blankets start near $10, and handmade pieces pull any average far higher. At 50 × 60, our shop range is $19.85 to $37.85 by fabric, with the same price for every design. When you weigh an average, compare blankets of the same size and fabric.
How much does a custom blanket with a name cost?
In our shop, $16.85 to $46.85, set by fabric and size; a 50 × 60 Minky Plush, for example, is $27.85 with the name included. Type the name, pick a font and text color and check the preview, and we print it exactly as you enter it. A name plus a photo, or a long list of names, goes through a free quote.
How much is a queen size custom blanket?
A common queen bed blanket is about 90 × 90 to 90 × 100 inches, and some sellers call a 60 × 80 a "queen". Our largest shop size is 60 × 80, from $29.85 in Economy Fleece to $46.85 in Sherpa: a large throw rather than a bed-size blanket. For a full bed cover, ask for a quote on 96 × 120, made on select fleece and mink.
How much does a custom blanket cost near me?
Picking up doesn't change the price of the blanket; it only removes shipping. Near Atlanta, choose free local pickup at our Alpharetta shop at checkout, and we let you know when your order is ready; quoted photo and logo blankets can be collected there too. Farther away, we ship to all 50 states with tracking.
Is shipping included in the price of a custom blanket?
Usually not: photo-gift sites commonly add about $8–15 for shipping. In our shop, Standard shipping currently costs $9.99 and is free on orders of $75 or more, with faster options at checkout, and transit starts after production. On quoted blankets, shipping is charged on top of the quote. For a tight date, ask us about rush options; pickup in Alpharetta is free.
How much should I charge for a homemade blanket?
Add up the yarn or fabric, your hours at an hourly rate you're comfortable with, and selling costs such as platform fees and shipping supplies. Then check what similar handmade blankets sell for and price your time honestly, since labor is most of the value. Charge more for large sizes and detailed patterns, which take the longest.
