Roll-Up rPET Picnic Blanket

A roll-up picnic blanket made from rPET, which is recycled polyester, with an attached carry handle and a washable surface. Rolled up, it carries by the handle like a small bag, so it goes along to the next concert or park day instead of sitting folded in a closet, and the logo travels with it.

Movie nights, concert series and summer gifts

City parks departments hand it out at outdoor movie nights, radio stations give it away during summer concert series, and credit unions, dealerships and real estate offices use it as a customer appreciation gift. Anyone who sits on grass at a ball field, a beach or a festival will use it.

Choosing screen print or sublimation

Two decoration methods are offered. Screen print is the simple route for one bold logo that reads when the blanket is spread out. Sublimation suits a full, multicolor design across the surface. Because the blanket spends a lot of time rolled up, think about placing the logo where it shows on the outside of the roll. A free proof of the blanket shows that placement before anything is printed.

Updated pricing, 25 to 500 blankets

• 25 blankets: $16.54 each, a $413.50 run plus the $49 setup, $462.50 total (about $18.50 each)
• 50 blankets: $16.21 each, $810.50, setup waived
• 100 blankets: $15.88 each, $1,588.00
• 250 blankets: $15.57 each, $3,892.50
• 500 blankets: $15.26 each, $7,630.00

The unit price moves only about 30 cents per tier, so the setup is the bigger factor on a small order. At 25 the run is under $500 and the setup is added; ordering 31 or more, or adding another item, gets past $500 and drops it.

Five business days to produce

Blankets are decorated in about 5 business days once the proof is approved, then shipped. For a Fourth of July event or a summer concert series, ask for the quote three to four weeks out.
