How to Design a Blanket?

Download Blanket templates in all available sizes in AI and PDF formats via the link. With the help of the templates, you can prepare the file for print in your Adobe Illustrator simply and easily.

*While preparing your file for print, you’ll have to exclude the bleeds layer.

Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Blanket for print:

  1. Choose Blanket size

    Check available sizes before sending your Blanket for global print with Cloudprinter.com on high-quality soft fleece material. 

  2. Set Blanket bleeds
    The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Blanket to make sure all important information is kept safe. For this, simply add 20 mm (0.787 in) at each side of the Blanket. Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Blanket design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no white edges after finishing the Blanket. We recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone — the 20 mm (0.787 in) inside of the cutting edge in order not to be clipped when finishing the Blanket. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Blanket.
  3. Prepare Blanket file for printing
    • Set 300 DPI resolution;
    • Choose RGB colour model;
    • Save the file in PDF/X-4.

Well done! Now you can print your Blanket all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
