Full-bleed dye-sublimation
The print spec
Print-method education
Most “custom blankets” are surface prints: screen-printed ink or a heat-pressed vinyl film sitting on the fabric. That layer is what cracks along fold lines, peels at the edges, and fades in the wash.
We dye-sublimate instead. Under heat and pressure the dye turns to gas and bonds inside the 120-denier NubaySoft 2.0 fiber, so the color is part of the fabric and there is no layer to fail.

A real review
Denier counts and bonded ink are easy claims to make on a website. Here is an unscripted hands-on review of a finished NubaySoft 2.0 print, the color, the detail, and the hand-feel after the press.

Sublimation is only as good as the fiber it bonds into. Coarse fleece swallows detail; cheap polyester goes shiny under the press. NubaySoft 2.0 uses a fine 120-denier fiber that takes dye evenly, holds photographic detail and smooth gradients, and stays genuinely plush after pressing.
It is the fabric behind every tier we print, developed by Spectator Sport USA, the sports gear and equipment company whose flagship line is custom blankets.
120 denier
Fine fiber that resolves small text and fine linework
Even dye uptake
No blotching or banding across large color fields
Soft after press
No stiff print panel: the hand is identical everywhere
Wash-stable
Color lives in the fiber, so laundering cannot lift it
Five print tiers
Every tier is full-bleed dye-sublimation on NubaySoft 2.0. Upper tiers add weight, ply, and double-sided printing. Wholesale runs start at 72 units, and most projects land between $30 and $90 all-in per blanket depending on tier and quantity.
Fabric weight, in grams per square meter
GSM is how much fabric is actually in the blanket. Pick a tier and compare it to the fleece most “custom blanket” vendors print on.
Double-ply, our most popular tier: keepsake weight at bulk pricing.
Full dye-sublimation print on NubaySoft 2.0 at the most accessible price point. As low as $30.98 per blanket at 500+ pieces.
Single-sided full-bleed
Our highest-resolution single-sided print. Fine linework, photographic detail, and smooth gradients come through cleanly.
Single-sided full-bleed
Heavier, double-ply construction with the same fiber-bonded print. The all-around pick for bulk orders and gifts.
Single-sided full-bleed
Everything in D-Luxe plus full-bleed printing on both faces. Different art per side or a coordinated reverse.
Printed on both faces

Dye-sublimation turns the dye to gas under heat and pressure, bonding it into the fiber itself. There is no printed layer sitting on top, so there is nothing to crack, peel, or flake.
The print runs edge to edge with no borders, no print box, and no blank margins. Backgrounds, gradients, and photos cover the entire blanket face.
Our upper tiers print full-bleed on both faces. Different art on each side or a mirrored design, the blanket looks finished draped over a couch or folded on a shelf.
Because the color is part of the fiber, machine washing will not lift it. Screen print cracks along fold lines and vinyl edges peel; sublimated color has no edges to fail.
Wholesale runs start at 72 units and ship to all 50 states. Most projects land in a broad $30 to $90 all-in range depending on tier and quantity.
