INSPIRE CREATIVITY IN YOUR APPAREL DECORATING BUSINESS!

New Year, New Goals!

How Jacquard Woven Blankets Inspire Creativity in Your Apparel Decorating Business

Are you among the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people that make a New Year’s resolution? Perhaps in 2025, you’ve set some personal goals that your resolution pertains to. In order to ensure you are part of the estimated 9% that keep their resolutions, you may have even defined smaller action items to help you stay on track.

The flip of the calendar to 2025 inspired many to make changes, and when it comes to your apparel decorating business, change can be a good thing. But rather than setting a big, all-encompassing resolution you can’t keep, your business should be focused on goals: big goals that are broken up into small steps, small goals that are realistic, and even external goals to bring your customers something new and exciting this year.

One of the most important things you can do going into a new year as an apparel decorating business is look for new items to bring to the table. Bandanna Promotions by Caro-Line has set its focus on that theme this year, with exciting new items apparel decorators should consider. Among their offerings this year is something that may have previously been off the radar: jacquard woven blankets. While the competition might only stick with T-shirts (which should always be among your staple items), Bandanna Promotions is bringing American Blankets by Caro-Line front and center as a way to refresh your new year’s offerings.

Quality Meets Innovation

While your customers are on the hunt for something new, there is one tried-and-true mindset they will always have: quality.

The expectation of high-quality decorated apparel is nothing new, but the addition of these premium jacquard woven blankets is. As its third made-in-America line, American Blankets by Caro-Line knows how to meet the expectation of quality while refreshing a product offering.

The company works with a local North Carolina manufacturer to bring the woven blankets to decorators looking to capitalize on their customers’ unique branding and gifting needs. The 100% cotton is a blend of organic and recycled, also setting it up as a sustainable option for the eco-friendly buyers of 2025. Here are some other features you can highlight when showing them to your customers:

· Breathable yet cozy woven construction

· Custom edge-to-edge image can be achieved – this is a woven design, not a surface print

· Custom and full-color options

· Machine washable

· High durability – can be thrown in the washer and dryer without worry of fading or shrinking

There are three standard sizes available (54×72”, 50×60”, and 60×80”) to meet every unique branding and gifting need. Couple that with the low 10-piece minimum order quantity, and it will be hard for your customers to ignore this new product lineup!

Why Blankets Fit Your Business Model

The jacquard woven blanket certainly is an eye-catcher, but many apparel decorators may be asking themselves how it fits within the services and products they already offer. In a business model that traditionally prints apparel blanks, how are blankets a natural product extension?

As a branding tool, items in the American Blankets by Caro-Line lineup offer an additional way to break into the promotional products market without adding more equipment or production processes. The in-house artists have making blankets down to a science. They will work directly with you so that a single detail of this perfect branding item won’t be missed.

Whether your clients prefer the understated elegance of a small logo design or the bold statement of the full logo version, the blankets offer 100% customization. They provide a unique platform for your client to display their brand identity, promote their business, or create unforgettable gifts for customers and employees.

Speaking of gifting, these blankets don’t just have to be used for branding. As the popularity of custom products exploded over the last five years, the need to give something unique became higher. And while the traditional T-shirt will always be a gift go-to, elevating your customers’ gifting strategies is as easy as partnering with Bandanna Promotions.

To top it off, these items are available with an eight-day turnaround, which also helps those impatient or procrastinating customers get their gifts quickly. The company provides art templates to help you design the perfect custom gift blanket. Using the exact specifications provided, you can ensure your customer’s happiness without having to purchase more equipment, hire additional employees, or control an additional production process.

This is one New Year’s resolution that should be kept. Don’t sit back and let your customers find new products from someone else. Be the unique branding and gift item provider along with the trusted apparel decorator.
