Custom Blankets & Bags Technical Specs Guide

Specs That Matter for Wholesale Orders

When procurement teams specify custom textile products for wholesale or corporate programs, the details matter. A 10 GSM difference in blanket fabric weight changes the warmth rating and the price. A shift from screen printing to sublimation changes the minimum order quantity feasibility and the achievable design complexity. galinkltd.com publishes this technical guide so buyers can enter a conversation with a clear specification brief — reducing back-and-forth, accelerating sample timelines, and ensuring the final product matches the brief.

galinkltd.com's blanket and bag program is anchored by four operational differentiators that complement its technical depth:

MOQ 50 — Wholesale Minimums Without the Barrier

Standard textile factory minimums of 500–1,000 units per SKU put wholesale-quality custom blankets and bags out of reach for smaller buyers, pilot programs, and multi-design corporate orders. galinkltd.com sets its minimum at 50 units per SKU — enabling procurement at genuine wholesale quality without requiring container-load commitments. This applies across all blanket types (Sherpa, flannel, fleece, throw) and all bag types (tote, canvas, drawstring).

GRS & Sedex — Certified Quality You Can Trust

Certifications matter in B2B textile procurement for two reasons: compliance and credibility. galinkltd.com's manufacturing partners carry GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and Sedex certifications, providing:

• GRS: Third-party verified recycled content with full chain-of-custody documentation — essential for brands making sustainability claims.
• Sedex (SMETA): Independent audit covering four pillars: labor standards, health and safety, environment, and business ethics.

Buyers in retail, hospitality, and corporate procurement can request audit documentation directly from the account team to satisfy internal compliance requirements.

One-Stop Range — Blankets + Bags, Single Factory, Single PO

Buying blankets from one supplier and bags from another introduces duplicate procurement overhead: two POs, two lead times to manage, two sets of QC reports, two shipments to receive. galinkltd.com's one-stop model means a buyer can spec a custom blanket program and a custom bag program under a single purchase order, with coordinated production scheduling, combined QC inspection, and consolidated freight.

This is particularly valuable for buyers managing gift set programs (blanket + tote bag bundled), corporate welcome kits, or multi-category retail launches.

20-Day Lead Time — From Spec Sheet to Shipped

A 45–60 day lead time is standard industry practice for custom textile production — but it creates problems for buyers with compressed campaign timelines, seasonal windows, or reorder needs. galinkltd.com targets a 20-day production lead time after sample approval, enabling buyers to respond to confirmed demand rather than having to forecast months ahead.

Sample lead time: 7–14 days. Schedule confirmation provided at RFQ stage.

Blanket Technical Specifications

Fabric Types (Fleece, Woven, Knitted)

Custom blankets fall into three primary fabric construction categories:

Key buyer question: Are you specifying for a lightweight portable blanket (fleece, 150–180 GSM) or a heavy-warm statement piece (Sherpa/woven, 300+ GSM)? The answer determines both cost and lead time.

GSM & Weight

GSM (grams per square meter) is the primary metric for blanket weight classification. Higher GSM means heavier, warmer, and typically higher cost — but also higher perceived value.

For reference:

• 150–200 GSM: Light fleece — summer-weight, portable, foldable. Common for promo and kids.
• 200–280 GSM: Mid-weight — year-round use, corporate gifts, outdoor events.
• 280–400 GSM: Heavy-weight — premium retail, hotel/resort, Sherpa and woven categories.

galinkltd.com's account team provides GSM verification documentation and can supply fabric swatches prior to bulk order confirmation.

Size & Tolerance Standards

Blanket size tolerances matter for two reasons: fit (for branded cases or packaging) and consumer expectation. Industry standard tolerance is ±3% on dimensions. Common sizes:

• Throw blanket: 50" × 60" (127 × 152 cm) — most common corporate gift size
• Full/Queen: 60" × 80" (152 × 203 cm) — retail and hospitality
• King: 90" × 108" (228 × 274 cm) — premium/hospitality
• Custom sizes available on request for OEM/ODM orders

Printing Methods (Screen, Dye-Sub, Embroidery)

For custom printed blankets, galinkltd.com's team recommends the optimal method based on artwork complexity, fabric type, quantity, and budget.

Bag Technical Specifications

Fabric Types (Canvas, Non-Woven, Polyester)

Custom bags span several fabric categories, each with distinct cost, durability, and decoration profiles:

GSM & Construction

Bag fabric weight is typically measured in denier (D) for woven polyester or GSM for canvas/non-woven materials. Higher denier = heavier, more durable.

• Non-woven 80–100 GSM: Single-use or limited-use promo bags — lightweight, low cost.
• Canvas 200–400 GSM: Durable, reusable — the sweet spot for trade show and corporate gift bags. See custom canvas bags.
• 600D–1200D polyester: Heavy-duty bags for gym, travel, and equipment — highly durable, water-resistant.

galinkltd.com specifies construction details including stitch count per inch, seam reinforcement, and handle attachment method (sewn vs. heat-sealed vs. riveted) in its tech packs.

Printing Methods (Screen, Heat-Transfer, Sublimation)

For custom tote bags, screen printing is the most cost-effective method for standard logo placement. For full-coverage patterns on polyester tote bags, sublimation is the preferred method.
