Description
The Alpine Fleece 8700 is a 50 x 60 inch anti-pill fleece throw blanket built as a decoration blank for embroidery and heat-applied transfer programs. The fabric is 100% polyester at roughly 260 g/sqm (about 7.7 oz/yd2) with a matching whipstitched edge and a non-branded label, so it ships ready to brand for sports teams, school fundraisers, corporate gifting, alumni and donor programs, and event giveaways. The anti-pill finish keeps the face clean through repeated washing, which matters when a logo blanket has to look right months after the order ships.
For embroidery, the 8700 is the primary decoration route. A 50 x 60 fleece blanket has no structural seams to fight, so a corner monogram or a centered crest stitches cleanly with a cut-away backing and a topping film to stop the fleece nap from swallowing fine detail. Keep stitch density moderate; dense fill on polyester fleece can pucker the nap and read heavy. For DTF and heat transfers, polyester fleece bonds well with low-temperature DTF films. The 100% polyester content carries scorch and dye-migration risk, so press at the lowest effective temperature, use a Teflon or parchment cover sheet to protect the nap, and finish with a cool peel where the film allows. The pile means fine lines and small text break up, so size artwork bold and keep line weights heavy. Direct screen printing on the fleece pile is impractical because the nap will not hold a sharp ink edge, so route flat-art jobs to DTF instead. Applique and embroidered patches are a strong alternative for large logos that would be stitch-heavy as direct embroidery. Sublimation is not a fit on a coloured fleece blanket, because full sublimation needs white polyester and the 8700 ships in dyed colours.

Decoration Method Compatibility
How this blank performs across popular decoration methods.
| Method | Compatible | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | ✓ | Primary method; corner monogram or centered crest stitches cleanly with cut-away backing and topping film. Keep density moderate so the polyester fleece nap does not pucker |
| Applique / Patch | ✓ | Strong route for large logos that would be stitch-heavy as direct embroidery; embroidered patches heat-press or stitch to the fleece face |
| DTF Transfer | ✓ | Polyester fleece bonds with low-temperature DTF films; press at the lowest effective temp, use a cover sheet to protect the nap, cool peel where the film allows |
| Heat Transfer / HTV | ✓ | Works on the fleece face with a Teflon cover sheet; size artwork bold because the pile breaks up fine lines and small text |
| Screen Print | ✗ | Direct screen printing on fleece pile is impractical; the nap will not hold a sharp ink edge. Route flat-art jobs to DTF |
| DTG | ✗ | DTG needs a flat cotton or cotton-rich face; not viable on 100% polyester fleece pile |
| Sublimation | ✗ | Full sublimation requires white polyester; the 8700 ships in dyed colours, so sublimation is not a fit |
