Description
The Alpine Fleece LB8711 is a 100% polyester anti-pill fleece blanket measuring 50 by 60 inches, positioned as a value-tier blank for embroidered corporate gifts, fundraiser programs, school spirit items, and promotional giveaways where a decorated fleece blanket needs to ship at the lowest possible per-unit cost. The anti-pill finish keeps the fleece surface smooth through repeated washing, which matters when the blanket carries an embroidered logo that needs to stay readable after use.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method on the LB8711. The fleece surface carries a corner monogram, crest, or logo on a stable hoop with a cut-away backing and water-soluble topping to prevent stitches from sinking into the pile. DTF transfers bond to the 100% polyester face and deliver full-color artwork on the flat blanket field. Pre-press to flatten the fleece nap before laying the transfer. Heat transfer vinyl applies with firm pressure on the flat surface. Screen printing works on the flat fleece face, but the lofted nap reduces ink holdout, so use a thicker ink deposit. Sublimation is possible on white and light polyester blankets since the fabric is 100% poly, but dyed dark colors block sublimation ink.
