How Your Printed Throws are Made

Handmade to order using the finest fabrics and inks, your specialist printed throws are long lasting and a timeless home furnishing. Your designs are printed onto the plush velvet face (450gsm), which is then sewn onto warm, soft Sherpa fleece (200gsm) for a thick, double layer. We use dye sublimation so the inks are fused deep into the fibres of the fabric, so your design won't fade, peel away or scratch off. The hems are neatly sewn, providing a seamless finish. The throws come with a 10 year money back guarantee on print & material.

Care Instructions

Sherpa fleece by nature is water repellent, and plush velvet is a fabric that needs a little pampering. After machine washing at 30°c and tumble drying on low, give the velvet face a brush to keep the fibres nice and soft. Do this every few washes when you feel the fibres stiffening slightly.

Design Tips

Printed edge to edge in full colour, you can choose between 145 cm sq and 145 x 198 cm to fill with your unique designs, patterns or artwork. For commercial purposes, you can centralise your logo, or choose the Repeat Pattern option in the design interface for all over branding. The print on plush velvet is bold and clear, and despite the thick, fluffy pile, the print is distorted or affected in anyway. This means you can choose designs with intricate detailing as they'll still show exceptionally well.

Frequently asked questions:

What is Sherpa fleece?

Sherpa fleece is a beautifully soft, thick and warm polyester fleece. One side has a smooth finish, whilst the other side is shaggy and resembles the coat of a sheep.

Will it cover my sofa?

These are perfect throws for sofas as they're so large at 145cm sq. They will almost cover a large single bed, so can be used as an extra blanket in the colder months.

Are my designs printed all over?

Your designs are printed onto the gorgeous plush velvet face, which is stitched to the Sherpa fleece. Full colour dye sublimation means your print won't fade over time.

Print Guideline

What's the best resolution to print in?

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

If each individual colour is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each colour with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colours within the image is more important then choose RGB, this will reduce all colours equally to fit within our range.
What does GSM mean?

Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).
What are bleed areas?

When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.

Do you print on garments a customer supplies?

Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric and sewn into finished products, which gives a better-finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.
Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?

We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which is close enough for most patterns but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.
Can I print my own Labels?

Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding. If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.

Please note: All the products we provide are handmade to order and so there may be slight variations in all the measurements.
