Snuggle Up with Your Favorite Photos
New Photo Collage Feature for Blankets Added To Printable Memories Website
If you had to choose your very favorite family photo, which would it be? Can’t make up your mind? What if you could pick nine favorites?
A photo on a coffee mug is nothing new, and a collage of family photos on the wall has been a favorite tradition for years. Now an entrepreneur in Oakland, Calif., has designed a new online service to create a photo collage on a woven or fleece blanket. PrintableMemories.com will produce for you a professionally designed photo collage on a beautifully customized blanket.
Simply choose a blanket size and fabric from the options on the website, then select a background color, and upload your images to the PrintableMemories.com website. As many as nine photos can be used for the collage, and instructions for uploading them to the website are clear and concise. You can even add text to the design – perhaps a Father’s Day message, birthday greetings, or anniversary wishes. Choose the style for your text message, and in just minutes your custom photo collage blanket is set up. A professional designer will format it for you.
Blankets don’t respond well to screen printing – the printing process changes the surface of the fabric, and inks on blankets don’t survive well. But PrintableMemories.com has the solution. Their sublimation dye process transfers photo images to the blanket fabric itself, dyeing the fabric fibers to create vivid and long-lasting images while maintaining the soft original texture of the blanket.
A collection of favorite family photos, baby pictures, wedding portraits, or photos of a family reunion can make for a truly special gift. Trophy photos from a basketball tournament make for a perfect dorm blanket. Snuggle up on a cool summer evening with a fleece blanket featuring your favorite fishing photos.
Your treasured moments in photographs can be preserved as a special and professionally designed collage on a premium quality jersey fleece blanket. Polar fleece and woven cotton blankets are also available on the PrintableMemories.com website.
