What does a blanket cost to make?

About $15.80 for a Fleece Blanket 50x60 in printed and shipped to a US buyer, the cheapest supplier price in our catalog. A fleece blanket is big and heavy for a print-on-demand product, so the blank and its shipping cost more than most items.

Add a second print side, inserts or gift wrap to that cost if you offer them.

How much do Etsy fees take from a blanket sale?

At $21.99 plus $4.99 shipping, Etsy takes $3.01, 11.2% of what the buyer pays: the $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee and 3% + $0.25 payment processing, on price plus shipping.

Etsy and Amazon bring buyers who are already searching; a Shopify store needs its own traffic. See Etsy vs Amazon and Etsy vs Shopify.

How can you charge more than the market for a blanket?

Sell to a niche: a design for a clearly named buyer (a job, a hobby, a family role) competes on the design, not on price.

  • Personalize: a name, date or photo is harder to compare on price.
  • Sell two: a small discount on a second item spreads the fees.
  • Price for the season: gift buyers care about design and delivery date.
  • Show it well: clear mockups and real photos hold a higher price.

Why do blankets need a higher price than mugs or t-shirts?

The cost is higher, so the same margin needs a higher price, and the fee on a bigger order is bigger too. A blanket priced like a t-shirt loses money.

Photo blankets and personalized family blankets are bought as gifts, which supports the higher price. They sell best before the winter holidays, Mother's Day and Father's Day; see the seasonal prices.
