Custom Creations Unlimited, Inc. is a family owned business located in western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Wheaton to be exact. It all started when our son was born in 1997, we wanted to send out a personalized birth announcement as unique and beautiful as our new baby boy. We found our options were either too expensive, too slow or too ‘cookie cutter’. We ended up creating and printing our own. Two months later, we set out to provide the product and the service we couldn’t find.
Since that day, we’ve grown beyond our wildest dreams. We still print many personalized invitations and announcements but our personalized gifts have just taken off. Our Photo Blankets and Photo Towels have been the gift of choice for so many customers, especially during the winter holidays.
I was sent two blankets to review so I can see what they look like and the details up close and personal. They weren’t with any of my pictures because it takes a little while for custom orders and we needed to get this promotion out to you all before Christmas!
One of Custom Creations is the Fleece blanket;
Now this is beautiful and just so life-like. The picture is clear as you can see and just wonderful quality all around.
Our Fleece Photo Blanket is made from polar tec fleece and is noticeably thicker than the typical fleece photo blanket you’ll find. However, it is not a thick snuggly blanket like our Knitted and Woven Photo Blankets are. Its strength is in the fabulous detail of the image. The detail in our Fleece Photo Blanket simply does not compare to any woven or knitted blanket (including ours)! Looking for a thicker fleece blanket, see our Sweatshirt Fleece Photo Blanket or Double Layer Fleece Photo Blanket.
The details of this blanket is just unreal and it’s sure to please. Very durable indeed!
The Fleece blankets are made in the USA.
Why our Fleece Photo Blankets?
- EXCLUSIVE – Free Proof prior to production
- Free Personalization
- Collage blankets at no extra charge
- Tight quality control at every step of production
- Printed in the U.S.A.
Custom Creations takes great pride in the outcome of your blanket, when you order one they work with you and make sure you’re happy. Once you receive it, you will be amazed at just how beautiful it really is.
The next option is Custom Creations Woven Photo Blankets;
Now the finished outcome on this blanket is my absolute favorite because I just love how it looks, and feels.
This blanket with your photo is just breathtaking beautiful!
Your Cotton Color Photo Blanket is woven from four miles and over three pounds of 100% natural Cotton. The weaving process results in the fringe on the sides and nothing is softer than natural Cotton. Because your photo is woven into the blanket, not screen printed or ironed on, it will never peel or flake off.
Why our Woven Photo Blankets?
Our craftsman (and craftswomen) match the colors in your photograph to our extensive selection of pre-dyed Cotton to create a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art. Along with our smaller yarn size, this allows our Photo Blankets to be more vibrant and detailed than our competitors. What else?
- EXCLUSIVE – Free Proof prior to production
- Free Personalization
- 100% Cotton yarn, not a poly blend
- Smaller yarn size, resulting in greater detail
- Tight quality control at every step of production
- 100% American Made
You know what I really want to do? I want to watch someone make a blanket like this, I think it would really bring meaning into how something like this is made and the perfect touch.
Custom Creations obviously takes great pride in their work and really want to give you, or someone you love a beautiful memory that will last an absolute life-time. You can hand it down and keep this beautiful blanket in the family for many years to come.
