What’s the difference between the Boost and Classic blankets?

Both our Boost and Classic blankets are made to the same level of high quality, using the same material and the same printing methods. Here’s what’s different about the two options.


– Boost blankets are printed in the USA, which means we can offer faster delivery times and the order minimum is lower.
– Classic blankets are about 25% cheaper, but they take longer to arrive and the order minimum is higher.

The Regular size blankets are the same size for both options, but the Extra Large Boost is a massive 10” longer than the Large Classic, which makes it perfect for larger athletes or king size beds!

What's the minimum order size?

– Boost: 50 blankets.
– Classic: 100 blankets.

If you need less than 50 blankets, consider opening an online store or ordering custom samples. However, if you do this, you won’t get the bulk order discounts.

Can I have more than one design in an order?

Yes, you can! You can have as many designs as you like and order some of each. However, there’s a minimum of 50 blankets per design.

Don’t forget you still need to meet the minimum order size:

- Boost: 50 blankets.
- Classic: 100 blankets.

How big are Team Throws blankets?

- Regular: 50”x60” (Boost and Classic)
- Large: 60”x70” (Classic only)
- Extra Large: 60”x80” (Boost only)

How long will my order take to arrive?

–Boost: 5-10 days
–Classic: 45-55 days

Please allow extra time for delivery around holiday periods or during severe weather.

How are my Team Throws blankets shipped to me?

Your blankets will be shipped via UPS or Fedex. You’ll get a tracking number once they have your order.

Your order will be shipped in multiple boxes. Each box will contain 12-25 blankets, weighing around 35 pounds, and will be roughly 25"x15"x13" or 19"x19"x18". Make sure you have somewhere to put it!

What if I’m not home when they try to deliver?

UPS or Fedex will normally take your order to their depot. Then we will make sure your package arrives at your address successfully.

What if it’s raining when they try to deliver?

UPS or Fedex will normally take your order to their depot if they can’t find somewhere dry to leave it. We will then ask them to redeliver it. Even if the boxes are left outside for a short time, the blankets are all wrapped in individual plastic bags so they should be fine. We’ve never had a problem with this before, but if something goes wrong, let us know and we’ll fix it.

How does payment work?

Once you’ve submitted the Blanket Order Form, you’ll be able to select your preferred payment option. You’ll also be able to download a copy of your order details and invoice.

What payment options are available?

We offer a wide range of payment options - use whichever is easiest for you!

–Pay in advance: credit/debit card, ACH Direct Debit, Bank Transfer or check
–Pay on delivery: Purchase Order

If you don’t have the funds to cover the cost of your order, how about setting up an online store or a pre-order campaign instead? See the fundraising section on the Team Throws website for more info on how this works.

Do you charge for shipping?

Nope. Shipping is already included in the price. 😁

How much should I sell my Team Throws blankets for?

That’s totally up to you. It depends how much your customers are willing to pay, and how much you want to make on each blanket. The following price ranges are typical:

–Regular: $25-35
- Large: $30-40
- Extra Large: $35-45

Depending on what option you select, you should be aiming to raise around $7-$24 from each sale. So if you order 100 blankets, you’ll be raising somewhere between $700 and $2400 for your school, team or program!

Remember, Classic blankets cost you less than Boost, so you can choose to make more per blanket or offer them at a lower price.

Will my blankets look exactly like they do on the screen?

We can’t 100% guarantee that, because different screens display colors slightly differently. And due to printing issues, slight variations in some colors can occur.

If you have a specific pantone/color that needs to be accurate, please let us know prior to production. Please keep in mind that our Free blanket sample swatches and fully custom blanket samples are printed at separate facilities and slight variations in print color can occur.

Can I change designs and quantities after I place my order?

Sorry - after designs are approved and production begins, we are unable to change design choices or quantities. However, if you place a subsequent order, you can change your design.

What’s your return/refund policy?

We know how important this is to you, and our #1 goal is to make our customers as happy as possible! If we ever make a mistake with your order, we will always make it right - whether that means re-creating your order or providing a full refund. That’s our pinky promise.

How do I order beanies?

We’re still getting the online order process for beanies into shape. For now, please check out our Beanie page on our website or email info@teamthrows.com for more details.

What’s the difference between a pre-order campaign and an online store?

Pre-orders are similar to crowdfunding, and an online store is print-on-demand.

–With a pre-order campaign, your customers pay in advance for their Team Throws blankets. When the campaign ends, we place one big order and ship everything to you, just like a regular order. You get a check at the end of the campaign.

–With an online store, customers buy individual blankets and get them shipped directly to their homes. You get a check at the conclusion of the store, or by request on a monthly basis.

Should I choose a pre-order campaign or an online store?

There are a few important things to consider before making that decision.

Pre-orders
–Pros: you can offer the full range of Team Throws Blankets. You’ll also benefit from our bulk pricing discounts so you can maximize your fundraising potential without pushing prices too high. Pre-orders are free to set up.
–Cons: you have to reach a minimum number of sales 50 blankets for Boost or 100 for Classic. Customers also have to wait for your campaign to finish before they get their blankets - and then there’s manufacturing and shipping time on top of that.

Online stores
–Pros: there’s no minimum order so you’re making money from every single sale. Items are printed and shipped directly to the customer right away so customers aren’t kept waiting.
–Cons: Online stores only offer Boost blankets. They’re also more expensive as you don’t benefit from our bulk pricing discounts. Plus it costs $50 to set up an online store.

So here’s our take on it:

If you want to maximize your fundraising profit or you want to keep the costs down for your customers, and you’re sure you can sell at least 50 blankets, a pre-order campaign would probably be best.
If you’re not confident of reaching the minimums, or you don’t want your customers to have to wait, and you don’t think your customers will mind paying a little more, you should go for the online store.

Nope, I’m still kinda confused about pre-orders and online stores…

Yeah, it can be a little confusing. Call us on 516-823-6718 during business hours (East Coast time) and we’ll walk you through it. 😁

How does a pre-order help me with fundraising?

You send customers to the pre-order page. We take their order and collect the money. This includes the cost of the blankets plus your mark-up. 5-10 days after the end of the campaign, we send you a check for your share of the money.

Example: you’re offering Regular Classic blankets for $30. The cost to you is $12.50 per blanket and $1.25 processing fee, so your mark-up is $16.25. When you’ve sold 100 blankets, we’ll place your order and send you a check for $1625.

What if people want to pay me directly for a pre-order?

We can work with that - in fact, we highly recommend doing that as well! You take their order, collect the money, and let us know. It’ll count towards your order minimum. We’ll even provide you with a free order form to make it easier for you!

How does an online store help me with fundraising?

You send customers to the store. We take their order, and collect the money. This includes the cost of the blankets plus your mark-up. At the end of each month, we send you a check for your share of the money.

Can I have both a pre-order page and an online store?

You can, but we don’t recommend it. It’s confusing for customers, and it’ll make it harder for you to hit your order minimums.

What products can I offer in a pre-order campaign or online store?

- For a Pre-Order Campaign, you can offer either Boost or Classic blankets, but not both.
- In an Online Store, you can only offer Boost blankets.

What’s the difference between the Boost and Classic blankets?

Both our Boost and Classic blankets are made to the same level of high quality, using the same material and the same printing methods. Here’s what’s different about the two options.

- Boost blankets are made in the USA, which means we can offer faster delivery times and the order minimum is lower.
- Classic blankets are about 25% cheaper, but they take longer to arrive and the order minimum is higher.

The Regular size blankets are the same size for both options, but the Extra Large Boost is a massive 10” longer than the Large Classic, which makes it perfect for larger athletes or king size beds!

Can I sell beanies in a pre-order campaign or online store?

Sorry, not yet. We’re working on it!

What’s the minimum order size?

Online stores are print-on-demand, so there’s no minimum!

For a pre-order, it’s exactly the same as placing a regular order, and it depends on the type of blankets you select.

- Boost: 50 blankets.
- Classic: 100 blankets.

How much should I sell my Team Throws blankets for?

That’s totally up to you. It depends how much families at your school are willing to pay, and how much you want to make on each blanket. The following price ranges are typical for regular orders or pre-orders:

What does it cost to set up a pre-order page or online store?

- Pre-order pages are completely free.
- Online stores cost $50.

How long does it take to set up my pre-order page or online store?

What do I need to do after submitting the form?

Give us a few days to build your page or store. When it’s ready, we’ll email you the link, a unique QR code, and a set of useful images for spreading the word.

Then it’s over to you - get out there and sell, sell, sell!

How do I make changes to my pre-order page or online store?

Email us, tell us what changes you want to make, and we’ll take care of it as quickly as we can.  If we’re not busy, we can often have it updated within an hour.

Do pre-order campaigns expire?

Yes. An expiration date gives people an incentive to place an order before the fundraiser closes, and means your early buyers aren’t waiting too long. You can always get us to extend it if you need more time.

Can we go over the minimum with a pre-order?

Absolutely - this is what we all want to happen! Just keep taking orders until your campaign closes and make as many sales as you can!

What happens to a pre-order if we don’t hit the minimum in time?

Talk to us, and we’ll see what we can do. We typically suggest three options:

1. Extend your campaign to give people more time.
2. Use your profits or pay cash to make up the difference and hit the minimums.
3. Refund everyone’s money and try a different approach.

Can I find out who’s made a purchase?

Yes! We will send you a customer list on request or when your pre-order campaign or online store finishes.

If your online store is ongoing, we will send a customer list on a monthly basis per request.

What type of sample should I choose?

It depends what you want to use it for and whether you want to spend money at this stage.

–10"x10" Swatches are ideal for checking out the feel of the Classic blanket material and print quality - and they’re completely free!
–Fully Custom Sample blankets are the best choice if you want to see what a Boost blanket design is actually going to look like when it’s printed. They’re also a great way to get people excited about your fundraiser!

Can I get a sample blanket in a larger size?

Sorry, we can only offer sample blankets in Regular size (50”x60”) due to manufacturing constraints.

How long do samples take to arrive?

Normally 5-10 days, but please allow extra time around holiday periods or during severe weather.

Do you charge shipping for samples?

Nope. That’s on us.

Do you offer beanie samples?

Yes, we do - sort of! The samples are 50% thinner than the production versions, but they’ll give you an idea of what they’re like. If you want a free sample beanie, please email info@teamthrows.com for more details.

How many samples can I get?

- Swatches and beanies: one per customer.
- Custom blanket samples: no limit! ($30 per sample)

Can I get around the minimum order size by just buying sample blankets?

Yes, you can. But you’re limited to Regular size blankets and they are a lot more expensive that way. You’re better off setting up an online store.

2. Select the button Request Design Revisions Now and choose the designs you want to revise.
