Two product types per ship
Most cruise lines run two blanket SKUs per ship: a deck throw (used on lounger chairs, returned to a deck steward) and a cabin amenity blanket (provided in passenger cabins, often replaced after each voyage). The two have different specs and laundering protocols.
Deck throws need to be heavier (320–380 GSM), salt-tolerant, and recover from outdoor exposure. We use solution-dyed polyester so the color won't fade in sun. Edges are double-folded and bar-tacked at the corners — they get washed every voyage, sometimes twice.
Cabin amenity blankets are lighter (240–280 GSM) and more about hand-feel and presentation. Often embroidered with the ship name or line crest in a corner. Some lines fold them with a wrap-paper band that carries the welcome message.
