What a wholesale fleece RFQ should define
A useful bulk fleece blanket RFQ converts the end use into measurable requirements. Define the construction, nominal weight, finished dimensions, edge, branding, packaging, quantity and delivery destination so quotations and samples can be compared on the same basis.
Compare fleece constructions
- Polar fleece: compare surface, weight, stretch, pilling result, edge finish and color against the intended use.
- Coral fleece: assess pile, density, shedding, hand feel, laundering result and dimensional stability on a sample.
- Micromink or flannel fleece: define the face appearance, print or color requirement, reverse construction and care method.
- Sherpa-lined or double-faced: specify both layers, bonding or seam construction, total weight, edge treatment and finished dimensions.
Not sure which weight fits your budget and use case? See our buyer's guide to choosing fleece weight (GSM) for a throw blanket program, and the fleece vs woven vs cotton-blend comparison.
Build a comparable quotation request
Request quantity tiers against one unchanged specification and ask for separate line items for sampling, decoration, labels, packaging, testing and freight terms. Include the delivery destination and required date. For additional planning context, read quantity and pricing planning and lower-volume sourcing considerations.
Branding and finish decisions
Candidate decoration methods include embroidery, woven labels, sublimation and screen print. Edge choices may include binding, stitching or a construction-specific finish. Record artwork, dimensions, placement, color references and acceptance criteria, then approve the result on a physical sample. Compare the trade-offs in custom blanket decoration methods.
