Dog blanket sublimation blanks — and a higher-repeat alternative
Dog blanket sublimation blanks make great mockups but ship expensively, only sell once per dog, and never leave the house. Here's the honest read, plus a blank with higher repeat purchase.
AI summary
Dog blanket sublimation blanks are large plush or fleece polyester blanks designed for full-coverage dye-sublimation. They photograph well, but the unit economics suffer: bulky shipping, low repeat purchase (one per dog), and no public visibility once delivered. Lead Sleeve manufactures the Lead Sleeve — a small, public-facing, repeat-purchase pet blank shipped in a letterbox mailer.

The honest state of dog blanket blanks
Blankets are a beautiful product for one occasion — memorial, new puppy, Christmas. But owners typically buy one per dog and don't come back. Shipping is bulky, margin is eaten by courier costs, and once it's delivered no future customers see it.
A higher-repeat alternative
The Lead Sleeve. Same gift buyer, but designed for repeat purchase: owners want different designs for Christmas, charity walks, holidays and memorials. And it's seen on every walk, which drives word-of-mouth that blankets cannot.
