Common questions
GSM, NubaySoft 2.0 microfiber, durability, samples, and ordering, answered straight.
GSM is grams per square meter: the weight of fabric in the blanket. It is the single best quick measure of blanket quality, because weight is what you feel as plushness, drape, and warmth. Mass-market fleece blankets run about 200 to 300 GSM. Our NubaySoft 2.0 line runs 400 to 1060 GSM, so even our entry tier is heavier than the typical 'premium' fleece.
NubaySoft 2.0 is the second generation of our proprietary plush microfiber, developed and manufactured exclusively for Spectator Sport USA. It is a dense-pile fabric engineered for hand-feel and durability: it does not shed lint, does not pill into fuzzy bobbles, and carries photo-realistic printing without stiffening.
No. Pilling and shedding are what happens to loose, low-density fleece fibers under friction and washing. NubaySoft 2.0 uses a dense microfiber pile that holds its surface, so the blanket keeps its day-one feel through years of regular laundering.
The fabric is built for a 20+ year service life with normal home use and washing. These are keepsake-grade blankets, not event souvenirs, which is why families tend to keep and use them for decades.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Because the pile is dense microfiber rather than loose fleece, it comes out of the wash without pilling, shedding, or losing its softness.
Across the line, finished custom blankets land in a broad $30 to $90 all-in range depending on the fabric tier and quantity. At the volume end, our Lite Plus tier runs as low as $30.98 per blanket at 500+ pieces. For exact pricing on your quantity and tier, request a quote and we will respond within one business day.
Wholesale orders start at 72 units. If you are a school or group that wants blankets without buying inventory upfront, a presale fundraiser through FundraiserBlanket.com has no minimum to you, because your community orders individually and we only produce what sells.

We publish a full side-by-side comparison covering weight, feel, durability, and print quality at spectatorsport.com/learn/blanket-comparison. The short version: typical fleece is 200 to 300 GSM and prone to pilling; woven blankets are durable but coarse; NubaySoft 2.0 gives you 400 to 1060 GSM of dense plush pile with photo-realistic printing.
Yes. Every blanket is fully custom: your logo, artwork, mascot, or photo printed in photo-realistic detail on a generous 60x80 inch blanket. Our design team produces a free mockup within 48 hours, and nothing goes to production until you approve it.
