Private label throw blankets carry your hotel’s name instead of ours. We make them to your spec, and your guests only ever see your brand.
We’ll walk through fabric, branding, minimum orders and the Canadian labelling rules you need to know before you place a bulk order.
What private label throw blankets are
With private label, you pick the fabric, colour, size, trim and packaging. We source the material, run production, check every batch and sew your label in before anything ships.
Compare that with a wholesale catalogue throw. The hotel down the street can order the exact same one next week.
Why boutique and luxury hotels go private label
Guests in a boutique hotel notice small things, like whether the throw on the bed matches the cushions on the chair. When it’s in your house colour with your name on the tag, the room feels finished.
There’s a revenue angle too. Plenty of hotels sell the same throw at the front desk or on their website, and guests who loved the room buy one to take home.
Private label vs custom vs stock
| Option | What you control | Pick it if |
|---|---|---|
| Stock wholesale | Quantity only | You need throws fast and branding doesn’t matter |
| Custom | Size, fabric and colour | Your rooms need a size or fabric nobody stocks |
| Private label | Spec, branding and packaging | You want a throw that only your guests will see |
Choosing materials for private label throw blankets
A throw that feels lovely at the sample stage can come back from its tenth hot wash thinner, fuzzier and a shade lighter. So judge fabric by how it handles your laundry, whether that’s in-house or an outside service.
Common fabrics compared
| Fabric | Feel and look | In a hotel or rental |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton (knit, waffle or woven) | Breathable and natural | Washes well; ask for pre-shrunk fabric |
| Acrylic | Soft, wool-like, holds bright colours | Low cost and colourfast, but pills with time |
| Wool or wool blend | Warm and textured | Looks expensive; needs a gentler cycle |
| Polyester fleece or sherpa | Plush | Tough and dries fast, but runs warm |
We recommend cotton or a wool blend for boutique and luxury rooms. Rental operators washing after every checkout get better value from acrylic or fleece.
Size, weight and edges
Most throws are about 50 by 60 inches. That’s enough to fold across the foot of a queen bed or drape over an armchair, but a king bed or a deep lounge sofa looks better with something bigger.
Ask for the fabric weight on every quote. Heavier feels richer in the hand, though your laundry bill goes up with every extra minute in the dryer.
Skip loose fringe. It knots in commercial machines, and housekeeping ends up trimming it.
Safety and certification
Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified, which means they’re tested for harmful substances. We’ll send the certificates for your compliance file.
Got your own fire safety requirements? Put them in your spec before we sample. Our blankets and throws range is a good place to start building that spec.
Branding options for private label throw blankets
Luxury properties tend to brand quietly, with a small tag that guests find when they pick the throw up. A family resort or rental brand can afford to be louder.
| Method | What guests see | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Woven label | A small sewn-in tag with your name | Upscale rooms where less is more |
| Embroidery | Your logo stitched into one corner | Resorts and brands that want recognition |
| Custom colour | Fabric dyed to match your palette | Rooms built around a specific colour scheme |
| Retail packaging | A branded band, bag or box with a barcode | Gift shops and online stores |
Keeping reorders consistent
Getting the first shipment right is easy for most suppliers. Trouble tends to show up on the third or fourth order, when the grey is slightly off and housekeeping has to sort throws by shade.
We avoid that by keeping your approved spec on file: colour, size, trim and barcode. When you reorder in two years, we make it to the same record.
How bulk sourcing works for private label throw blankets
If you’re timing an order around a soft opening or a room refresh, these are the steps to plan for.
The sourcing process
- Send us your brief. Fabric, size, colours, branding, packaging and rough quantities are enough to start.
- Get a quote. We come back with bulk pricing, your minimum order and a production timeline.
- Test the samples. Put them through your own laundry a few times. A throw can feel great on day one and look tired after 15 washes.
- Sign off the spec. We lock in colour, size and label details and keep them on file.
- Production. Your run is made to order, and we confirm a firm delivery date before accepting it.
- Delivery. We ship from whichever warehouse is closest to you. Regular reorders can go on a fixed schedule.
Minimum order quantities
Private label minimums sit higher than stocked items because we’re setting up a run just for you. They’re still flexible enough that a single boutique hotel can trial a range before rolling it out to the whole group.
Your exact number depends on fabric and branding. Request a quote with your quantities and we’ll tell you.
Canadian labelling rules
Selling throws in a lobby shop or online? Then the Textile Labelling Act applies, and each label must show:
- Fibre content as percentages, in English and French
- Your business name and postal address, or a CA identification number
A CA number saves you printing your full address on every tag. Canadian companies that make, import or sell textiles can apply for one through the Competition Bureau.
Private label throw blankets by business type
A throw that’s perfect for a 20-room boutique hotel would be the wrong buy for a rental company turning over units every weekend.
Boutique and luxury hotels
Start with feel and colour. Cotton or a wool blend in your house colour, with a small woven label, suits most boutique rooms. If you have a gift shop, order the retail-packed version in the same run so the two match exactly.
Vacation rentals and Airbnb
Here the throw goes through the wash after every guest, often in a domestic machine. Acrylic or fleece in a darker shade hides wear and dries quickly between bookings.
It also shows up in your listing photos. When every unit has the same branded throw, a 30-unit portfolio looks like one company rather than 30 different hosts.
Retailers and bedding stores
Shelf appeal matters most to you, so plan retail packaging, barcodes and bilingual labels into the first order. Launch two or three colours, see what moves, and reorder the winners.
Serving Toronto and across Canada
We supply hotels, rental operators and retailers in Toronto, Mississauga, Vancouver and Montreal, along with buyers across the rest of Canada. Stocked items go out from our warehouses in Canada and the United States, which keeps freight costs and wait times down.
Ordering for Montreal or anywhere else in Quebec? Plan for French on the packaging, not only on the fibre label, because Quebec has its own language rules for products sold there.

Private label throw blankets FAQs
How long does a private label order take?
It depends on the fabric, branding and quantity. We give you a firm delivery date before we accept the order, so you can plan around it. Stocked items ship within a few business days.
Can I order a small quantity to start?
Yes. Private label minimums are higher than for stocked lines, but they’re set low enough to trial a range. Once you know which colours your guests like, scale up.
Can you match a throw we already use?
In most cases, yes. Send a sample or your spec sheet and we’ll match the fabric, size, colour and finish as closely as the material allows.
Can I get samples before a bulk order?
Yes, and we’d encourage it. Run them through your laundry a few times and see how the colour and shape hold up.
Do in-room throws need Canadian textile labels?
The Textile Labelling Act covers textiles sold to consumers, so throws that only stay in guest rooms may fall outside it. Once you sell them in a gift shop or online, every unit needs a compliant label.
Do you ship to the United States?
Yes. We hold stock in warehouses on both sides of the border
