Step 1: Pick Your Photos

• We suggest approximately twelve (12) photographs (the more pictures added, the less detail of the individual pictures will be seen within the TreasureKnit.
• Ensure all photos are cropped so that the main subject composes most of the overall image.

Step 2:Designing the collage

• Local photofinishing stores, FedEx/Kinkos, UPSMailboxes, or even a graphic designer can scan photographs for the collage. Scanning fees range from $6.95-$14.95 per scan
• If unfamiliar with photo/imaging editing software, we strongly suggest you work with a local graphic designer to help design your collage (placing your photos creatively!)
• The person scanning your photos could also help design your final collage image (click here to print instructions to give to the designer). Expect design time to take a minimum of 15-30 minutes. .

Step 3:Preparing the Collaged Image (Final File Requirements

• Aspect Ratios. Take the dimensions of the product you will be purchasing, divide by 10, and crop to the aspect ratio size. Adjust for Landscape or Portrait (i.e. the Large TreasureKnit Color Blanket is 50x60, thus ratio is 5:6)
• File Type must be JPEG file (*.jpg)
• File Size should be no larger than 2MB

  Using Original Prints (Scanning Requirements)

  • Scan all prints at 300 dpi
  • Only scans from traditional photopaper are acceptable. Scans reproduced from inkjet or bubble jet printer/copiers cannot be used.
  • Ensure your photos fit into a final collaged image with the appropriate aspect ratio for the blanket size you have chosen. Take the dimensions of the product you will be purchasing, divide by 10, and crop to the aspect ratio size. Adjust for Landscape or Portrait (i.e. the large TreasureKnit Color Blanket is 50x60, thus ratio is 5:6)

  Using Electronic Digital Pictures (i.e. from your computer/camera/CD)

  • Ensure your photos fit into a final collaged image with the appropriate aspect ratio for the blanket size you have chosen. Take the dimensions of the product you will be purchasing, divide by 10, and crop to the aspect ratio size. Adjust for Landscape or Portrait (i.e. the large TreasureKnit Color Blanket is 50x60, thus ratio is 5:6)

  Advanced Users (Professional Photographers / Graphic Designers)

  • Photo vs Image. We accept photo images, drawn images, logos, etc.
  • Matching Colors. Do not be concerned with matching color profiles as our technology does not see this information. TreasureKnits simulate shades of basic colors.
  • Orientation. Your TreasureKnit will be manufactured in an orientation solely dependent on the orientation of the subject in the image sent. If your photograph is in landscape (horizontal) orientation, your TreasureKnit will be made in landscape (horizontal) orientation. If your photograph is in portrait (vertical) orientation, your TreasureKnit will be made in portrait (vertical) orientation
  • Aspect Ratios. Take the dimensions of the product you will be purchasing, divide by 10, and crop to the aspect ratio size. Adjust for Landscape or Portrait (i.e. the TreasureKnit Color Blanket is 50x60, thus ratio is 5:6)
