The Information Blanket
is a very cool project conceived and produced by Beattie McGuinness
Bungay New York. Intended as a charity blanket to be donated to kids in
under-developed countries, the blanket is printed with information to
help the mothers learn about their baby’s health. The blankets include
information about breastfeeding, immunization vaccinations, body
temperature and warning signs of illness, all printed in the local
language.
the story of our blanket is one of care and responsible
craftsmanship. it begins with green-sensitive 100% double knit north
carolina cotton. soft and durable, it meets the strictest u.s.
environmental standards on dyes and finishing. when it’s ready, the
fabric is pre-shrunk and shipped to new york city where local craftsmen
cut it to swaddling size and double lock stitch the edges. the
informational graphics are then screen-printed using non-toxic water
based inks. the result is a blanket of the highest individual quality.
Our design includes a growth chart with average ranges for one,
three and six months, breastfeeding and vaccination frequency, high
temperature alert, doctors appointment reminder and a list of illness
warning signs.
For each blanket purchased another is given to a mother in her baby in need somewhere else in the world.
