Blanket synthetic med.thermal,recycled

General description:
BLANKET, SYNTHETIC (FLEECE) 1.5 x 2m, MEDIUM THERMAL, RECYCLED.
Content: 20 pieces per bale

Technical specification:
Design and comfort: The blanket should be breathable, secure, free from allergens and with no strong odour. It should provide a soft, pleasant, and comfortable feeling against the skin. A user-friendly and accessible product design that follows Universal Design Principles.
Make / Weaving: Knitted or woven, dry raised on both sides – innovative alternative weaving can be considered if it satisfies the quality criteria.
Material / Content, ISO 1833 on dry weight: The material composition of blankets shall be 100% recycled polyester. Recycled polyester should be from post-consumer waste re melting process. Pre-consumer material is acceptable; however, preference is given to post-consumer material. The recycled material in the product needs to ensure the quality and usability requirements of the products.
Colours: A uniform dark colour that is not black (e.g., dark blue, grey, brown). No red or white. The colour should be fixed and not run when washing.
Size: 150 x 200cm +3%/-1%. Measured on a flat stabilized sample, without folds.
Weight: Minimum 400g/m2 maximum 700g/m² weight determined by total weight/total surface.
Thickness ISO 5084: Minimum 6.5mm (1KPa on 2000mm²).
Tensile strength ISO13934-1: Minimum 250N warp and weft.
Tensile strength loss after washing: ISO13934-1 and ISO 6330
Maximum 5% warp and weft after 3 consecutive machine-washing cycles at 30°C and one flat drying.
Shrinkage ISO 6330: Maximum 5% warp and weft after 3 consecutive machine-washing cycles at 30°C and one flat drying.
Weight loss after washing: Maximum 5% after 3 consecutive machine-washing cycles at 30°C and one flat drying.
Thermal resistance ISO 11092: The insulation capacity of a blanket depends on the thermal resistance (Rct or TOG) and the air permeability of the material. The thermal resistance depends not only on the weight or the raw material but also on the fiber quality, the type of weaving or knitting and fiber raising. Minimum Rct = 0.25 (m2∙K)/W (=TOG 2.5), rounded to
the nearest 0.01 in the case of Rct (or 0.1 in the case of TOG), passed on samples picked from compressed bales. Mechanical conditioning: after opening the bale, the blanket shall be dry tumbled in a dryer (500L minimum capacity) without any other load for 15 minutes at
a temperature of less than 30°C. Then, the blanket shall be conditioned for at least 24 hours by flat lying at ambient conditions (20°C and 65% Relative Humidity).
Resistance to air flow ISO9237
under 100 Pa pressure drop: Maximum 1000 L/m²/s
Finish: Whipped seam at 10 mm from the edge with a minimum of 10 stitches/10cm or stitched ribbon or hemmed on 4 sides. Corners can be rounded up to a 10 cm radius or square. However, alternative innovative finishing options can be considered.
Span/shelf life: The blanket should not degrade rapidly and should ensure long usage. Durability is demonstrated by tensile tests and weight loss tests after 3 times of washes. Blankets should have a minimum life span of 2.5 years and a shelf life of 7 years.
Fire resistance SO12952-1 & ISO12952-2:
Resistance to cigarette - No ignition
Resistance to flame - No ignition

Packaging
Primary Packaging: Reducing plastic waste in the environment: Individual blankets should have no
packaging (zero plastic).
Secondary packaging: Quantity per secondary packaging: 20 pcs with a compression rate of 60% is optimal, but innovative alternative approaches will be considered if they satisfy the quality and usability requirements of the products. Compressed and strapped with 5 straps (2 lengthwise, 3 crosswise). Straps made of recycled material are welcome. Current bale dimensions: Length 85cm +/-5cm, Width 55cm +/-5cm, Height 75 cm +/-5 cm (height of the bales to be compressed by maximum 60% from free state to final compressed and strapped state). Ensure that user-friendliness and safety aspects of handling persons are considered in the packaging design.
Tertiary packaging: The bales might be packed on a pallet; in this case, they need to be wrapped in a
water-tight material, preferably made of, or containing sustainable material, e.g., recycled plastic or reusable material (such as tarpaulins or other alternatives). Packaging needs to ensure that products are protected from any damage including water and moisture. Innovative sustainable solutions are welcome. Avoid compostable bioplastic for packaging and increase recycled content wherever possible.

Manufactured Marking: Every blanket should include a tag stitched in the hem; the tag should include the following: Unicef logo on the left side and the below writings on the right.
• Produced for Unicef by the manufacturer’s name • A unique reference batch number •Pieces per bale • The date of manufacturing • TOG number • Material composition (type of material(s)) and the ratio of each material in the product • Certified sustainability claim/eco-labelling • Information related to the reuse/recyclability of the item. Tag size-15X4.5 cm.
No company logo should be included with the manufacturer’s marking. The final marking on the tag, letter size, and design needs to be approved by Unicef before production.

Visibility Logo: Unicef logo can be stitched as a label or inserted / printed / heat embossed on the blanket, placing the (long lasting) logo on the center of the blanket or in one corner.

Printing of UNICEF Logo: UNICEF visibility logo (the word 'unicef' + mother and child emblem) should be stitched as a label in one corner of the blanket. The size of the logo should be 11.4 cm wide and 4.6 cm high placed at the corner of the blanket.
Font: Univers. Colour specification: Pantone Fabric swatch 17-4540-TC (equivalent to Process Cyan (100% cyan) CMYK of C100 M0 Y0 K0).

Marking on the bales: Unicef logo + BLANKET, MT, G, 1.5x2m, number of pieces + PO number. No
logo of the supplier is allowed. The marking must remain readable and well fixed on the bale after a minimum of 10 handlings. Other markings as specified in the contract/purchase order. The Unicef visibility logo will need to be applied on all sides of the secondary packaging (excluding the bottom).

Pallet: Pallets must be fumigated, and heat treated as per IPSM15 standard. Palletised goods must not exceed the length and width of the pallet. Pallets should be shrink wrapped and strapped.
BARCODES: Barcodes should be fixed and visible. For shipments to UNICEF Warehouses, please refer to UNICEF Warehouse Packing Specifications on the UNICEF website: www.unicef.org/supply.
