10. Professional FAQ: Industry Technical FAQ
FAQ About Foldable Picnic Rug
Q1: What materials are most suitable for a foldable picnic rug used in wet environments?
A1: For maximum waterproofing and durability, 210T polyester with PEVA or Oxford PVC backing is optimal; these meet ISO8124, ASTM F963 and EN71 standards for waterproofness and chemical safety.
Q2: What sizes are available, and can the rug dimensions be customized for special uses?
A2: Standard sizes range from 120x150 cm (child) to 250x300 cm (event/XL). Custom sizes are available via OEM/ODM, with specific MOQ and lead-time.
Q3: Is there a standard for colorfastness and abrasion for picnic rugs?
A3: Yes. Colorfastness is tested per ISO 105-E04 (grade 4–5 recommended), while Martindale Abrasion testing per BS EN ISO 12947 ensures the rug withstands at least 2,500 cycles for heavy-duty application.
Q4: Which certifications are important for exporting picnic blankets to EU or USA?

Q5: How to care for a foldable picnic rug to maximize lifespan?
A5: Shake off debris, wipe with a damp cloth (no bleach), air dry flat, and never tumble dry. Regular inspections will preserve waterproof and antimicrobial coatings over 3-5 years of active use.
Q6: How are handle/strap systems attached, and do they affect compactness?
A6: Most use double-box-stitched webbing or snap-on buckles sewn at strategic fold-points, reinforcing structure without adding bulk. Our Picnic Beach Blanket Portable features patent-pending fold-and-lock strap tech.
Q7: What is a typical production and shipping timeline for a custom order?
