Placemat: Pre-Sewn Placemat Blanks

Description

Pre-sewn placemat blanks with serged and bound edges ready for printing. Blanks were sewn for Country Prints at a factory in Jersey City, New Jersey. These blanks were put into use in the early 1960’s as a cost-cutting measure. Prior to using these blanks, placemats were produced with stitched and fringed edges in-house at the Country Prints workshop. The blanks with the bound edges added a more contemporary, streamlined look to the placemat offerings.
