Who has blankup produced for?

Recent runs include Y Combinator startups screenpipe (S26), Ontora, Manicule, and Pairio (P26), plus senior class and club programs at Whitney High School in Cerritos. Every project is documented as a case study with the garment, decoration, and timeline.

“We were on a tight timeline for our school talent show, and blankup was the only vendor who could actually hit our delivery date. The whole production run took under five days, and they were incredibly helpful the entire way through.”
