Illustrative design concept

A CONSIDERED APPROACH

Built around the way
you’ll use it.

Bullion-style patches use metallic elements to create a distinctive raised texture. The crest, edge, material and intended garment should be discussed in detail because construction differs from a standard embroidered patch.

01

Crest composition

Provide the exact emblem and identify the details that lead the design.

02

Metallic finish

Share references for gold, silver or mixed-metal appearance.

03

Construction review

Confirm the intended size, backing and production process before ordering.

BEFORE YOU START

A clearer brief.
A better starting point.

Use your clearest source artwork. Include the finished size, application and required date. Confirm price, deliverables and timing before placing an order.

✓ Source artwork

Bullion Patches: decisions to confirm

Decision	What to specify	Why it matters
Metallic direction	Specify gold, silver or a mixed appearance using reference images.	Screen color alone does not describe the final material effect.
Raised construction	Identify the key shapes and their visual hierarchy.	Construction should be reviewed separately from a standard embroidered file.
Handling and care	Explain the garment, usage and likely cleaning process.	Care requirements should be confirmed for the final materials.

Is bullion just a metallic thread color?

Not necessarily. Bullion-style construction can involve metallic wire elements and a distinct raised texture, so specify the desired material and finish rather than only a color.

Can I use a highly detailed crest?

Provide the complete artwork and identify the key elements. The feasible detail and overall dimensions should be reviewed for the chosen construction.

What should I approve before physical production?

Confirm artwork, actual size, material, colors, edge finish, backing, quantity and any sample or proof requirements. Timing and delivery should be agreed separately.

How is the project price confirmed?

Price depends on the approved artwork and physical specifications, including size, construction, quantity and delivery needs. Request a project-specific total before authorizing work.
