Begin with the finish

Embroidered patches have visible stitch texture. Woven patches use fine interlaced threads for a flatter surface. PVC concepts use molded raised and recessed areas. Leather and bullion styles offer different material identities.

Match the design to the size

A detailed crest and a simple monogram need different space. Provide the finished dimensions so the material and construction can be evaluated against the artwork.

Consider the edge and backing

Border shape and attachment affect how the patch will look and work on the final garment. Include your preferred edge treatment and application method.

Complete the production brief

Quantity, destination and required date all matter. Confirm physical specifications, production availability and delivery before authorizing a patch order.
