A CONSIDERED APPROACH

Built around the way
you’ll use it.

Embroidered patches use thread to create shapes and lettering on a supporting base. Stitch coverage and fine detail should be evaluated at the requested size so important elements remain recognizable.

01

Stitch coverage

Discuss which areas are embroidered and where the base material remains visible.

02

Border style

Specify the desired shape and edge treatment.

03

Attachment choice

Include the required backing or attachment method for review.

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.

KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

Small choices.
A different finished result.

These decisions help define the project before the artwork or production plan is approved.

Embroidered Patches: decisions to confirm

Decision	What to specify	Why it matters
Visible base versus full coverage	Decide where the base fabric should remain part of the design.	Complete stitch coverage changes texture and construction.
Regular versus custom shape	Review the perimeter together with the selected border treatment.	Fine corners and tight curves may need adjustment.
Text and detail	Check the design at the finished patch dimensions.	A small patch cannot automatically retain all the detail of a large crest.

Can an embroidered patch contain fine text?

The actual wording, font, dimensions and construction need review. A larger patch or simpler lettering may improve readability.

Does a patch preview confirm the backing?

Not by itself. The material, edge and attachment specifications should be listed separately in the approved project details.

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.
