Illustrative design concept

A CONSIDERED APPROACH

Built around the way
you’ll use it.

PVC patch artwork is a molded product concept rather than a machine embroidery file. Raised areas, recessed sections, small text and the intended backing need review with the selected production method.

01

Dimensional layers

Identify the areas that should be raised or recessed.

02

Clean artwork

Favor distinct shapes and explain any very fine elements.

03

Physical specifications

Confirm material, thickness, backing, quantity and production availability.

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.

PVC Patches: decisions to confirm

Decision	What to specify	Why it matters
Layered relief	Identify which areas sit above or below the surrounding surface.	A flat color proof alone does not explain every height relationship.
Fine details	Review small lettering, gaps and thin elements with the production process.	Tiny visual details may need simplification before molding.
Use conditions	State the intended exposure, handling and receiving product.	Material suitability and care should be confirmed for the actual use.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECT BRIEF

Put the details into context.

A two-tone mountain emblem with a raised border and recessed background. Mark the height relationships on the artwork and specify the application and backing.

BEFORE YOU SAY YES

Review the details.
Then take the next step.

A screen preview is one part of approval. Check the details that matter to the actual application.

01

Artwork and dimensions

Confirm the spelling, proportions, color direction and finished patch size.

02

Material and edge

Check the construction, surface and perimeter treatment as separate specifications.

03

Attachment and use

Confirm how the patch will attach and request care or application guidance for the selected materials.

04

Quantity and delivery

Confirm the approved quantity, sample or proof stage, destination and timing before physical production.

Request this project ↗

Is PVC produced on an embroidery machine?

No. It is a molded patch construction rather than a stitched thread design. The project needs its own material and production specifications.

Can a PVC design have both raised and recessed areas?

That is a common design direction, but the layer relationships and feasible construction should be reviewed with the intended production process.

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.
