How To Make Custom Embroidered Patches
How are custom embroidery patches made? They are made by taking your artwork and digitizing your design into a format used in a computer-controlled digitizer. Once digitized, thread colors are loaded into the machine and thousands of stitches later, your logo is transformed into a company patch. Here are a few things to consider when you create a custom patch or embroidery badge and we are here to help you every step of the way.
What does 75% or 100% coverage mean?
Think about the fabric that will be embroidered, the fabric can be used to enhance your image as a background color. Do background fabrics make for a better design? If you intend to see the fabric or the “background”, then your art would have 75% coverage. If you cannot see any of the backgrounds, it classifies as 100% coverage.
Sizing is easily figured out by using two measurements.
The size can be determined by adding the measurement of the length plus the width and dividing by two: i.e. (length + width) ÷ 2 = size. For example, a 3" by 3" is considered a 3"
Custom Embroidered Badges & Rush Orders
Production time varies depending on the style of product you choose, but it normally takes between 2 to 3 weeks to create a custom embroidered patch. Rush orders can usually be accommodated for an additional charge. Making samples prior to full production is always a good idea especially when ordering patches in bulk that include embroidery.
Design Considerations
Attachment Options
- Iron-on: Our most popular option! The application for iron-on designs starts by placing them directly onto your garment and using a damp towel between your iron and patch, applying steady pressure for approximately 15 to 30 seconds depending on the heat used. It is easy to see if your ironing worked as they should feel secure when you are done and cooled.
- Adhesive Backing: This option is not to be confused with an iron-on backing. Adhesive only works with smooth non-fabric surfaces.
- Plastic backing: Often used with iron backing, plastic backing gives them a more rigid feel. This allows for a longer life cycle because of the sturdiness of the background.
- Velcro Backed: Velcro also known as hook and loop is the most versatile backing option as they are easily removed from your garment. An excellent advantage to keeping them looking new while washing your uniform, jacket, or hat.
- Button loops: They are a loop that is attached to the edge of your patch that can be used to hang from almost anything, including buttons or a button.
Enhancements
- Metallic Threads are a great option if you need part of your logo to stand out. Metallic thread colors are limited however we do offer all the standard metallic thread colors.
- Glow in the dark is a fun option when you want your patch to stand out at night.
- 3D Embroidery has a sculpted look and even a puffy look. We recommend asking pre-production samples when adding 3D.
- Printed patches and woven patches offer a substantial amount of detail. Woven patches use a much thinner thread and are woven into the background. Printed patches have a more photo-realistic-look to them, where your demising printed directly on to the background.
