How To Make Embroidered Patches
Here are a few things to consider when you create a custom embroidered patch or embroidered badge and we are here to help you every step of the way.
What does 75% or 100% embroidery mean?
Think about the fabric on which your design will be embroidered, the fabric can be used to enhance your design as a background color. Would having the fabric showing make for a better design? If you intend to see the fabric, or the “background”, then your design would classify as 75% embroidery. If you cannot see any of the backgrounds, it classifies as 100% embroidery.
Patch 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" design is considered a 3' patch
Custom Embroidered Badge Design & Production Time
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 jobs 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.
