Choosing Colors
Consider contrasting product colors if your patch has darker colors, unless you want a subtle look like a charcoal logo on a black cap. By selecting colors that work together and enhance the overall appearance, you can create a memorable piece that truly represents your brand essence.
Selecting Fonts
Consider the size of the font and how it'll look when done. Bigger or bolder fonts are usually easier to read especially when on a contrasting colored background. When you choose fonts that match your logo, you can make a cool-looking design that standouts. Just remember, some styles don't work well with small fonts, and if you're using embroidery, you might need a bigger font compared to a woven or a printed style to make it easy to read unless you are looking to create a subtle-looking design.
Incorporating Logos and Images
Putting your logo on custom patches will definitely spice things up. The colors in your logo will affect the size, shape, thread colors our design team will use. We'll show you a digital preview to okay before they go into production. No matter if it's for a sports team, military crew, or business, your artwork can really help your design pop and stick in people's minds.

Merrow vs Hot Cut Borders
A custom merrowed border is a heavier, more robust outlining around the exterior edges. Hot-cut edges, also known as laser-cut edges, are the best choice for unique shapes and more complex designs.
When you need a little more dimension, use a merrowed border. It's more durable than hot-cut borders and both styles can be applied by hand or machine! Plus, this is a great choice for iron-on patches too.
