Start with an ideal
First, figure out what you want to communicate with your custom patch. Are you celebrating your birthday? Do you want to include a business logo? Are you marketing an organization? Do you want it to add some interesting to your clothes? Or is to give your hats a new look. Patches are usually made up of logo designs, some quotes or patterns. First, decide what kind of custom made patches you want to make. then consider the design, color scheme, and material.
STEP 2
Type of custom patches
there are a variety of patches available. They design custom patches, woven patches, name patches, hat patches, embroidered patches and Iron on patches. Attention to detail and high-quality work is what sets them apart from everyone else. Go through various sample designs to narrow down your choices.
Embroidered Patches: The most traditional type of patches that we can create is an embroidered patch, Here we embroider thread onto a backing and create a raised design.
Woven Patches : Woven patches are similar to embroidered patches, but use thinner thread to achieve more detail and aren’t as raised. Dye sublimation is the most modern way to create custom patches.
Instead of thread, we dye the patch material to achieve the most detail. Take the amount of detail in your design into consideration before you choose.
STEP 3
Size of custom patches
The size of the Custom Patches can be determined according to the purpose of the patch. If you are using it for a jacket sleeve, then keep it big and vibrant whereas, if you are using it for a bag then a small size patch would do. There are some standard sizes being used for common custom patches. Let’s have a look.
Hat Patches – frequent size is 3″
Military patches-Most frequent size used is 4″ Width x 1″ height
How to Measure the suitable custom patches size?
Patches are measured using the following formula: (Height + Width) / 2
Simply add together the height and width of your desired patch, then divide that number by two. The result is your patch size.
