Border Planning
The digitizing approach should match how the patch edge will be finished rather than treating every patch the same.
- Merrow border workflows
- Hot cut or laser cut edges
- Border width considered at finished size
Fill and Layering
Background fills, lettering, outlines, and borders are sequenced to support registration and clean visual separation.
- Underlay selected for the patch material
- Density balanced with coverage needs
- Overlaps planned to reduce visible gaps
Size and Detail
Small patch artwork may require simplification because thread, lettering, borders, and tiny details have physical limits.
- Finished dimensions guide stitch choices
- Small lettering evaluated for readability
- Artwork simplification discussed when needed
Common Patch Applications
- Uniform and workwear patches
- Company and organizational branding
- Sports, clubs and team patches
- Custom shape patches
- Heat seal and sew on applications
Useful Order Information
