Look to the right place if you want the right patch for the right price
Looking for a place to order custom embroidered patches? It's easy. Do a Web search and you'll find lots of custom patch suppliers. But which one is right for your custom patch needs? That's a bit more complicated, but with a little research you can find a great supplier who will meet your requirements satisfactorily.
First of all, find out how long the company has been in business. You want somebody who's been around long enough to know what they're doing to produce your custom patches, right? If a company's been in business for a few years, chances are good they've attracted talented artists to help you design your patch. That company's also more likely to have created a track record when it comes to customer satisfaction than one that's only been around a couple of months. Check with the Better Business Bureau and see what kind of reputation the company has for dealing with customers.
Consider what kind of backing you want your custom patches to have. Your specific patch need will determine what kind of backing your patches will have. No matter what kind of backing you need - iron-on, sew-on, tape or Velcro, a quality patch provider will have the backing options you need and will be able to advise you what kind is right for your particular application. If you need custom-shaped patches, they should be able to accommodate that too.
Then make a run for the border - the patch border, that is. The traditional, or merrowed, border will give you the customary patch design with a finished "wraparound" edge. This style increases the visual separation between the patch and the garment it's applied to. On the other hand, a hot cut border enables the patch to lie totally flat against the garment, and is ideal for custom-shaped patches. A good customer service representative can help you decide which border style will work best with your specific custom patch design.
When you're comparing prices, make sure you're comparing equivalent numbers. Some companies will quote a low initial price, but charge extra for things like artwork, revisions, setup and shipping. A reputable company will quote you a single price that includes everything.
