Custom Embroidered Patches: 10 Key Considerations in 2023

Posted on by netdigitizing

Embroidered patches are a timeless way to showcase your brand or personal style. Whether you’re creating patches for your business, sports team or simply as a fashion statement, there are a few key considerations to consider when designing your custom embroidered patches. You can choose iron-on, adhesive and sew-on patches depending on your requirement. 

Here are 10 essential things to consider when creating custom embroidered patches in 2023:

  • Design: The design of your custom embroidery patch is crucial as it needs to be clear and easily recognizable. It’s essential to create a high-quality graphic to embroider easily. Remember that intricate details may be harder to reproduce on a small patch, so choosing a simple yet impactful design is essential.
  • Size: Consider the size of your patch carefully, as it will impact the level of detail that we can include in your design. A larger patch may allow for more detailed embroidery. Still, a smaller patch can be more versatile and work better for certain garments.
  • Colour: Choosing the right colours can make your custom embroidered patch stand out and be more visually appealing. Remember that certain colours may translate poorly to embroidery. Hence, choosing colours that work well with the thread you plan to use is important.
  • Thread type: The type of thread used can affect the look and durability of your patch. Nylon and polyester are popular options as they are durable and come in a wide range of colours.
  • Backing: The backing you choose for your patch will depend on the garment it will be attached to and how you plan to use it. An iron-on backing can be applied easily at home, while a Velcro backing can be easily removed and repositioned.

Reminder: Our experienced staff is available for questions about custom badges! 

  • Edges: Choose a merrow border or a laser-cut edge, depending on your desired style. A merrowed edge is a traditional option that provides a classic look. In contrast, a laser-cut edge creates a more modern, clean-cut look. That is the beauty of custom embroidery.
  • Placement: Consider where you wish to place your badge and ensure your design complements the garment. A patch that is too large or too small for the garment can look awkward, so choosing an appropriate size and placement is crucial.
  • Quantity: Consider the number of patches you need and whether you will need to reorder in the future. Ordering in bulk often results in a lower price per patch and is more cost-effective if you plan to use the patches frequently.
  • Budget: Determine a realistic budget for your project and consider any additional costs, such as setup fees. Remember that certain design elements, such as colour and size, can affect the cost of your patches.
  • Production time: Be aware of production timelines to ensure your custom embroidered patches are ready when needed. Production time can vary depending on the complexity of your design and the number of patches you need. The best thing is to plan ahead to avoid any delays.

By considering these 10 key factors when creating custom embroidered patches, you can ensure that your iron-on, adhesive or sew-on patches are high-quality, visually appealing, and tailored to your needs.

The 5 Most Asked Questions on 3D Puff Badges

Posted on by netdigitizing

If you need clarification on what embroidered 3D Puff Badges are, this article is for you. Whether it’s for caps or hoodies, we’ve got “foam” answers!

This article we will cover:

  • A debriefer on how 3D Puff badges look like.
  • The process of choosing and tweaking design elements of the badge before you submit an order.
  • How the badges are attached to garments.
  • And the 5 most asked questions regarding 3D Puff badges.

What are Embroidered 3D Puff Patches?

Embroidered 3D Puff badges are bespoke designs. Stitching threads create these badges onto various fabric backings supplied in many shapes and sizes. You can choose from hundreds of thread options and colours to create or match your unique design. We insert foam under the embroidery stitching. And that, in turn, raises the surface or generates a “puffed” look. In return, the foam gives the embroidery designs a three-dimensional appearance. We often see the 3D foam effect on garments that don’t require much washing, and it is most popular on caps.

How to check if your design is suitable for embroidered 3D Puff Patches?

Finding out if a design suits embroidered 3D puff patches can be difficult, so here are some tips. Designs with bold, broad strokes, such as large, simple letters, allow for the most dimensional embroidery using 3D foam. The vast area allows for long designs while loose stitches allow the foam to remain high and uncompressed. The object of focus in the 3D badge must ideally be between 3-8 mm wide. Look at the designs below in the image. The letter A looks the most dimensional as it is the thickest.

Is it hard to attach embroidered 3D Puff Patches to my garments?

With recent technological advancements, heat presses are available that produce heat from the bottom. These are the best equipment to use if you want to heat seal your badges. The foam used for 3D puff badges has a low melting point, so you must carefully attach them to the garments or caps. The other way to attach badges is to stitch them using machine appliqué or manual stitching. For a cap badge; you’d need a hat press or a custom cap attachment!

I have a design available to me; how will the badge look the way I want it?

Our team has had decades of experience producing 3D embroidery designs, so once you request a free quote with us, we will look at the design and verify its compatibility for you. If we have any recommendations on making the badge look even better, we will contact you with our suggestions and create alternate mockups for your review. Our process is fast, and it usually takes around 24 hours for our designers to form a badge’s digital mockup when you place the quote online. Once you review the digital mockup, you will know the appearance of the badge and can approve it or request amendments as required.

What is the minimum quantity required to order 3D Embroidery Badges?

Our required minimum order quantity for 3D badges is 25 pieces. But the price drops drastically as the quantity increases. For instance, if an order of 35 badges per badge costs £4, for an order of 300 badges, it would cost you around £0.90 per badge. The easy way to assess where to use additional badges if you increase the quantity you want to order is to figure out what more products you can use the badges on. For example, if your business has 16 members in its core team and they buy one garment each to apply the badge, you only need to order 16 pieces. However, you could market your brand even more by putting the same badge on caps, shorts, or even gym bags, and you
would need to order more badges, which would translate to lower per-badge prices for your business.

You can contact us directly if you have any more queries about customizing 3D Embroidery Badges.
