Patch planning guide

Order embroidered patches with a complete approval brief

Use a practical procurement checklist instead of ordering from an image alone.

An embroidered patch order is easier to review when the commercial and artwork requirements travel together. A logo file does not specify finished dimensions, quantity, backing or the receiving date. Build one approval brief so the quote, proof and final decision refer to the same scope.

Write the physical requirements

List the intended garment or object, usable placement area and finished patch dimensions. Identify whether the shape can be simplified and which lettering is essential. Keep these facts separate from inspirational images, which may illustrate a style without establishing a workable specification.

Identify the commercial scope

State the ordered quantity and list any distinct design versions. Include the delivery postcode and the actual required receiving date. Ask for the relevant attachment and finishing options to be named in the quote so they are not silently inferred from a photograph.

Give approval one clear owner

Collect spelling corrections and design feedback in a consolidated list. Compare each new proof against the stated dimensions and the latest revision rather than reviewing only its visual appeal. The final approver should know which version is being authorized before production scheduling begins.

Keep the reorder packet usable

Retain the approved proof, material, full dimensions, backing and quantity breakdown in one place. If a reorder changes the garment, artwork or size, flag that change instead of treating it as an identical repeat. A clear record reduces ambiguity without promising that every future project needs no further review.

Proof, production and shipping

Standard turnaround is approximately 10 business days, including production and shipping, starting from the next business day after final mockup approval. Priority Rush turnaround is approximately 7 business days, including production and shipping, starting from the next business day after final mockup approval.

Quantities from 1 are available. Quantities 1–10 use the existing ten-piece BASE production charge; per-piece add-ons use the actual ordered quantity.

Quotation shipping is free at $120 or more; otherwise it is $35. Confirm the destination and schedule in your quote.

Questions for this project

What should accompany a logo when requesting embroidery?

Include finished dimensions, quantity and versions, intended placement, backing preference, destination postcode and the required receiving date.

What makes an old order a genuine repeat?

The relevant approved specification must remain the same. Changes to artwork, size, material or attachment should be identified and reviewed rather than hidden under a reorder label.
