Why choose custom patches
A patch is not just a drawing: it is a construction. The real problem is holding the materials together and keeping shape and definition after months of use, washing and friction.
We compare construction options before producing and pick the one that holds: where it matters we stitch instead of gluing, because stitching reduces the risk of the layers separating. When time is short, sampling can be checked remotely with detailed photos and video.

Backings
Iron-on, velcro or direct stitching, chosen according to the garment the patch ends up on.

Yes, when the schedule demands it. On that same project we checked the sample with detailed photos and video, verifying shape, edges, alignment and stitching quality without waiting for it to arrive physically.
Yes: we start from the drawing or the original and rebuild the artwork, adapting proportions and details to the real size of the patch and the chosen technique.
