Custom Merrow-Border Patches For A Uniform Program

Client Background

A school and club uniform buyer needed embroidered badges with a merrow border and a choice of iron-on or sew-on backing.

Project Challenge

The design required a finished merrow edge, custom size, and a sample before a bulk badge order.

Pain Points

• Border finish had to match an existing merrow spec
• Backing method was not decided at artwork stage
• First order needed to stay near the listed 50–100 piece minimums

Our Solution

Lizhuo quoted the merrow-border embroidery patch line. Backing options on the catalog include iron-on, sew-on, pin-on, plastic, and hook-and-loop. Sample time on that listing is 3 to 5 days; bulk lead time is listed as 5 to 15 days depending on quantity.

Manufacturing Process

• Artwork review
• Thread and ground selection (twill, cotton, velvet, satin, leather, felt)
• Embroidery and merrow border
• Backing attach
• Piece packing in OPP bags

Supply Chain

Export coordination from the Hong Kong desk with Dongguan sales and inspection support. Shenzhen is the port named on the merrow-border listing.

Quality Control

Inspection at the Dongguan quality-inspection center described on the About page before packed goods leave for the named port.

Result

A sampleable custom patch path with published minimums and backing options instead of a one-off artisan badge order.

Customer Benefit

The buyer can lock border, backing, and size on a sample before committing to bulk.
