What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits

- One artwork proof covers all patch sizes and styles so branding stays consistent across products
- Made in our own factory so revisions are handled directly by the team doing the work

Problems It Solves
- Stock patches carry generic designs that do not reflect your brewery’s identity
- Printed patches fade or peel after a few washes, especially on jackets and bags

- Late changes to artwork that a supplier without in-house design cannot adjust quickly
