Custom Patches
Gold Patch
A custom gold edge patch with half embroidered design and package edge finish, made to your artwork. The patch shown was produced with a gold thread outline and half-embroidered central image, with the edge wrapped and secured by a package stitch. This method ensures the gold thread remains intact and the design does not fray during wear or washing. You approve a digital proof before production begins, so the final piece matches your vision exactly.

Use Guide
- Send vector artwork (AI PDF CDR) for best edge clarity and thread accuracy

- Order a few extra patches per design to account for wear or replacement needs
