The time required to design and produce a custom patch can vary depending on the complexity of the design and the quantity ordered. Typically, the design process can take 1-2 weeks, including revisions, while production might take an additional 2-4 weeks. Discussing timelines with your supplier to ensure deadlines are met is essential.

While most designs can be turned into patches, the level of detail that can be achieved depends on the patch size and the materials used. Your supplier can guide you in optimizing your design for embroidery.

Minimum order quantities can vary significantly between suppliers. Some may offer low minimum orders, ideal for small projects or personal use, while others require larger orders. This information is typically available on the supplier's website or by direct inquiry.

Consider the item the patch will be applied to and the visibility of the design. Standard sizes range from 2 to 4 inches for logos or simple designs for shirts or caps. Larger patches are suitable for jackets or bags. Your supplier can recommend sizes based on their experience and your needs.
