Patch Builder: Artwork That Survives Production | PLP Lab
Shape, size, border, backing and artwork detail decide what a custom patch can actually be. See the configuration that production can deliver.
What you'll learn
Pick a size that keeps small text readable
Match border and backing to the end use
Send artwork production can cut and finish
Approve a mockup that matches the real patch
Size for the smallest element
The thinnest line and smallest letter decide the minimum patch size. Set that first and the rest of the configuration follows.
Choose materials for the job
Border, material, and backing should match where the patch lives: a hat, a work jacket, or a product tag each ask for something different.
Approve from the mockup
The builder mockup is what production makes. Approve it as if the finished patch were already in your hand.
Tools used
