Manufacturing and Quality Standards

At CustomPatches.nl, we aim to deliver personalised patches that match your approved design and agreed specifications.

Different patch types require different materials and manufacturing methods. Our approach focuses on choosing a suitable production method, preparing artwork carefully and checking the finished patches before delivery.

1. Our Manufacturing Process

Every custom patch order starts with your artwork and requirements.

We review your design, preferred patch type, dimensions, quantity and backing option before preparing a quotation.

Once the details are agreed, we provide a digital proof for approval. Manufacturing begins after the required payment and artwork approval.

2. Patch Materials and Production Methods

We offer several types of custom patches, each suited to different designs and applications.

Embroidered patches: Made using embroidery thread to create raised designs, lettering and logos.

Woven patches: Produced using fine threads, making them suitable for detailed artwork and smaller lettering.

PVC patches: Made using flexible PVC material, often chosen for outdoor gear, bags and accessories.

Printed patches: Suitable for designs with gradients, illustrations and detailed colour combinations.

Chenille patches: Known for their soft, textured appearance, commonly used on varsity jackets and clothing.

Leather patches: Often used for clothing labels, hats, bags and branded accessories.

We can help you select a patch type based on your design and intended use.

3. Artwork Preparation

Clear artwork is important for consistent production.

We review submitted designs to identify details that may need adjustment, such as very small text, thin lines or complex colour combinations.

A free digital proof allows you to check the proposed design before manufacturing.

4. Quality Checks

We aim to check finished orders against the approved specifications.

Depending on the patch type, these checks may include:

  • Design and lettering accuracy
  • Patch dimensions and shape
  • Colours and visible details
  • Stitching, borders and finishing
  • Backing and attachment type
  • Order quantity

If an issue is identified before dispatch, we aim to address it before sending the order.

5. Manufacturing Variations

Small differences can occur between a digital proof and a finished patch because of thread, fabric, PVC and other physical materials.

We aim to keep these variations within reasonable manufacturing tolerances.

Significant differences from the agreed specifications or manufacturing defects are handled under our Quality Guarantee.

6. Production and Delivery

Our usual estimated turnaround is 10–14 days, including production and delivery.

The timeframe may vary depending on design complexity, order quantity, patch type and destination.

We confirm the estimated schedule before your order is placed.
