How Should You Choose a Custom Patch Maker?

 

Knowing What to Look For

There are several custom patches makers online that can help you create a unique patch design, and narrowing down your options to get the best deal can seem like a formidable task. 

However, when you know what you are looking for, the process of picking the best custom patch maker is actually quite easy. So what should you be looking for?

For starters, make sure to pick a company that offers free artwork services and unlimited revisions. Even if you have artwork prepared before contacting a custom patch maker, the artwork file will still need to be converted so that it’s compatible with the manufacturing process.

Next, make sure that the custom patch maker you choose offers free priority shipping. Almost all of the custom made patches that you can buy are advertised with “free” shipping, but not all shipping is the same. Free standard shipping can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.

Lastly, choose a custom patch maker that includes a written guarantee of quality. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your custom made patches will be high quality and free of manufactured defects.

Keeping these three things in mind will help you find a reliable partner for creating custom patches. However, there is one more thing to think about during your search, and that’s service.

What Kind of Service Can You Expect From a Custom Patch Maker?

The level of service you receive from a custom patch maker will depend on the company that you contact. Some companies offer the three important items listed in the last section (free artwork, free priority shipping, and a written quality guarantee) but don’t have a high level of customer service. 

This is especially frustrating for customers who need artwork made from scratch. Submitting artwork as a completed vector file will help the process move along at a brisk pace, but when you only have a sketch of your idea or a handwritten description, thighs slow down. 

You may find that it takes several days to get your first proof of artwork and have a chance to request revisions on the design. Some custom patch makers are better than others when it comes to artwork services, but it can be hard to tell which are the best when you first start out.

Another service issue that you might run into is communication. In the past, our customers have told us about problems communicating their ideas with different custom patch makers. They also said that they felt like they were left in the dark during the manufacturing process while working with other custom patch makers.

Over the years, our Jiamei Labels Patches team has kept these sorts of things in mind and tried to think of ways to make the process of designing and ordering custom made patches as quick and easy as possible.

Now, we can’t be certain of what you will experience working with another custom patch maker, but that’s a different story when you choose us. Here’s what you can expect.

How Should You Choose a Custom Patch Maker?

We believe that our Jiamei Labels team offers the best customer service and the highest quality custom patches in the industry, but even if you decide to work with another custom patch maker, we want to make sure you find a way to get a good deal. 

Just remember, choose a custom print patch​ maker that offers free artwork and unlimited revisions, free priority shipping, and a written quality guarantee.  

  • You should never have to pay for a project before having artwork created. Prices will change depending on the number of thread colors used in the design, the size and shape of the patches and several other design elements.

  • A lot of custom patch makers advertise free shipping, but not all free shipping is the same. You might find that you get all the way through the design process and find that the free shipping offered to you is standard shipping that can take weeks or even months. While priority shipping is almost always available, it will cost a lot more money, adding to the price tag of your order.

  • Without a written quality guarantee, you run the risk of paying for custom patches that are sub-par. If you receive patches with manufactured defects, like frayed thread or wrong sizes, there are no processes in place to have replacements made or to get your money back. If you’re not sure if a custom patch maker offers a written quality guarantee, make sure to ask them.
