Getting patch sizing right comes down to three things: measure the actual garment, match the size to the placement, and match the patch type to the level of detail your design needs. Here is how we size every order that comes through the workshop.

This article is being written up from our workshop notes. In the meantime, the Patch Guidebook covers sizing, constructions, backings and pricing in reference form, and the team will answer anything specific directly — send us the question.

What this guide will cover

Written by the people who run the machines: what we actually do, why we do it that way, and where the trade-offs sit. No filler and no sales pitch.
