Patch Sizes
The average person would not know where to begin when deciding what size patch to order. As one of the industry’s top patch making companies, Signature Pins, knows how important it is for the patch size to complement your custom patch design. With all of the customization options that are now available, there is no such thing a standard patch size anymore. However, the formula we use to calculate patch size is an industry standard.
A Simple Formula for Determining the Patch Size
You do not have to be a math whiz to understand or be able to use the size formula. It is as simple as adding the height to the width and then dividing that number by two, or:
Size= (H+W)/2
For example, if you decide to order relatively large embroidered patches, you might go for a rectangular shaped patch that is six inches tall and eight inches wide. As long as you have the height and width you can determine the patch size. In standard form, the calculation looks like this:
S= (6”+8”)/2
When we do the math, we arrive at a patch size of 7.
S=14”//2
S=7”
Of course, with the infinite amount of number combinations we have, your patch size may not necessarily come out to be as even as the example given above but you can leave that for the professionals at Signature Pins to figure out.
We Offer More than Size Variation on Personalized Patches
The options available to you don’t stop at the patch size. We can produce the amount of embroidery based on the complexity of the design. The edging on your embroidered patches can either be merrowed or heat-cut. Lastly, you will choose from several backing options including peel-and-stick, iron-on, and custom Velcro patches.
