Modern bullion wire usually contains only a trace of real gold. Most wire is made from metal alloys with a gold or silver finish, which keeps the price practical while still giving your crest the classic shine people expect from traditional bullion work.

Is the gold in bullion patches real gold?
Is there a minimum order for custom shirt patches?
We accept small and large orders so that you can order a few patches for a family event or thousands for company uniforms. The price per patch drops as quantity rises. Share your quantity and design, and we will send a quote with clear pricing.
Is there a minimum order for logo digitizing services?
No, we digitize single logos for individuals and small businesses, as well as bulk orders for larger companies and embroidery shops. Pricing stays the same per logo regardless of order size, so a one-off cap order gets the same care as a large uniform run.
Is towel embroidery digitizing different from regular embroidery digitizing?
Yes, towel digitizing accounts for loop pile, thickness, and absorbency that flat fabric doesn't have. Stitch density, underlay, and pull compensation all need adjustment, or the design will sink into the towel, fray quickly, or lose shape after just a few washes and use.
Should I choose iron-on or sew-on patches for work shirts?
Sew-on patches suit work shirts best, because heavy industrial washes and high dryer heat can weaken iron-on adhesive. Iron-on patches, on the other hand, work well for promotional T-shirts that see gentler care. Many businesses combine both methods for strength and quick application.
What are chenille patches made of?
Chenille patches combine chenille yarn, usually acrylic or wool, with a felt base and often a felt border. A machine loops the yarn through the felt to create a raised, fuzzy pile, while flat embroidery can add fine details such as text or outlines.
What fabric works best for appliqué embroidery?
Twill, felt, canvas, and cotton all perform well because they hold shape while cutting and resist fraying at the edges. Faux leather works too for bolder, modern designs. Our digitizers adjust underlay and pull compensation based on your specific fabric applique choice to keep it consistent.
What file format do I need for my artwork?
Vector files like AI, EPS, or PDF work best, since they scale to any patch size without losing detail. If you only have a logo in PNG or JPG format, we can convert it into a clean vector file as part of the artwork preparation process.
What file format should I send for my patch design?
Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF give the best results, since they keep lines sharp at any size. However, we also accept high-resolution PNG and JPG files, and phone photos of sketches. Our team will redraw the artwork where needed.
