Have you ever stopped to wonder how embroidered patches are actually made? I have, especially when I've seen some of the newest creations involving complex embroidery and a multitude of colors. It really does seem as though manufacturers can create patches from the most intricate designs these days. If you are doubting what I have to say then just have a look on the internet at some of the truly spectacular patches that are available these days. But how do they do it?
Computerization
Computerization is something that has changed the way many things in the world are made and patches are no exception. Patches used to be embroidered by hand years ago by a person who was using a simple design. So when it came to patches being created for commercial purposes, there was never much in the way of variety or detail.
But when automation was introduced to the industry things got a bit easier with embroidery machines that could produce multiple copies of the same patch - from a single template. But the embroidery machines from just ten years ago would not have had the capability to produce some of the patches that are appearing today.
Computerization has enabled the industry to create intricately designed patches with extreme precision even on a very small scale. It is now possible to create embroidered patches to within 1/1000 of an inch of tolerance. This makes it possible to do things that used to be impossible; things such as shading, detailing, and fine outlining. So nowadays patches are something that a lot of people would see as fine works of art.
The only limitations on patches these days is the imagination of the designers. As long as they have an idea, they can create that graphical representation on the computer and then the software they are using can convert that into an embroidery pattern. That pattern is saved as a computer file, loaded into the embroidery machine's computer, and stitched on empty patches. Furthermore, one of the added benefits of computerization is that it's now also possible to do short run jobs and still remain profitable.
No matter how you slice it, computerization has been good for embroidered patches. Which really is great. This is also a great boon for when it comes to wholesale patches for cheap.
