Patch design tips

Keep tiny details simple: Embroidered and woven patches can show detail, but small text and thin lines may not stitch clearly.
Choose the right patch type: Embroidered patches feel classic, woven patches allow finer detail, PVC patches feel bold, and chenille patches feel soft and varsity-inspired.
Plan the border early: Merrowed borders suit simple shapes, while laser-cut edges work better for detailed or custom-shaped patches.
Match the backing to the use: Iron-on, sew-on, Velcro and adhesive backings all suit different apparel, bags, hats and uniforms.
Think about retail packaging: Patches work well with backing cards, stickers, hang tags, envelopes, display cards and gift-ready packaging.

✅ Low-risk ordering 50% deposits, samples, artwork support and DDP shipping help make first orders easier.

First Order Questions

1) Where are your products made?

Your Stuff Made is supported by a global team focused on high-quality custom products, ethical manufacturing and local customer support.

🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia — Creative, logistics and APAC support
🇵🇭 Manila, Philippines — Customer care, design and operations
🇨🇳 Shenzhen, China — Prototyping, manufacturing and sourcing
🇺🇸 San Diego, USA — Fulfilment and U.S. logistics
🇺🇸 San Francisco, USA — HQ support and project development
🇬🇧 London, UK — Creative, logistics and EU support

We are committed to ethical, B Corp-aligned manufacturing values, including responsible labour standards, better production practices and more transparent custom product sourcing.

2) What is your turnaround or manufacturing timeframe?

Turnaround depends on the product type, artwork complexity, quantity, finish, packaging and shipping destination. These are general estimates for around 100 units:

🧸 Small Goods: around 8 business days | From $90
Pins, charms, keychains, patches, magnets, plush toys, bottles and similar products.
👕 Apparel: around 18 business days | From $95

Need an exact timeline? Send us your product, quantity, artwork and delivery country and we can confirm the best production path.

3) How do tariffs, fees and taxes affect costs?

We help make international ordering easier with DDP Shipping, which means Delivered Duties Paid.

✔️ Import taxes, duties and tariffs are prepaid where applicable
✔️ Fewer surprise customs bills or hidden delivery charges
✔️ Less paperwork for you, because the shipment is prepared for door-to-door delivery

In some countries, a low product cost can become expensive once import duties, tariffs and handling fees are added. DDP shipping helps reduce that uncertainty by including those costs upfront where possible.

4) Do you accept 50% deposits?

Yes. Most custom product orders can begin with a 50% deposit.

50% deposit to begin production
50% balance after production proof or photo proof, before shipping

This gives you more confidence because you can review what is being sent before final payment and dispatch.

5) What is the Minimum Order Quantity?

Many products have no MOQ or low minimums, because great ideas should not be limited by large order requirements.

✅ Many small goods have no MOQ
🔢 Some products start as low as 1–25 units
🧵 Apparel, packaging and stationery often allow low-run production

Tip: Bigger orders usually lower the cost per unit. Ordering multiple product types together may also help reduce shipping costs.

6) Can I see samples before ordering?

Yes. Samples are a great option if you want to test a new design, check colours, confirm materials or feel more confident before placing a full order.

You can upload your design and request 1 unit or a small sample run. Our team will review the details and prepare a custom sample quote before full production.

7) What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

We stand behind the products we make. If your order arrives damaged or has a quality concern, email us at hi@yourstuffmade.com with photos, your order details and a short explanation.

Our team will review the issue and provide a tailored solution based on the product, order details and situation.

8) What file formats work best?

For best results, send us:

.AI files where possible
PNG files for clear artwork previews
PDF or JPEG if that is all you have

Not a designer? No problem. You can send a sketch, screenshot, rough idea or logo and our design team can help turn it into a production-ready file.
