Ever wondered how a logo becomes a finished patch? Here is the step-by-step custom patch manufacturing process.</p><h2>1. Artwork &amp; digitising</h2><p>Your artwork is cleaned up and converted into a machine file — a stitch file for embroidery/weaving, or a colour-matched print file for sublimation and PVC moulds.</p><h2>2. Sampling</h2><p>A pre-production sample is made so you can approve colours, size, texture and backing before committing to bulk. At Mughal Apparel this takes 10–12 business days.</p><h2>3. Bulk production</h2><p>Approved designs run on multi-head embroidery machines, weaving looms, sublimation printers or PVC moulding presses depending on type. Bulk production runs 12–20 days.</p><h2>4. Cutting &amp; bordering</h2><p>Patches are cut and finished with a merrowed (overlocked) edge, a heat/laser-cut edge, or a die-cut shape.</p><h2>5. Backing &amp; QC</h2><p>The chosen backing — iron-on, velcro, sew-on or adhesive — is applied, then every batch passes AQL 2.5 quality inspection before packing and DDP shipping to the USA, UK and EU.</p><h2>Get a Custom Patch Quote</h2><p>Mughal Apparel is a B2B custom patch manufacturer in Daska, Sialkot, Pakistan.
