1. What file formats do you accept for file uploads?

   Our preferred file formats are cdr, eps, pdf, ai, and svg. We will also accept psd, jpg, gif, bmp, tif, and png.

 

2. Do I have to submit artwork/sketch?

   Yes, we at least need a sketch for a starting point. Graphic artwork is even better.

 

3. If I have a patch that was made elsewhere, can I duplicate it?

   Yes, mail us the patch and we can duplicate it, exactly.

 

4. Will I be able to approve artwork before my patch is produced?

   Yes, you will receive a graphic proof for approval by email prior to production.

 

5. How long will it take to receive my patches?

   Overall production time is about 5 weeks, plus shipping time. You will receive a graphic proof within about 1 week. After approval, your patches will ship within about 3-4 weeks. Keep in mind that if revisions are needed, this will impact the production date.

 

6. What is the smallest lettering size that can be used?

   All lettering should be a minimum of ¼ inch (8 mm) in height for best quality and legibility.

 

7. Can you make patches that are not related to martial arts?

   Yes, any style patch can be ordered, from Aeronautical to Zoology.
