One of the most challenging steps in the creation of caps with patches is the Sizing. When it comes to a brand patch, it is important to consider the shape and sizing of the patches as it is with style; it enhances a brand and it identifies with the entity. This is the brand identity which wraps your image as a company to the clients and the world. In this post, we shall look at what guiding elements dictate patches sizes and what your most worthwhile tips are in customizing patch sizes.
Cap Style and Patch Application
Both the style of the cap and how the patch is intended to be placed will determine the patch's dimensions. For caps, patches are most of the time between 2 to 4 inches wide. A patch that is too large will make the cap unappealing. Alternatively, a patch that is too small will draw no notice. There is a balance that needs to be struck to achieve the desired effect.
Standard Size for Patches
While designing custom caps, patches are kept to certain standard sizes. A common choice is a 3 inch patch, as it is both neat and accommodates most detailed designs. Similarly, logos and text are well fitted at 2.5 inches as well. Furthermore, patches designed for detailed work under 4 inches are risky as most small caps have a high clutter risk.
Factors Affecting Size of Patches
There are quite a few custom changes that can be made for caps. For instance, the style of the cap can be a factor. Trucker style caps will have larger patches because of the stiff front panel while beanie caps will have smaller patches. Additionally, intricate designs will require larger patches, which increases the complexity of their size. Lastly, lad is quite important because the younger market tends to prefer bold designs while the older market is far more conservative.
How to Strategically Pick the Custom Dimensions of Patches
While choosing patches for your garments, it might be helpful to follow these steps: 1) For caps, check the front panel first, and then measure the patch. This way, the patch and the cap will be proportional after the patch is sewn on. 2) Test different patch sizes on several mock-ups. 3) Always note that a patch is part of a brand’s identity. Branding and its identity should be taken together, side by side branding strategy. 4) Like with any custom patches, a cross-industry designer is the best starting point.
