Company & Strength

Experienced team offering professional guidance for your custom projects

We are Shenzhen Awells Gift Co., Ltd. (own brand: AWELLS), founded in July 2012 and based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. We are a verified manufacturer specializing in custom badge-type apparel accessories. With 15 years on Alibaba.com, SGS Group on-site verification (April 2026), ranked #2 on the Apparel Accessories Powerhouse Factory list, over US$870,000 in online transactions, and roughly US$1.35 million in annual exports. Choosing us means partnering with a long-established factory backed by both the platform and an independent third party.

We are a genuine, SGS-verified competitive OEM factory with our own production lines and QC team. That means you deal directly with the source: more competitive pricing, controllable craftsmanship, faster sampling and revisions, plus factory footage and audit support on request.

Certifications & Compliance

Valid certificates to meet safety requirements for different global markets

We currently hold two core certifications: OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (cert no. 24.HCN.81814) and GRS Global Recycled Standard (cert no. SGC-GRC04708 series). Our factory was also on-site verified by the world-leading inspection body SGS Group on April 27, 2026. These certifications cover the two dimensions overseas buyers care most about: eco-safety and sustainability.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a globally recognized textile eco-safety certification, meaning our patches and emblems have passed strict testing for harmful substances (formaldehyde, azo dyes, heavy metals) and are skin-safe. For you, this means the products can be used directly on garments, baby-related items, and body-contact accessories without compliance worries, and pass buyer/channel quality audits more easily when entering the EU/US markets. Our cert no. is 24.HCN.81814, and originals are available for verification.

Products & Processes

Practical craft selection guide matching your design expectation and budget

Core categories: Embroidery Patches (flat, 3D puff, chenille techniques; merrowed or laser-cut borders), Soft PVC Patches (2D/3D, waterproof), Woven Patches, Dye-Sublimation Printed Patches, Chenille Patches, IR/TPU Patches; Woven and Leather Labels; Embroidered/PVC/Woven/Leather Keychains; Polyester and Woven Lanyards and Webbing; Metal Lapel Pins, Medals, Coins, Belt Buckles, Dog Tags; Embroidered Shoulder Marks and Custom Caps. A one-stop source for garment, bag, hat, uniform, military/police/outdoor, and club identity needs.

Soft PVC patches come in 2D and 3D versions, molded from eco-friendly soft rubber. They are waterproof, weather-resistant, non-fading, soft and elastic — ideal for outdoor, military/police, sports, and motorcycle scenarios needing durable identity marks. Options include multi-color layering, gradients, transparent bases, and glow-in-the-dark, with hook-and-loop backing available. Compared with embroidery, PVC better renders complex graphics and fine gradients.

Patch sizes commonly range from small 5cm badges to large 500mm back patches, subject to the design and process. The minimum legible size differs by process — e.g., designs with lots of small text are best done in woven or printed form for clarity. Once you provide artwork and target size, we assess feasibility and advise.

Customization & Sampling

Pre‑production digital or physical proof allowed with reasonable revisions

Fully supported. OEM customization from your artwork or sample is our core business — customized on demand is one of our SGS-certified service capabilities. Provide a logo, pattern, or finished sample, and we can replicate 1:1 or optimize as needed. Brand marks, exclusive colors, and custom packaging are all achievable.

We offer low-MOQ small-batch customization, with most patch styles starting as low as 50-100 pieces — some, like PVC patches, from 20-50 pieces. This is very friendly for sample orders, event orders, and small club batches. For a specific style MOQ and tiered pricing, tell us the product type and volume.

Standard embroidery/woven/PVC patch samples usually take about 3-7 working days, depending on complexity and mold needs. Whether a sampling fee applies depends on the style — standard items may be free or carry a refundable sample fee, while mold-based PVC/metal items usually require a one-time mold fee. Please confirm exact sampling lead time and fees with our sales.

The final quote depends on size, process, color count, backing, packaging, and quantity. Please share your design and volume for an accurate tiered quote.
